Operating Instructions •
Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures.
It is recommended that air pressure of these tools measures
90 PSI at the tool while running free. Higher pressure (over
90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated
capacity of the tool, which will shorten tool life because of
faster wear and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the
air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a
weekly schedule. The recommended hookup procedure can
be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, has standard
1/4" NPT . Line pressure should be increased to compensate
for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose
diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the
same inside dimensions and be tightly secured.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no
air line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool.
The oil can be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose
at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the tool.
The amount of oil to be used is 1 ounce. Overfilling will
cause a reduction in the power of the tool.
Operation...
This ratchet wrench is rated at 3/8" USS bolt size. Rating
must be down graded for spring bolts, tie bolts, long cap
screws, double depth nuts, badly rusted conditions and
spring fasteners, as they absorb much of the impact power.
When possible, clamp or wedge the bolt to prevent spring-
back.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is directly related to joint
hardness, tool speed, condition of socket, and the time the
tool is allowed to impact.
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up. Every
connection absorbs energy and reduces power.
NOTE: Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break rust
seal before removing with ratchet wrench. If nut does not
start to move in three to five seconds, use a larger size
ratchet wrench. Do not use ratchet wrench beyond rated
capacity, as this will drastically reduce tool life.
