Automatic Air Tool
Installation
UNPACKING:
1. Lift the outer tube of the packing box. Carefully examine the tool for shipping damage as
evidenced by dents, loose parts, etc. Report any shipping damage found to the carrier that
delivered the tool.
2. Lift out foot control valve and remove protective packing.
3. Remove the side panels (2) of the tool chassis. Keep the screws for reassembly. The tool is
bolted to the bottom base of the shipping carton. Remove these screws.
4. Lift the tool using the hand hole at the rear top of the chassis and the handle on the tool head.
Support the foot control valve and its lines to avoid damage while moving the tool.
5. The shipping carton has been specially prepared to protect the tool. It is recommended to keep
the carton and hardware so the tool can be repacked in it, should it be desirable to ship the tool to
another location or return it to the factory for service.
6. CAUTION: The tool weighs approximately 117 pounds. The aid of a suitable lifting device is
recommended for handling the tool. Use the lift points provided. See figure 2.
MOUNTING:
1. Locate the tool in its desired location, and secure the tool to the mounting surface with 5/16"
diameter bolts (4). Place the foot control valve on the floor. See figure 2 for location of the bolts.
2. A drain tube connected to the pipe connection on the bottom of the filter is supplied so the water,
automatically ejected, can be dumped. This drain line can be connected to a permanent drain
(recommended) or it can drain into a container. This line can be routed through the opening in the
front of the chassis. If alternate routing of the hose is desired, an access hole must be cut through
the chassis at the desired location.
3. Prepare the incoming air line, the supply air should be clean (filtered) and free of moisture.
Recommended air source hook up should be done with a quick-disconnect coupling such as a
Hansen 3000 series 1/4 npt socket and plug, or equivalent. For permanent hook up, use of a
shut-off valve in the air line is recommended to enable shut-off of the incoming air when servicing
the tool. Route the air line through the access hole in the rear of the chassis. Alternate routing of
the supply air can be done through the bottom of the chassis. Connect the air line to the tee fitting
in the inlet port of the filter. See figure 2.
4. Remove the filler plug of the lubricator, see figure 4, and fill the bowl to the fill line with the DTE 24
hydraulic oil supplied with the tool. Note: The lubricator cannot be filled while tool is pressurized.
5. Do not fill past the fill line on the bowl. Reattach filler plug. The tool is ready for preliminary
operation. Do not reassemble the side panels. The lubricator must be checked for proper
operation. Refer to the operating instructions section.
WARNING:
This tool is intended for use with industrial compressed air systems. The tool must not
be used where pressure or temperature may exceed the maximum rated operating condition as
stated in the specifications section. The polycarbonate plastic bowls used in this tool could be
damaged and possibly burst if exposed to strong alkali’s, compressor oils containing aromatic
hydrocarbons, synthetic oils, or fumes of these substances in contact with the polycarbonate plastic
bowls, externally or internally.
