AIR SUPPLY

The oil and water extractor should not be mounted on or near the air compressor.

The temperature of air is greatly increased during compression. As the air cools down to room temperature, in the air line, on its way to the Air Power Tool, the moisture contained in it condenses. Thus, for maximum effectiveness, the oil and water extractor should be mounted at some point

in the air supply system where the temperature of the compressed air in the line is likely to be lowest. Air lines must be properly drained daily. Each low point in an air line acts as a water trap. Such points should be fitted with an easily accessible drain. See diagram below. Pitch all air lines back towards the compressor so that condensed moisture will flow back into the air receiver where it can be drained off. Drain daily.

25 FEET OR MORE

Oil and Water Extractor should be at least 25 ft. from the compressor. Further if possible.

Adjust your air compressor air pressure to 90-120psi, (6.21-8.28 Bars).

NOTE:

If you use extra long air hoses more than 50 feet long you may have to increase the air pressure to compensate for reduced air operating pressure. Always use clean, dry air that has been filtered and is free of dust, corrosives fumes or moisture. You should drain the air tank daily and clean the filtering system as needed. To use more air pressure will shorten that air tools life and may lead to premature failure of this Air Riveter Gun and could cause injury. Use the standard air supply information located in the above diagram.
