Sioux Tools 2 1/2 Series Instructions

All Sioux Air Tools are manufactured to extremely close tolerances. Reasonable care and preventative maintenance will greatly prolong
their service life.
This line of tools is designed for a long life of continuous duty on assembly lines, with a minimum of service and maintenance. Rotating
parts are mounted on extra-capacity ball bearings, rotors and spindles are finished to extreme accuracy for power and low air con-
sumption, gears and pinions are oversize and correctly hardened for quietness and long life.
Special attention has been given to ease of servicing. These tools can be disassembled and reassembled with ease.
Before connecting the tool, blow the air line to remove water and dirt which may have accumulated. This is especially important for a
new line or when the line has not been used for some time.

GEARS

The gears are lubricated at the factory. Every 100 hours of operation add 1/4 oz. of Sioux Grease No. 289A.
