BEFORE USING THIS AIR TOOL
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This ratchet is designed to speed up productivity, not for high torque applications such as head bolts, lug
nuts, etc. DO NOT USE THIS RATCHET UNDER POWER TO BREAK FASTENERS LOOSE. Loosen
fasteners by hand without depressing throttle. Once loose depress throttle. Always perform final torque
tightening by hand.
This ratchet is rated to 3/8” bolt size. Rating will decrease for U-bolts, long cap screws, spring fasteners
and rusted or corroded fasteners. All these factors absorb power and reduce torque capability.
Use the simplest socket to wrench hook-up. Any additional extensions, U-joints or adapters will absorb
power and reduce torque capability.
Forward/Reverse Lever - Select “F” for forward (clockwise) or “R” for reverse (counter clockwise) opera-
tion. Do not attempt to change direction while tool is running.
If fastener bogs, slows or binds the tool (or, if the fastener fails to move in 5 seconds), use a large size
impact wrench with a higher torque rating. Overloading this tool will cause premature wear and/or per-
manent damage to internal and external drive parts and will void warranty.
To ensure long life be sure to oil the tool daily. Pour 4 drops of Eagle air tool (SEA 20 non
detergent) oil into the air inlet, and then run the tool for a few seconds to clean.
If tool is an impact wrench fitted with a “Zirc” grease fitting:
The hammer mechanism of this tool also needs to be greased from time to time (depending
on usage). The tool is equipped with grease fitting for this purpose; use this connection to
re-grease the tool using Eagle impact wrench grease.
PLEASE USE EAGLE SEA 20 NON DETERGENT OIL
TROUBLESHOOTING

Dirt in tool. Clean with mixture of 50/50 tool
oil/solvent. Lubricate after cleaning.
Insufficient air pressure. Check regulator and air supply for
leaks. Check compressor to make
sure it operates at correct pressure.
Make sure air hose is properly sized
and that multiple hoses are not
connected to same outlet. Check air
hose for leaks and repair.
Rotor blades worn or motor
bearing worn or dirty.
Replace blades, inspect clean or
replace bearing.
