4 . Air hose leaks .
5 . Pressure drops .
6 . Worn rotor blade in motor .
7 . Worn ball bearing in motor .
1 . Water in tank .
2 . Water in the air lines/hoses .
1 . Ratchet mechanism is dirty .
Corrective action
1 . Flush the tool with air tool oil, gum
solvent, or an equal mixture of SAE 10
motor oil and kerosene . If air tool oil is not
used, lubricate the tool after cleaning .
2 . Lubricate the tool according to the
lubrication instructions in this manual .
3a . Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting (If applicable) .
3b . Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum while the tool is running free .
4 . Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are
found .
5a . 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 inch
or larger depending on the total length of
the hose .
5b . Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with quick connect
fittings . This causes additional pressure
drops and reduces the tool power . Directly
connect the hoses together .
6 . Replace rotor blade .
7 . Remove and inspect bearing for rust, dirt
and grit or worn race . Replace or clean and
regrease bearing with bearing grease .
1 . Drain tank . Oil tool and run until no water
is evident . Oil tool again and run 1–2
seconds .
2a . Install a water separator/filter (PA2121) .
NOTE: Separators only work properly when
the air passing through the separator is
cool . Locate the separator/filter as far as
possible from the compressor .
2b . Install an air dryer .
2c . Anytime water enters the tool, the tool
should be oiled immediately .
1a . Clean mechanism with air tool oil .
