AIR SUPPLY



The rivet tool is powered by compressed air at an optimum pressure of 85 psi.

Do not exceed 90 PSI of air pressure. Explosion and harm to operators can result.



The use of a pressure regulator filter/lubricator unit within 3 meters of the tool is highly recommended to extend the life of the tool.

Dirt and/or water in the air supply can seriously impact the performance and durability of the tool; damage to the tool caused by contaminated air supply is not covered under warranty.

AW CLEANING PROCEDURE

/

JAMMED GUN REMEDY

1. Disconnect tool from air supply

2. Leaving the nose piece attached, remove the nose case 3 using the wrench provided by loosening at the wrench point.

3. Fit two wrenches, one on Jaw Case 05 and the other on 11 keeping the nut 11 stationary while unscrewing the jaw casing 05. It is important that you only unscrew the nut closest to the jaws (jaw casing) 05. DO NUT ADJUST SET NUT 13. See Fig. 5

4. Take care during removal as this jaw casing is spring loaded and contains 3 small jaws 06, a jaw pusher

07, washer 08, and a spring 09. Do not lose these pieces. Inspect 06, 07, 08, 09 for wear, cracks or damage. Replace as necessary.

5. Once removed if a mandrel has jammed the tool, dislodge the mandrel from the jaws, discard mandrel.

6. Clean Jaws 06 with a mineral spirit then and coat outside of jaws (outside only) with a drop of clean oil or a light layer of red / white grease . Be sure to coat the outside of the jaws only.

See Fig. 6. Oil is preferred.

7. Replace jaws into jaw case 05.

8. Followed by jaw pusher 07, and spring 09, if necessary.

9. Re-apply jaw case 05 securely onto 11 using a wrench keeping 11 stationary..

10. Reapply the nose case 03 securely to the tool

11. Reattach air supply. Actuate tool without rivet. Check Function.

AINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY OR SWITCH OFF AT VALVE (54).

REMOVE NOSE ASSEMBLY OR SWIVEL HEAD COMPONENTS. All operations should be carried out on a clean bench, with clean hands in a clean area. Ensure that the new oil is perfectly clean and free from air bubbles. Care MUST be taken at all times, to ensure that no foreign matter enters the tool, or serious damage may result.

Oil Priming

After 100,000 cycles, or when the tool loses enough stroke and/or power to place rivets in one actuation, a priming procedure may be required. Please use the oil provided with the tool.

Replacements are available at 1-800-BUY-RIVET.

Do not remove the bleed screw unless you have extensive knowledge in the maintenance of hydraulic tools.

- The bleed screw IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT.

- Removal of the bleed screw WILL NOT FIX A JAMED GUN.

- If the bleed screw is loosed, even slightly, oil will leak out of the tool which may create an air bubble in hydraulic system causing loss of stroke and stroke cavitation.

- If the bleed screw is loosed or the oil priming procedure is attempted without proper training, the tool will need to be returned to the service center for maintenance and a labor fee may be charged.

Oil Priming Procedure (For trained personnel only! See above!)



Disconnect air supply to tool and switch ON/OFF valve (54) to OFF position.



Remove bleed screw(76) and seal(75).(see Fig 7)



Fill the syringe(priming pump) with oil and screw it into the bleed screw hole. Actuate the pump be pressing down and releasing several times until resistance is felt. Overfilling the tool with oil and actuating it may result in hydraulic body fractures. (see Fig 8)



Remove the priming pump and the excessive oil will flow out. Then clean out the excessive oil and replace the bleed screw and seal.

Valve Spool Assembly Maintenance



Send into authorized repair center for service.

Trigger Maintenance Procedure



Inspect trigger pin valve by insuring 35 has not come loose. The proper depth should be just under the valve stem.



If adjustment is necessary using a fork wrench or tire valve tool, screw the trigger pin 34 into the valve stem. A very small amount of loctite243 is ok around the threaded portion only.



If the trigger still fails, remove the trigger pin assembly from the valve stem and inspect the seal around the trigger pin for damage. If damaged, purchase a replacement part. Reassemble according to the previous step.

AINTENANCE

In order to maintain the tool in a safe working order it is important to carry out regular maintenance as prescribed by the manufacturer. A thorough inspection replacement of all seals within the tool should be carried out after 500,000 actuations or annually, whichever is the sooner. Seal Life is dependent on the size of the rivet applied, the frequency of use in one minute, the cleanliness of the tool, proper maintenance within the time interval suggested and total number of actuations. The seal life is a limited warranty item and should only be replaced by trained personnel. Item numbers in parentheses refer to assembly drawing part numbers

Daily



Check for air leaks. Any damaged hoses should be replaced



Lubricate the tool by pouring a 1 drop of the enclosed lubricating oil into the air inlet on the tool



If there is no pressure regulator, bleed the airline to clear it of accumulated dirt or water before connecting the air hose to the tool. If there is a filter, drain it.



Check for proper nose piece use depending on the size of the rivet.



Remove front jaw nose assembly and clean all visible areas beneath the Nose Cap (3) with an air hose to remove metal shavings and debris. Remove jaw housing as necessary and consumable parts thoroughly with mineral spirits. Inspect for cracks or other damage to jaw or nose area. Replace if necessary.



Insure that rotary valve for the vacuum on the mandrel collection unit is correctly adjusted for fastener retention

Weekly



Carry out procedures as per daily maintenance instructions above



Clean and inspect the jaws for signs of damage or wear (groove running through the jaw serrations).

Follow the instructions on page 4 for cleaning of jaws. Reassemble the tail jaws with a light coating of red grease on the outer face that contacts the jaw housing. Do not allow grease to contaminate the grooved inner face of the jaws as mandrel slippage may result.

Monthly



Carry out procedures as per weekly maintenance instructions above



Check and replace cylinder bodies if there are signs of damage or cracks.

Semi-Annually



Carry out procedures as per monthly maintenance instructions above



Check that the stroke is greater than 1.0”. If less, follow bleeding procedure.



Depending on the frequency of use, further maintenance may be required to replace the hydraulic seals.
