POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
• Make sure the nose of the Power Set Rivet Driver is
vertical with the guide block, and the contact arm
mechanism is fully engaged, and properly seated into the
drive block hole.
If the contact arm mechanism is not fully
engaged, the Power Set Rivet Driver will not fire.
• Is your trigger lock dial broken?
If your trigger lock is
broken, it can prevent the trigger from activating and
prevent the driver from firing.
• Check the contact arm mechanism and components for
dirt or debris
. Use an air hose to blow out if needed.
• Do you have the right amount of air pressure?
The Power
Set Rivet Driver requires 60-120 PSI (4-8 Bar) to operate
effectively.
• Do you have the right fitting(s) on your hose?
We
recommend a 3/8” fitting. If you have modified your fittings
and downsized the opening below 3/8”, the Power Set Rivet
Driver may not get enough air pressure to operate properly.
• Is your air source sized properly?
The Power Set Rivet
Driver requires 9 SCFM to fire two shots per second. Two
Power Set Rivet Drivers coming off the Tee-fitting requires
18 SCFM to fire two shots per second.
• Is your air line blocked?
Check your hose(s) and fitting(s)
to see that you have air flow. If you do not have good airflow
to your Power Set Rivet Driver, you may have a blockage in
your Power Set Rivet Driver pneumatic fitting on the grip, or
you may have blockage in the internal part of the driver.
Send your Power Set Rivet Driver in for repair.
• Does your regulator filter need to be changed?
Check
your regulator filter. The filter and filter bowl may be dirty
resulting in air restriction. Clean your filter and filter bowl.
Also check to make sure lubrication oil has not leaked into
the filter housing. This can result in significant air restriction.
This regulator uses a Parker No. PS901 filter or equivalent.
• Do you have an old air hose?
Check your air hose. As air
hoses age, they soften and expand when pressurized resulting
in a drop in air hose line pressure. Also check for hose breaks
and cracks around hose fitting(s).
• Are you connected (from your air assembly unit) by an
air hose that is over 25 feet in length?
The longer the air
hose is from the Power Set Rivet Driver to the air assembly
unit, the greater the drop in SCFM. For maximum driver
performance, do not use a hose from the driver to the air
assembly unit that is over 25 feet in length, and use a hose
that meets the hose specifications on page 6.
• Do you have oil in the air regulator oiler?
Before using
your Power Set Rivet Driver, always check the oil level gauge.
Operating the Power Set Rivet Driver without the proper
lubrication or level of lubrication in your oiler for an
extended period of time can result in damage to the Power
Set Rivet Driver o-ring seals, and can result in damage to the
air piston walls. This can cause your Power Set drive rod to
return slowly because the air piston walls have become
scoured.
Note:
Operating the Power Set Tool without lubricant or
with lubricants other than those specified here will void the
warranty.
• Do you have the right lubricant (oil) in your air regulator
oiler?
Using the wrong lubricant in your regulator oiler can
gum up the small air orifices in the Power Set Rivet Driver
restricting air flow, and could possibly cause chemical
deterioration of the o-ring seals, resulting in air leaks and loss
of Power Set Rivet Driver force. Use Parker Hannifin F442
oil or equivalent. Never use oils with additives, graphite or
solvents. Using these oils will damage your Power Set Driver
o-ring seals.
