the effect of sudden torque reac-
tion during final tightening and
initial loosening.
An additional support handle or
absorption bar may be needed to
resist torque reaction. Absorption
bars must be positioned correctly to
avoid injury.
Proceed with care in unfamiliar
surroundings. Be aware of potential
hazards created by your work
activity.
Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Additional Safety Topics
5.
The workpiece must be held
securely.
This tool and its accessories must
not be modified.
This tool is not insulated for coming
into contact with electric power
sources and is not recommended
for use in explosive atmospheres.
Operators and maintenance
operators and maintenance
personnel must be physically able to
handle the bulk, weight and power
of the tool and be capable of
performing the job task.
For professional use only.
Installation
Designed to operate on 90 PSI, lower
pressure (below 90 PSI) will reduce
performance of the tool while higher
air pressure (over 90 PSI) raises the
performance of the tool beyond its

rated capacity and could cause serious
damage to tool and user.
Always use clean dry air.
Excessive moisture and
dirt will greatly reduce the life of any air motor.
We recommend the installation of an in-
line filter-regulator-lubricator as close
to the tool as possible.
Pre-Operation
Before the tool is connected to the air
supply, clean the air hose of
accumulated dust and moisture. Before
removing a tool for service or changing
sockets, make sure the air line is shutoff
and drained of air. This will prevent the
tool from operating if the throttle is
accidently engaged.
Operation
Supply tool with 90 psi of

clean, dry air. Higher pressure
drastically reduces tool life. Connect
tool to air line using pipe, hose, and
fitting sizes shown in Figure 2.
Air Supply and Connection

Hazards.
Air under pressure can cause severe
injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain
hose of air pressure and disconnect
tool from air supply when not in
use, before changing accessories or
when making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or
anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause serious
injury-Always check for damaged
or loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect
couplings at tool. See Figure 2
for correct set-up.
Whenever universal twist couplings
are used, lock pins must be
installed.
Do not exceed maximum
air pressure of 90 PSI

Maintenance
Lubrication
Use an air line lubricator with Mobil
Almo 525 air tool oil (model 4ZF22),
adjusted to two (2) drops per minute. If
an air line lubricator can not be used,
add air motor oil to the inlet once a
day. Monthly, lubricate the drive
bushing and ratchet yoke with a good
grade bearing grease.Periodically,
depending upon use, the ratchet head
assembly should be removed,cleaned
and re-greased.
