4. Setup

Before operating the Ingersoll Rand 2235QXPA, ensure proper setup of your air supply system.

4.1 Air Supply Requirements

  • Air Pressure: The tool operates optimally within a specified air pressure range. Refer to the tool's label or technical data for the exact recommended operating pressure (typically 90 psi / 6.2 bar).
  • Air Hose: Use an air hose with an adequate internal diameter to ensure sufficient airflow to the tool. An undersized hose can restrict performance.
  • Air Compressor: Ensure your air compressor can provide the required CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) at the recommended pressure for continuous operation.
  • Air Filter/Lubricator: Install an air filter to remove moisture and debris from the air supply. A lubricator is recommended to provide continuous lubrication to the tool's internal components.

4.2 Connecting the Tool

  1. Ensure the air compressor is turned off and the air line is depressurized.
  2. Apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet of the impact wrench.
  3. Attach a quick-connect coupler to the air inlet of the tool.
  4. Connect the air hose from your air supply system to the quick-connect coupler on the tool.
  5. Turn on the air compressor and adjust the regulator to the recommended operating pressure.
