CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Lubrication
An in-line oiler is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line
oiler should be regularly checked and filled with air-tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line oiler is performed
by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds.
The in-line oiler is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should
be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend,
etc.) it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately
30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean
and dry environment.
Recommended lubricants: use air-tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent,
rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an EP (extreme pressure) additive.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
Tool runs slowly
or will not
operate
Possible Cause
1. Grit or gum in tool.
2. No oil in tool.
3. Low air pressure.
4. Air hose leaks.
5. Pressure drops.
6. Worn rotor blade.
7. Moisture blowing out
of tool exhaust.
Corrective Action
1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication
instructions in this manual.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to maximum
setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool maximum
of 90 PSIG.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found. Use
sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hose or
tools using large volumes of air may require a hose
with an I.D. of 1/2 in. or larger depending on the total
length of the hoses.
b. 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. Water in tank: drain tank. (See air compressor
manual). Oil tool and run until no water is evident. Oil
tool again and run 1-2 seconds.
