173. Precautions
a. Never direct the stream of air from the blow gun attachment at nearby individuals. The air under this pressure
could be very injurious to the person.
b. Check the oil level of the air line oiler frequently.
c. Install the air line oilers as close as possible to the tools used. The oiler will operate satisfactorily at a distance as
great as 25 feet from the pneumatic tool.
174. Operation
The air line oiler can be used to add an antifreeze solution to the air entering the tool by connecting it before the
regular oiler. This is usually necessary in extreme cold weather to keep the moisture in the air from freezing in the line or
tool.
175. Servicing
a. The tire inflating attachment, blow gun attachment and air line oilers require no servicing other than keeping them
clean and free from dirt and muck at all times. When the equipment is to be stored for any length of time brush out the
oiler with cleaning solvent and blow dry with compressed air.
b. To adjust the air line oiler for the tool being used it is necessary to operate the tool, holding the palm of the hand
over the exhaust of the tool. If the lubrication is correct, a small amount of oil will collect in the hand. If no oil is coming out
of the exhaust, adjust the needle valve inside the oiler reservoir by turning it counterclockwise. If an excess of oil appears
from the exhaust, adjust it clockwise.
