MAINTENANCE

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment
to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools'
operating valves and mechanisms that could cause
tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful
to "O" rings and seals. Do not use these low temperature
air dryers without checking compatibility.

AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE AND VOLUME
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume
supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersize
fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the
system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving
an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading
is high. The results will be a slow operation or reduced
driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these
symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply
source for restrictive connectors, low points containing
water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow
of air to the tool.
SOLUTION
Verify adequate air supply
Lubricate tool
Install Overhaul Kit
Verify that fasteners are the correct size
Replace fasteners
and replace O-rings
