4. AIR LINES
4.1 Air Line Connection and
Requirements
Itisrecommendedtousealter/dryer/lubricatoronthe
airlineusedtosupplytheATC.Airsupplyrequirements
dependonfrequencyoftoolchanges.Forsuccessful
operaon,yourcompressorwillneedtobeableto
maintain95PSItotheATC.Typicallyconsumponfor
frequenttoolchangesislessthan4CFMat95PSI.
Pleasenotethatnotallregulatorsarecreatedequal.
Inexpensiveregulatorstendtoconstrictairow,which
makesforlongermake-upmesasthepowerdrawbar
res.Whilethisisnotaproblemforthepowerdrawbar
whenoperatedbyhand(theuserjustwaitstheextra
secondortwoforthecylindertofullypressurize),itcan
causeproblemswhenusingtheATC,whichonlypauses
500msbetweenthedrawbarringandthezaxismoving.
Beerregulatorsdonotrestricttheowwhileregulang
pressure.
Connecting the Air Lines
1. Manuallypullthetooltraytotheretractedposion
bypullingonthemotorenclosureoritwillretract
suddenlywhenyoupressurizetheairlines.
2. Routetheairlines.Thelinesarelabeledateachend-
connectthemtothesolenoids/ngswiththesame
labels.
3. Connecttheairlinefromyourcompressortothele
sideinputconnectorlabeled“AIR-IN”.Youcanremove
thepushnganduseaquickconnectagainstthe
rstteeifdesired,butwe’vefounditeasiertorun
tubingtoaquickconnectnginaneasier-to-reach
locaon.
4. Threadthe¼NPTpushngintotheairinputport
ofthepowerdrawbar.Connectthepowerdrawbar

betweenthe“DRAWBAR”pushngontheright
sideoftheATCsolenoidpanelandthedrawbarinput
pushngonthedrawbarsolenoid.Thecheckvalve
allowsairtopassinonedirecononly–ifyouinstallit
backwardsthepowerdrawbarwillnotoperate.
5. Ifyouhavepurchasedtheoponalpressuresensor(PN
32329),spliceitintoairlineDandinserttheelectrical
connectorintothejackonthecolumncoverplateas
