ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Letter references in parenthesis (A) refer to the included Identification Key.
INSTALL AIR COUPLER PLUG
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT male air coupler plug (sold separately) for use
with your tool.
1.
Wrap the external threads of the male coupler plug with sealant tape.
a.
Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.
b.
Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads
unwrapped for easier alignment.
2.
Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet (D) and tighten with a
wrench until snug.
3.
Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for air
leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the faulty
component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is connected directly
to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick
coupler may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line hose.
SOCKET INSTALLATION
WARNING! The torque of the air ratchet is 20 ft-lb. Make sure that the nut or
bolt you are using the tool to tighten can withstand the rated torque and is
rated for 230 RPM or greater. If available, check the recommended torque
specifications for the nut.
1.
Turn off the air compressor and disconnect the air hose when changing
sockets.
2.
Select the appropriately sized 1/4 in. drive impact socket for the job.
Only use impact sockets which are specifically designed for use with
an air ratchet. Do not use worn or damaged sockets.
3.
Push and snap the socket (not included) onto the anvil (B).
4.
Attach the air hose and turn the air compressor on.
OPERATION
WARNING! This tool generates considerable torque when in use. Always
hold the tool with both hands when using and brace yourself to resist the
torque which will be delivered to the workpiece.
