• Recommended 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) ID hose, optional 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) ID hose.

Check that your shop air provides ade- quate air flow. See Technical Data, page 23, for minimum cfm requirements.

The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a compatible sol- vent before using the equipment. See Flush, page 10.
