So Fix it

Air drills, also called pneumatic drills, run on compressed air fed by a tube from a compressor. The drills can be used for a variety of applications, including construction, masonry, road repair and vehicle maintenance and repair. Ingersoll Rand offers several pneumatic drills for different applications. Both replacement and performance improvement parts are available for Ingersoll Rands pneumatic (air) drills.

Housing assembly

The housing assembly can be purchased for Ingersoll Rands models 7802RA and 7013RA. The housing assembly comes as a kit for either model. The part number for the 7802RA is 7802RA-A40 and the kit for the 7803RA is 7803RA-A40. The kit includes all the parts needed for the housing assembly for either pneumatic drill.

Inlet/Exhaust

The parts for the air inlet and air exhaust must be purchased as an entire kit for the models 7802RA and 7803RA. The kit includes parts such as the inlet bushing, throttle valve, and exhaust silencer. The part number for the inlet/exhaust assembly kit is 7802RA-A50.

Other parts

Other parts available for Ingersoll Rands pneumatic drills include the trigger assembly, chuck and motor. Many of the parts are sold as kits, although some, like the chuck, are sold individually. Ingersoll Rand recommends that parts for their drills only be installed by a professional as improper installation can result in personal injury.

Availablity

The parts for the drills are available from several independent sources and from Ingersoll Rand directly. Ingersoll Rands products, including the air drills, are backed by a warranty that covers repairs and parts. Tools can be registered for the warranty and warranties can be claimed on Ingersoll Rands website. In addition to replacement parts, Ingersoll Rand also offers a series of performance parts designed to upgrade their products, including the pneumatic drills.

Removing parts from your vehicle and replacing them can be a chore, especially if the vehicle is an older model and the bolts holding parts in place have become stripped or stuck in place. Using a standard wrench can prove difficult for parts located in hard-to-reach places. The Ingersoll-Rand 231C impact wrench is a machine that uses the power of compressed air to remove tough bolts from a vehicle and replace them in a secure manner.

Instructions

1

Connect the output hose from the air compressor unit to the connection on the bottom of the Ingersoll-Rand 231C wrench by screwing the connection onto the connector in a clockwise motion. Keep turning until the connection will not turn any more to ensure it is airtight and no air will be lost during operation. The air compressor should be set at 90 psi.

2

Insert the correct-size bit that corresponds to the vehicles bolts onto the connector at the tip of the power wrench. Insert the bit onto the prong and push down until it clicks into place. Use your fingers to try and turn the bit to ensure it is locked into place before using the tool.

3

Push the "R/F" switch on the back of the tool to the side that represents the direction you want the tool to rotate. "R" is for reverse and is used to remove bolts from the vehicle. "F" is for forward and is used to insert bolts.

4

Turn the power dial on the side of the tool to the proper power setting. This dial has numbers from 0 to 5, with 0 representing low power and 5 representing the highest power setting.

5

Place the end of the bit onto the bolt that you wish to remove or insert. Pull the trigger on the handle of the tool and the bit will begin to rotate in the direction that you set in Step 3 with the power that you set in Step 4.
