4) Determine the location of the compressed air inlet
and outlet of the Air Caddy. Connect the air hose from
the compressed air source to the inlet of the Air Caddy.
5) Connect the air hose (if utilized) to the outlet of the
Air Caddy.
6) Connect the air hose of the Long Reach Air Tool to
the outlet hose (if utilized) from the Air Caddy.
7) Connect the air hose attached to the inlet of the Air
Caddy to the compressed air source.
8) Turn the screw located on the bottom of the
pressure regulator in a clockwise direction to increase
the operating pressure to a maximum 90 PSI (600
kPa). Lock the screw in position. Variances in specific
design configurations can exist. The Long Reach Air
Tool has an operating pressure range of 40-90 PSI
(400-600 kPa). Do not exceed 90 PSI (600 kPa)
maximum operating pressure.
OPERATING THE LONG REACH AIR TOOL WITH
AN AIR PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF 90 PSI (600 kPa)
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
9) Adjust the oiler to deliver 1 drop of lubrication oil to
the Long Reach Air Tool per minute of operation.

10) If the Air Caddy is not being utilized for the job
application, proceed to manually lubricate the Long
Reach Air Tool with the following procedure:
a) Disconnect the air hose from the compressed air
source.
b) Disconnect the Long Reach Air Tool from the air
hose.
c) Insert 5 to 10 drops of pneumatic air tool lubrication
oil into the air hose supplied with the tool.
d) Reconnect the Long Reach Air Tool to the air hose.
e) Reconnect the air hose to the compressed air power
source.
f) Give the tool a short burst to allow the oil to penetrate
the moving components and to expell excess oil before
commencing with normal work.
f) Repeat the procedure every 30 minutes to maximize
tool service life and productivity. Improper lubrication
can significantly reduce service life and overall
productivity.
11) Even if the Air Caddy is utilized, it is recommended
that the manual lubricating procedure be utilized as it
ensures adequate starting lubrication for the moving
components. Care must be exercised not to over oil the
tool or excess oil will be blown out and mark/stain the
work surface. Lubrication oil must be clean and of the
correct grade. A heavy or dirty oil will only gum up the
moving components.
