Air Supply
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is
recommended that air pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at the
tool while running free. Higher pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises
performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool which will shorten
tool life because of faster wear and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in the
air
line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the air
inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The recommended hookup
procedure can be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, has standard 1⁄4" NPT.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long
air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D.
and fittings should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly
secured.
Lubrication
Lubricate the air motor daily with air tool oil. If no air line
oiler is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can be
squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest
connection to the air supply, then run the tool. Overfilling will cause
a reduction in the power of the tool.
Operation
This ratchet wrench is rated at 1/4" USS bolt size. Rating must
be down graded for spring U bolts, tie bolts, long cap screws,
double depth nuts, badly rusted conditions and spring fasteners,
as they absorb much of the impact power. When possible, clamp
or wedge the bolt to prevent springback.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is directly related to joint
hardness, tool speed, condition of socket and the time the tool is
allowed to impact.
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up. Every
connection absorbs energy and reduces power.
NOTE: Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break rust seal
before removing with ratchet wrench. If nut does not start to
move in three to five seconds, use a larger size ratchet wrench.
Do not use ratchet wrench beyond rated capacity as this will
drastically reduce tool life.
