Likely Solutions
1. Check for loose connections and make sure
that air supply is providing enough air flow
(CFM) at required pressure (PSI) to the
tool's air inlet. Do not exceed maximum air
pressure.
2. Clean around valve to ensure free
movement.
3. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease
according to directions.
4. Clean air inlet screen of buildup.
5. Make sure housing is properly assembled
and tight.
6. Have qualified service technician clean and
lubricate mechanism. Install in-line filter in air
supply as stated in Initial Set Up: Air Supply.
7. Replace all rotor blades as a set.
1. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease
according to directions.
2. Have qualified service technician inspect
internal mechanism and replace parts as
needed.
1. Check for incorrect alignment and uneven
gaps. If cross-threaded, disassemble and
replace damaged parts before assembly.
2. Tighten housing assembly. If housing cannot
be tightened properly, internal parts may be
misaligned.
3. Replace damaged components.
4. Clean or replace Control Ring assembly.
