HYDRAULIC FLUID:
Hydraulic fluid shall meet DEXRON
®
III, DEXRON VI, MERCON®
, Allison C-4 or equivalent
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) specifications. Fire-
resistant fluid may be used if it is an ester-based fluid
such as Quintolubric®
HFD or equivalent. Water-based
fluid shall NOT be used as serious damage to equipment
will occur.
PULL STROKE
When the trigger is pressed, the throttle
valve moves down to the PULL position,
and pressurized air is directed to the
bottom of the air piston, causing it to
move upward (as shown above). The
air above the air piston is exhausted
and directed through the center of the
throttle valve and out the bottom of the
tool. As the hydraulic piston rod moves
upward, a column of fluid is forced
into head, which moves the pull piston
rearward. The attached nose assembly
moves with the pull piston to start
fastener installation.
RETURN STROKE
When fastener installation is completed,
the trigger is released. Air pressure,
with the assistance of a spring, sends
the throttle valve to the up (RETURN)
position. Pressurized air is re-directed
to the top of the air piston (see above),
causing the air piston and hydraulic rod
to move downward. The air from below
the piston is exhausted through the
bottom of the tool, and springs force
the pull piston to return to its home
position. The damper valve impedes oil
flow at pin break to prevent “tool kick.”
