PNEUMATIC INFORMATION

AIR SUPPLY INSTALLATION
If compressor has a good dryer unit, use black pickled pipe. When a dryer unit is not installed,
use galvanized or copper pipe. To perform reliably, a pneumatic tool requires a continuous
source of clean, water-free air at adequate pressure.
Never operate this tool using a bottled air or gas source.
Bottled air/gas sources do not provide consistent operating pressure
A filter-regulator-lubricator
(FRL) unit must be installed as
close to the air tool as
possible, preferably within 10
feet. It should be placed in a
convenient location where it
can easily be drained,
adjusted, and filled with oil.
The air hose must have at least
a 3/8" I.D. A quick disconnect
socket fitting is installed on
the stress spring end of the
hose for convenient hookup to
the air tool.

Filter and lubricator bowls are made of polycarbonate material. Do not install where bowls may
be exposed to materials incompatible with polycarbonate. Certain oils, solvents, and chemicals
or their fumes can weaken these bowls and possibly cause them to burst. Clean only with warm
water. A cut-off valve placed ahead of the filter will be useful when cleaning the filter or
replenishing the lubricator.
