slowly or will
not operate.
5. Pressure drops.
6. Worn rotor blade. 6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Moisture blowing
out of tool exhaust.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum
solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool.

tool maximum of 90 PSI.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if
leaks are found. Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size.
Tool using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of 1/2 in.
or larger depending on the total
length of the hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of
hoses connected together with
quick-connect fittings. This causes
additional pressure drops and
reduces the tool power. Directly
connect the hoses together.
7. Water in tank; a. drain tank. (See air
compressor manual). b. Oil tool and
