Operating the AirNut
General Instructions
When the AirNut is activated it will extend 1.250"
(31.75mm)
The AirNut will slide freely over the threaded portion
of the arbor shaft when the thumb release is pressed
down. When the thumb release is released, the “par-
tial nut” will engage the arbor shaft threads the AirNut
will be held in place.
The air chamber of the AirNut is activated by pushing
the air gun into the receiving port (opposite the yellow
button) found on the “hand end” of the AirNut. Air is
released through the inflator by pushing the air gun
towards and into the AirNut.
