Storage
The impact wrench must be lubricated before storing. Follow the air motor lubrication instructions with an exception to step 4. Only run the impact wrench for 2 to 3 seconds instead of 20 to 30 seconds because more oil needs to remain in the impact wrench when storing. The tool should be stored in a cool dry place.
Troubleshooting Chart
Stop using tool immediately if any of the following problems occur. Serious personal injury could occur. Any repairs or replacements must be done by a Qualified Service Person or Authorized Service Center.
Symptom | Possible Cause(s) | Corrective Action | |||
Tool runs slowly or will not | 1. Grit or gum in tool | 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. | No oil in tool | 2. | Lubricate the tool according to the | |
|
|
|
| lubrication instructions in this manual | |
| 3. | Low air pressure | 3. | a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to | |
|
|
|
|
| the maximum setting |
|
|
|
| b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool | |
|
|
|
|
| maximum while the tool is running |

|
| free |
| 4. | Air hose leaks | 4. | Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are | |
|
|
|
| found | |
| 5. | Pressure drops | 5. | a. | 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 inch or larger depending on the |
|
|
|
|
| total length of the hose |
|
|
|
| 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. | Worn ball bearing in motor | 6. | Remove and inspect bearing for rust, dirt | |
|
|
|
| and grit or worn race. Replace or clean and | |
|
|
|
| regrease bearing with bearing grease | |
|

Moisture blowing out of tool | 1. | Water in tank | 1. | Drain tank. (See air compressor manual). | |
|
|
|
| Oil tool and run until no water is evident. | |
|
|
|
| Oil tool again and run | |
| 2. | Water in the air lines/hoses | 2. | a. | Install a water separator/filter. |
|
|
|
| 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 | |
|
|
|
| b. | Install an air dryer |
|
|
|
| c. | If the original separator will not |
|
|
|
|
| separate all the water from the air, |
|
|
|
|
| install a belt air filter |
