Always wear eye protection when operating or performing maintenance on this tool. Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air supply hose before inst alling, removing or adjusting a ny accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool.
Note: When reading the instructions, refer to exploded diagrams in Parts Information Manuals when applicable (see under
Related Documentation for form numbers).

Lubrication

Each time a Series 2161P or 2171P Impact Wrench is disassembled for maintenance and repair or replacement of parts, lubricate the tool as follows:
1. Work approximately 12 to 15 cc of Ingersoll Rand No. 170 Grease into the impact mechanism. Coat the Anvil (38) lightly with grease around the Hammer Case
Bushing (36). Inject approximately 2 to 4 cc of grea se into the Grease Fitting (15).

2. Use Ingersoll Rand No. 10 Oil for lubricating the motor. Inject approximately 1 to 2 cc of oil into the air inlet before attaching the air hose.

Disassembly

General Instructions

1. Do not disassemble the tool any further than necessary to replace or repair damaged parts.

2. Whenever grasping a tool or a part in a vise, always use leather-covered or copper-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of the part and help p reven t distor tion. This is particularly true of threaded members and housings.

3. Do not remove any part which is a press fit in or on a subassembly unless the removal of that part is necessary for repair or replacement.

4. Do not disassemble the Impact Wrench unless you have a complete set of new gaskets and O- Rings for repl aceme nt.

Disassembly of the Hammer Case and Anvil Assembly

NOTICE
Before disassembling this tool, clamp the anvil drive in leather-covered or copper-covered vise jaws with the Backcap (14) pointing upward. See Drawing TPD1922.
3. Remove the Hammer Case Gasket (34) and replace wi th a new one when assembling the Hammer Case to the Housing.
4. Remove the Hammer Case and impact mechanism assembly from the vise. Remove the Hammer Frame Washer (30) from the rear of th e H amm er Fra m e an d set it aside on a clean bench.
5. Place the impact mechanism on a bench with the Anvil (pointing upward). Make sure that the Hammer Pi ns (33) do not drop out of the Hammer.
6. Lift the Hammer Case off of the Anvil (38). If it is unnecessary to disassemble the impact mechanism, set it aside intact.

Disassembly of the Impact Mechanism

Disassemble the impact mechanism as follows:
1. Set the mechanism, driver end up, on the workbench. Using a felt tipped pen, mark one e nd of the H ammer “ Ç“ with the arrow pointing upward.
2. With the mechanism sitting upright on the workbench, slowly rotate the Anvil in a clockwise direction until it comes up solid.
NOTICE
If you continue to rotate the Anvil, it will cam the Hammer out of engagement. Don’t do this; merely rotate the Anvil until it comes up solid.
3. Hold the Hammer Frame firmly and, without disturbing the Hammer, gently lift the Anvil from the Hammer Frame.
4. With the Anvil removed, lift out the two Hammer Pins.
CAUTION
The Hammer is now free to slide from the Hammer Frame. Be careful not to drop it.

Disassembly of the Reverse Valve

1. Coat the Hammer (38) with a light film of Ingersoll Rand No. 170 Grease.
2. Slide the Hammer into the Hammer Frame (36) exactly as it was when you marked it prior to disassembly.
NOTICE
In order to utilize both impacting surfaces on the Hammer and thus equalize the wear on each hammer jaw, the Hammer can be flipped over so that the arrow is pointing downward.
3. Replace the Hammer Pins (37).
4. Examine the base of the Anvil (39) and note its contour. While looking down through the Hammer Frame, swing the Hammer to its full extreme one way or another until you can match the contour of the Anvil. Enter the Anvil into the Hammer Frame and through the Hammer.

Assembly of the Anvil

1. Place the Hammer Frame Washer (30), hub side first, over the hub of the Rotor and against the Front Rotor Bearing.
2. Set the assembled impact mechanism down over the splined hub of the Rotor. If the impact mechanism was disassembled, refer to Assembly of the Impact Mechanism.
3. Position the new Hammer Case Gasket (34) on the Housing.
4. Work approximately 12 to 15 cc of Ingersoll Rand No. 170 Grease into the impact mechanism.
5. Smear a thin film of Ingersoll Rand No. 170 Grease on the inside surface of the Hammer Case Bushing (36) an d place the Hammer Case (35) down over the Anvil and against the Motor Retainer.

2. Secure the Hammer Case and impact mechanism by the anvil (square drive) end in leather-covered or copper­covered vise jaws. See Dwg. TPD1922.
(Dwg. TPD1922)
3. Install a new Hammer Case Gasket (34) on the Hammer Case making sure that the holes in the gasket align with the holes in the Hammer Case.
NOTICE
When installing optional Hanger Kit, place Gasket (34) on the Housing.
4. Wipe a small amount of the recommended gr ease on the flat side of the Hammer Frame Washer (30) and place it on the splined face of the Hammer Frame (31) with the hub end of the washer pointing up.
NOTICE
When installing optional Hanger Kit, place additional washer provided between the Hammer Frame and Hammer Frame Washer.
5. Set the fully assembled Motor Housing over the opening in the Hammer Case. Insert the spline drive of the Rotor into the splined hole of the impact mechanism. Make sure of the wide section of the Hammer Case is just above th e Trigger.
