4. AIR SUPPLY
4.1.
AIR SUPPLY
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the riveter. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.1.
Ensure the riveter air valve (or trigger) is not depressed before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2.
You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
4.1.3.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the riveter and invalidate your warranty.
4.1.4.
Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
4.1.5.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
4.1.6.
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.7.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2.
COUPLINGS
4.2.1.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air drill. To overcome this, connect a leader hose -
Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 - to the riveter. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line recoil hose. See figs.1 & 2.
5. OPERATION
WARNING!
Ensure you have read, understood and apply the safety instructions. This Tool is designed for riveting metal, primarily in
workshops and garages. We do not recommend any other use.
5.1.
FILLING WITH HYDRAULIC OIL
(Check each time before use).
5.1.1.
Disconnect the tool from the air line.
5.1.2.
Hold the tool upside-down and remove the air cylinder cap with a spanner.
5.1.3.
Remove piston set.
5.1.4.
Pump hydraulic oil into hydraulic cylinder until it overflows from the cylinder neck, (fig 3) and wipe any excess oil away with a dry cloth.
5.1.5.
Insert hydraulic plunger into cylinder and press it in slightly.
5.1.6.
Reverse above procedure to reassemble. Slightly lubricate the inside wall of the air cylinder.
5.2.
ADJUSTING THE STROKE
5.2.1.
Check that the hydraulic level is at its maximum (see 4.1).
5.2.2.
Check the jaw stroke by using the supplied wrench/gauge as in figure 4, and adjust if necessary (there is a 5mm tolerance).
5.2.3.
Hold the jaw case in place with a spanner and loosen the lock nut with the spanner gauge supplied. Adjust the distance between them
as required.
5.2.4.
Tighten the lock nut when adjustment is complete.
5.3.
CHANGING JAWS
5.3.1.
Disconnect the tool from the air line.
5.3.2.
Use a spanner to remove the frame head.
5.3.3.
Use both spanners to unscrew the jaw case.
5.3.4.
Remove the jaws and clean with solvent or a brush. If the teeth are blunted, replace with new jaws. Use genuine Sealey jaws only.
5.3.5.
Reverse the above procedure to reassemble.
5.4.
OPERATION
5.4.1.
Be sure to select the correct nosepiece and rivet for the job.
5.4.2.
Insert the rivet into the nosepiece.
5.4.3.
Direct the nosepiece at the pre-drilled hole and squeeze the trigger.
