Maintenance
WARNING: Inspect tool for damage and
wear before each use. Do not operate if
damaged or worn; severe personal injury
could result.
GENERAL
The operating efficiency of a tool is directly related to
the performance of the entire system. Regular inspection
and immediate correction of minor problems will keep
the tool operating efficiently and prevent downtime. A
schedule of preventive maintenance of the tool, nose
assembly, hoses, trigger and control cord, and Powerig
will ensure a tool’s proper operation and extend its
life.
NOTE: HUCK tools should be serviced only by
personnel who are thoroughly familiar with its
operation.
Service the tool in a clean, well-lighted area. Take
special care to prevent contamination of pneumatic
and hydraulic systems.
Have available all necessary hand tools—standard
and special.
Carefully handle all parts. Before reassembly,
examine them for damage and wear. Always replace
seals when a tool is disassembled.
Disassemble and assemble tool components in a
straight line. Do NOT bend, cock, twist, or apply
undue force.
Have the appropriate
Service Parts Kit
(
255KIT
)
available when servicing the tool; it includes
important consumable parts. Other components, as
experience dictates, should also be available.
DAILY
If a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator unit is not being used,
uncouple the air disconnects and add a few drops
of hydraulic fluid or a light-weight oil to the air inlet
of the tool.
NOTE: If the tool is in continuous use,
add a few drops of oil in every 2–3 hours.
Before connecting an air hose to the tool, bleed the
air lines to clear dirt or water.
Check all hoses and couplings for damage and air
leaks; tighten or replace if necessary.
Check the tool for damage and air or hydraulic leaks;
tighten, repair, or replace if necessary.
Check the nose assembly for tightness and damage;
tighten or replace if necessary.
Periodically, check the tool stroke. If the stroke
is short, add fluid. For more information, see
Measuring Tool Stroke
.
WEEKLY
Disassemble, clean, and reassemble nose assembly in
accordance with applicable instructions
.
Check the tool and all connecting parts for damage
and
fluid/air leaks; tighten or replace if necessary

CAUTIONS:
Replace all seals, wipers, and rings when the
tool is disassembled for any reason, and at
regular intervals, depending on severity and
length of use.
