AIR SUPPLY

Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended
that air pressure measures 90 psig at the tool with the trigger fully
depressed and no load applied to the tool. Higher pressure (over 90
psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated capacity of the
tool, which will shorten tool life and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in the
air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the water from air lines
and compressor prior to running tool. Clean the air inlet filter screen
weekly. The recommended hookup procedure can be viewed in the
Figure 1.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard 1/4" NPT.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long
air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D.
and fittings should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly
secured.
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach
tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part
or accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on
this tool.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed
in the air supply line and make others aware of its location.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic
action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line,
moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of
improper size or poor conditions may reduce air supply. Grit or gum
deposits in the tool may cut power and may be corrected by cleaning
the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an
equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If outside conditions are
in order, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your nearest
authorized service center.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Lubricate the air motor daily with high quality air tool oil. If no air line
oiler is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted
into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to
the air supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for
air tools.
WARNING: After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge
through the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation.
The exhaust port must be covered with a towel before applying air
pressure to prevent serious injury.
OPERATION
The SX160 3/8" ratchet is designed to fasten and unfasten threaded
fasteners while operating under recommended conditions. Note the
directional setting of the reversing button before depressing the
throttle. Ensure body stance to be in excellent balance and have
full control of the tool before use. Be fully alert as sudden reaction
torques and directional changes may unexpectedly occur. Be aware
that air ratchets are not torque wrenches or pry bars. Joints and
fasteners requiring a specific torque must be checked with a torque
wrench as the final step. Using the air ratchet while the power is in
the "off" position, to tighten or break-free fasteners, can irreversibly
damage its internal mechanism and will void any remaining warranty.
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach
tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part
or accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on
this tool.
WARNING: Use only impact sockets and accessories on this tool. Do
not use hand sockets and accessories.
