Operation

LUBRICATION

Proper lubrication is the owner’s
responsibility. Failure to lubricate the air
tool properly will dramatically shorten
the life of the tool and will void the
warranty.

This impact wrench

BEFORE the initial use and BEFORE and
AFTER each additional use.

Impact wrenches require lubrication
throughout the life of the tool and
must be lubricated and or greased in
two separate areas: the air motor and
the impact mechanism. Follow the
outlined procedures and refer to parts
manual for tool features. Campbell
Hausfeld air tool oil (ST127000AV) is
recommended because this oil cleans,
lubricates and inhibits rust all in one
step.

AIR MOTOR LUBRICATION

The motor must be lubricated daily. An
air motor cannot be oiled too often.

Disconnect the

the air supply before lubricating.

1. Disconnect the impact wrench from

2. Turn the impact wrench upside

3. While pulling the trigger, squeeze

After an air tool

oil will discharge through the exhaust
port during the first few seconds of
operation. Thus, THE EXHAUST PORT
MUST BE COVERED WITH A TOWEL
before applying air pressure. FAILURE
TO COVER THE EXHAUST PORT CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

4. Connect the impact wrench to the

has been lubricated,

air supply and cover the exhaust port
with a towel (Refer to replacement
parts manual for tool features).
Run the impact wrench in both the
forward and reverse directions for
20 to 30 seconds. Oil will discharge
from the exhaust port when air
pressure is applied.

IMPACT MECHANISM LUBRICATION

Lubricate the impact mechanism
monthly. See the enclosed yellow flyer.

Disconnect the

impact wrench from

the air supply before lubricating.

1. Disconnect the impact wrench from
the air supply.

2. Remove the slotted screw or allen
head screw from the oil port hole
(Refer to replacement parts list for
tool features).

3. Squeeze approximately 1 ounce of
Campbell Hausfeld air tool oil in the
oil port hole. Replace the screw.

4. Reconnect the air supply to the
impact wrench and run for 20 to 30
seconds. Lubricate the entire impact
mechanism by rotating the tool
upside down and sideways while
running the tool.

5. Remove the screw and hold the oil
port hole over a suitable container
to allow excess oil to drain.
Sometimes triggering the tool when
dumping the oils helps to force out
the excess oil.

6. If the oil is dirty, repeat the
procedure above until the oil comes
out clear. Install the screw and
tighten. The residual oil remaining
in the impact mechanism chamber
is all that is needed for proper
lubrication.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP

The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the tool.

1. The air compressor
must be able to
maintain a minimum
of 60 PSI when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.

2. An oiler can be
used to provide oil
circulation through
the tool. A filter can
be used to remove liquid and solid
impurities which can rust or “gum
up” internal parts of the tool.

3. Always use air supply hoses with
a minimum working pressure
rating equal to or greater than the
pressure from the power source if a
regulator fails, or 200 PSI, whichever
is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for
runs up to 50 feet. Use 3/8 inch air
hoses for 50 foot run or longer.

200 PSI or greater

3/8 inch I.D.

4. Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating
pressure of 0 PSI - 125 PSI. A pressure
regulator is required to control
the operating pressure of the tool
between 60 PSI and 90 PSI.

60 PSI
Min.

90 PSI
Max.

SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The impact wrench should never
be used to set torque. Use a torque
wrench to set the torque. All models
are equipped with regulators for speed
adjustment (Refer to parts manual for
tool features).

To remove lugs or bolts, set the
regulator to the maximum setting.
When installing, always use a torque
wrench to attain the proper torque of
the lugs or bolts.

When reassembling

be careful not to
overtighten. Bolts may fail or cause a
hazardous condition. Be sure to set the
regulator to the minimum setting then
use a torque wrench to set torque.

AIR TOOL SET-UP
NOTE: It is not recommended to install

a quick coupler between the tool and
the whip hose.

Using fittings or air hoses which are
too small can create a pressure drop
and reduce the power of the tool. For
3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 inch impact wrenches
use 3/8 inch (I.D.) fittings with 1/4 inch
NPT threads. Most compressors are
shipped with a short, 1/4 inch I.D. hose.
For proper performance and more
convenience, use a 3/8 inch I.D. hose.
Hoses longer than 50 feet should have a
1/2 inch I.D.

For 1 inch impact wrenches use 1/2 inch
(I.D.) fittings with 1/2 inch NPT threads
and a 1/2 inch I.D. hose. Hoses longer
than 50 feet should have a 1 inch I.D.

Never carry a tool

by the hose or
pull the hose to move the tool or a
compressor. Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any
hose that is damaged, weak or worn.

Storage

The impact wrench must be lubricated
before storing. Follow the air motor
lubrication instructions with an
exception to step 4. Only run the impact
wrench for 2 to 3 seconds instead of 20
to 30 seconds because more oil needs
to remain in the impact wrench when
storing.
