Troubleshooting Chart

Symptom
Tool runs slowly or will not
operate
Moisture blowing out of tool
Ratchet mechanism slips or will
not loosen nut
Possible Cause(s)
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 in
motor
7. Worn ball bearing in
motor
1. Water in tank
2. Water in the air
lines/hoses
1.Ratchet mechanism is
dirty
Corrective Action
1. Flush the tool with air tool oil, gum solvent, or an equal mixture of
SAE 10 motor oil and kerosene. If air tool oil is not used, lubricate
the tool after cleaning
2. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication instructions in this
manual
3a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum setting (If
applicable)
3b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool maximum while the tool is
running free
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found
5a. Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses or tools using large
volumes of air may require a hose with an I.D. of 1/2" or larger
depending on the total length of the hose
5b. 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. Remove and inspect bearing for rust, dirt and grit or worn race.
Replace or clean and regrease bearing with bearing grease
1. Drain tank. (See air compressor manual). Oil tool and run until no
water is evident. Oil tool again and run 1-2 seconds
2a. Install a water separator/filter (PA2121). NOTE: Separators only work
properly when the air passing through the separator is cool. Locate
the separator/filter as far as possible from the compressor
2b. Install an air dryer
2c. Anytime water enters the tool, the tool should be oiled immediately
1a. Clean mechanism with air tool oil
1b. Replace worn mechanism
