Maintenance
Ensure the air line is shut-off and drained of air before removing this tool for service . This will prevent the tool from
operating if the throttle is accidentally engaged .
LUBRICATION
□ An in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained
operation .
□ Regularly check and fill the in-line lubricator with air tool oil . Avoid using excessive amounts of oil .
□ Adjust the in-line lubricator by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool's exhaust ports and holding the throttle open
approximately 30 seconds . The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper .
□ If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc .), generously lubricate the
tool through the air inlet . Run the tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout
the tool . Store the tool in a clean and dry environment .
□ Recommended lubricants: Air tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust
inhibitors, metal wetting agents, and an EP (extreme pressure) additive .
Troubleshooting
Problem
The tool runs slowly or will not
operate .
There is moisture blowing out
of the tool's exhaust .
Possible Cause
There is grit or gum in the tool .
The tool is out of oil .
The air pressure is low .
The air hose leaks .
The air pressure drops .
There is a worn rotor blade in the motor .
There is a worn ball bearing in the motor .
There is water in the tank .
Solution
Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent .
Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication
instructions in this manual .
□ Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting .
□ Adjust the compressor regulator to the tool's
maximum setting of 90 psi .
Tighten and seal the hose fittings with pipe thread
tape if leaks are found .
□ Ensure the hose is the proper size . Long
hoses or tools 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 hose .
□ Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with a quick connect
fitting . This causes additional pressure drops
and reduces the tool power . Directly connect
the hoses together .
Replace the rotor blade .
Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt, and
grit . Replace or clean and grease the bearing with
bearing grease .
Drain the tank . (See the air compressor manual
for instructions .) Lubricate the tool and run it until
water is not evident . Lubricate the tool again and
run for 1-2 seconds .
