Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the overhaul kit is crucial for tool performance and safety. Follow these general steps, always referring to your specific tool's service manual for detailed instructions.
- Safety First: Disconnect the nailer or stapler from its air supply or power source before beginning any work. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses.
- Preparation: Clear a clean, well-lit workspace. Gather necessary tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and a small pick tool (often helpful for O-ring removal/installation).
- Disassembly: Carefully disassemble your tool according to its specific service manual. Pay close attention to the order and orientation of all existing components, especially springs, washers, and O-rings. Taking photos during disassembly can be helpful.
- Component Replacement: Remove all old, worn, or damaged O-rings, seals, and gaskets. Clean the internal surfaces thoroughly. Replace them with the new components from the 903754 kit. Apply a thin, even layer of the provided or manufacturer-recommended lubricant to each new O-ring before installation. This ensures proper sealing and prevents damage during assembly.
- Reassembly: Reassemble the tool in reverse order of disassembly. Ensure all parts are correctly seated and aligned. Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.
- Testing: After reassembly, connect the tool to an air supply and perform a functional test. Check for any air leaks and ensure the tool operates smoothly and correctly before putting it into service.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance using genuine replacement parts like the 903754 Overhaul Kit extends the life and efficiency of your PORTER-CABLE tool.
- Periodic Inspection: Routinely inspect your tool's internal components for signs of wear, cracking, or hardening of O-rings and seals.
- Lubrication: Use only lubricants specifically designed for pneumatic tools. Incorrect lubricants can damage seals and internal components.
- Storage: Store your tool in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the overhaul kit, consider the following:
- Persistent Air Leaks:
- Re-check all installed O-rings and seals for proper seating, damage, or incorrect size.
- Ensure all housing screws are tightened evenly and to the correct torque.
- Verify that the correct O-rings were used for each specific location as per the tool's diagram.
- Tool Malfunction (e.g., not firing, weak firing):
- Confirm that all internal components, especially springs and valves, are installed in the correct order and orientation.
- Ensure no debris or foreign objects are obstructing internal mechanisms.
- Refer to your tool's exploded parts diagram for precise component placement.
If problems persist, it is recommended to consult a qualified service technician or contact PORTER-CABLE customer support.
