Models 2131 and 2131- -2 Impact Wrenches are designed for use in general automotive repair,
tire service and heavy duty fleet applications.
Ingersoll- -Rand is not responsible for customer modification of tools for applications on which
Ingersoll- -Rand was not consulted.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER TO PLACE THE INFORMATION
IN THIS MANUAL INTO THE HANDS OF THE OPERATOR.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE
Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in
•
accordance with American National Standards
Institute Safety Code for Portable Air Tools
(ANSI B186.1).
For safety, top performance, and maximum durability
•
of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa)
maximum air pressure at the inlet with 3/8" (10 mm)
inside diameter air supply hose.
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air
•
supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting
any accessory on this tool, or before performing any
maintenance on this tool.
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses
•
and fittings.
Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and
•
are tightly secured. See Dwg. TPD905- -1 for a typical
piping arrangement.
Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig maximum air
•
pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive
moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool.
Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile
•
liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
•
The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler
•
connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk
and decreases tool maneuverability.
For maximum performance, the coupler on the wall
•
should be the next size larger than the coupler used
on the tool. The coupler closest to the tool should not
be less than the proper air supply hose size.
USING THE TOOL
Always wear eye protection when operating or
•
performing maintenance on this tool.
Always wear hearing protection when operating this
•
tool.
Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from
•
rotating end of tool.
Note the position of the reversing lever before
•
operating the tool so as to be aware of the direction of
rotation when operating the throttle.
The use of other than genuine Ingersoll- -Rand replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance, and
increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your nearest Ingersoll- -Rand Authorized Servicenter.
Refer All Communications to the Nearest
Ingersoll- - Rand Office or Distributor.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ENCLOSED.
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING TOOL.
03539210
Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion
•
during start up and operation of any power tool.
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not
•
overreach when operating this tool. High reaction
torques can occur at or below the recommended air
pressure.
Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after throttle
•
is released.
Air powered tools can vibrate in use. Vibration,
•
repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may be
harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using any tool
if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek
medical advice before resuming use.
Use accessories recommended by Ingersoll- - Rand.
•
Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use
•
hand (chrome) sockets or accessories.
Impact wrenches are not torque wrenches.
•
Connections requiring specific torque must be
checked with a torque meter after fitting with an
impact wrench.
This tool is not designed for working in explosive
•
atmospheres.
This tool is not insulated against electric shock.
•
Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust and
•
particles created by power tool use:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- - lead from lead based paints,
- - crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- - arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
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 those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
