How to fix loose impactor housing bolts on WORKMASTER GO-A8-PW Gate Opener?
If the impactor housing bolts on your WORKMASTER Gate Opener become loose, it's likely due to vibration from impacting. To resolve this, apply Loctite to the bolts and retighten them.
What to do if WORKMASTER Gate Opener will not shut-off?
If your WORKMASTER Gate Opener will not shut off, it could be due to a stuck or bent throttle trigger. Try lubricating it with air motor oil and briskly operate the trigger. Alternatively, the throttle valve assembly might be broken or out of position. In this case, remove the throttle valve assembly and install a new valve body assembly.
Why WORKMASTER GO-A8-PW Gate Opener runs slowly?
If your WORKMASTER Gate Opener tool runs slowly or not at all and air flows only slightly from the exhaust, it could be due to several reasons. The airflow might be blocked by an accumulation of dirt, so check that all housing bolts are tight, and if not, apply Loc-Tite and retighten them. Motor parts could be jammed with dirt particles; pour a liberal amount of air tool oil into the air inlet. Air might be escaping through a housing connection that has vibrated loose; operate the tool in short bursts, quickly reversing rotation back and forth. Repeat as needed. Tap the motor housing lightly with a soft-faced mallet. Disconnect the air supply and attempt to free the motor by rotating the drive shank manually.
Why WORKMASTER GO-A8-PW lacks power?
If your WORKMASTER Gate Opener tool runs and impacts but exhibits a lack of power (will not open gates that it previously would), it might be because the back head gasket is broken through. Replace the gasket to resolve this issue.
How to keep drive fittings on WORKMASTER Gate Opener?
If the drive fittings will not stay on your WORKMASTER Gate Opener, it is likely because the shank pin with the O-ring is not being used to secure the drive fitting. Replace the shank pin and O-ring.
What causes premature square drive wear in WORKMASTER Gate Opener?
Premature wear on the square drive of your WORKMASTER Gate Opener is likely due to worn drive fitting sockets. Replace the worn drive fitting.
Why is my WORKMASTER Gate Opener gradually losing power but still runs at full free speed?
The internal parts of your WORKMASTER Gate Opener may be worn or sticking due to a lack of lubricant. If your tool is oil-lubed, check the in-line lubricator sight glass for the presence of air motor oil. If your tool is grease-lubed, note that vibration and heat usually indicate insufficient grease in the Hammer Case Assembly, and the average greasing interval is six months, though severe operating conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Check for excess grease by rotating the Square Drive by hand; it should turn freely. Excess grease is usually expelled automatically. Disassembly is required for greasing.
What to do if my WORKMASTER Gate Opener will not shut-off?
If your WORKMASTER Gate Opener will not shut-off, it could be due to a stuck or bent throttle trigger, or a broken or out-of-position throttle valve assembly. First, try lubricating the trigger with air motor oil and operate it briskly. If that doesn't work, remove the throttle valve assembly and install a new valve body assembly.
How to fix WORKMASTER GO-A8-PW impactor housing bolts that become loose?
