2012 series Pneudraulic Installation Tool (HK969)
Preparation for Use
The
2012
tool ships with a plug in the air inlet
connector. The connector has 1/4”-18 female pipe
threads to accept the air-hose fitting. Huck recommends
quick-disconnect fittings and a 1/4” inside-diameter
air hose. The air supply should have a filter-regulator-
lubricator unit and access to 90 psi (
6.2 bar
), capable of a
flow rate of 2.9 CFM (
170 l/m
).
NOTE
:
Quick-disconnect fittings and air hoses are not
available for purchase from Huck International, Inc.
Huck includes an air hose (P/N 115436) to facilitate
immediate tool use.
1.
Remove the shipping plug from air inlet connector
and add a few drops of an approved hydraulic fluid
.
2.
Screw the quick-disconnect fitting into the air inlet
connector.
3. Set the
air pressure on the regulator to
90
psi
(
6.2 bar
)
, and connect the air hose to the air inlet
connector and to the tool. Press and release the
trigger a few times to cycle the tool.
4.
Disconnect the air hose from the tool, and remove
the retaining nut. Select the proper nose assembly
for the fastener being installed.
5. Connect the air hose to the tool and install fasteners
in a test plate of proper thickness with proper size
holes. Inspect the fasteners.
If the fasteners do not pass inspection, consult the
Troubleshooting
section to investigate possible causes.
WARNINGS:
As applicable, do not use without deflectors
or pintail bottles.
If deflectors are removed or damaged,
separated pintails may eject forcibly from
rear of tool. Unshielded eyes, especially,
may be permanently injured. Other severe
injuries can be caused by flying pintails.
If there is any chance of a projectile-like
ejection, always point rear of tool in a safe
direction, or be sure there is some structure
that will stop ejecting pintails.
To avoid pinch points, be sure there is
adequate clearance for tool and operator’s
hands before proceeding. Tool moving
toward structure may crush hands or fingers
between tool and structure if clearance is
limited.
CAUTION: Do not use TEFLON
®
tape on
pipe threads. Tape can shred and break free
into fluid lines, resulting in malfunctions.
Threadmate
®
is available in a 4oz. tube from
Huck (P/N 508517).
CAUTION: Insert Pintail Tube (P/N 124448-2)
into tool ONLY when using a nose assembly
that installs either -04 or -05 size fasteners.
Jammed pintails and damage may result
if pintail tube and fastener size do not
correspond correctly.
