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 tool
maximum of 90 psi.
□
Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks
are found use pipe thread tape.
□
Be sure 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"
or larger depending on the total length
of the hose.
□
Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with quick connect
fitting. This causes additional pressure
drops and reduces the tool power.
Directly connect the hoses together.
□
Replace rotor blade.
□
Remove and inspect bearing for rust,
dirt and grit. Replace or clean and
grease bearing with bearing grease.
□
Drain tank. (See air compressor manual).
Oil tool and run until no water is
evident. Oil tool again and run 1-2
seconds.
□
Lubricate the air motor and the impact
mechanism. (See Lubrication section of
this manual).
□
Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting.
□
Replace worn impact mechanism
components.
□
Replace broken impact mechanism
components.
