Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Causes Likely Solutions
Decreased output. 1. Not enough air pressure and/
or air ow.
2. Undersized or extra long hose.
3. Obstructed trigger.
4. Incorrect lubrication or not
enough lubrication.
5. Blocked air inlet screen (if
equipped).
6. Air leaking from loose housing.
7. Mechanism contaminated.
8. Vane wear or damage.
1. Check for loose connections and make sure that air
supply is providing enough air ow (CFM) at required
pressure (PSI) to the tool’s air inlet. Do not exceed
90 PSI maximum air pressure.
2. Use correct sized hose.
3. Clean around trigger to ensure free movement.
4. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease according to
directions.
5. Clean air inlet screen of buildup.
6. Make sure housing is properly assembled and tight.
7. Have qualied technician clean and lubricate
mechanism. Install in-line lter in air supply as stated
in Initial Set Up: Air Supply.
8. Replace all vanes.
Housing heats
during use.
1. Incorrect lubrication or not
enough lubrication.
2. Worn parts.
1. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease according to
directions.
2. Have qualied technician inspect internal mechanism
and replace parts as needed.
Severe air
leakage.
(Slight air leakage
is normal,
especially on older
tools.)
1. Cross-threaded housing
components.
2. Loose housing.
3. Damaged valve or housing.
4. Dirty, worn or damaged valve.
1. Check for incorrect alignment and uneven gaps. If
cross-threaded, disassemble and replace damaged
parts before use.
2. Tighten housing assembly. If housing cannot be
tightened properly, internal parts may be misaligned.
3. Replace damaged components.
4. Clean or replace valve assembly.
