TO RE-ASSEMBLE

 

1.

 

Assemble one side of the o-ring support assembly (#9, #10, 
#11, #12, #13, #12, and #11) on spacer (#14).  The chamfer 
on both washers (#10) should be installed, with chamfer 
side against cap screw head (#9). 

2.

 

Hold tool vertically and install o-ring support assembly with 
spacer into bushing from the top. 

3.

 

Holding cap screw with an Allen wrench, bring second o-
ring support assembly (mounted on screw (#9)) in from the 
opposite side and complete valve assembly.  The valve 
should have free motion of travel of about 3/32” 
[.09”(2.3mm)]. 

4.

 

Insert valve spring locator and spring (#8 and #7) into the 
rear of the valve. 

5.

 

Screw rear valve seat with lubricated o-ring (#5 and #6) into 
rear of the valve port. 

6.

 

Insert throttle stem (#47) into front valve seat (#48) and 
slowly screw front valve seat with lubricated o-ring (#6) 
into front of the valve port.  (See Throttle Valve 
Adjustment). 

7.

 

Assemble piston stop spacer assembly (#26), piston (#24), 
piston rod (#43) and nylock nut (#23) together.  Be careful 
not to damage o-ring (#21) when pushing stop spacer onto 
piston rod, use lubrication.  Place piston so that the 
extended neck is opposite the nylock nut. Nylock nut at rear 
of piston must be Loctited into place (Loctite #242 or 
equivalent). Place o-ring (#22) onto piston. 

8.

 

Mount feeder blade (#40) and two roller pins (#42) on 
piston rod (#43). 

9.

 

Place (4) rollers (#39) on the (2) roller pins (#42).  
Lubrication will hold the rollers in place while assembling 
the rest of the tool. 

10.

 

Mount latch (#38) onto side plate (#28R) with latch pin clip 
(#36). 

11.

 

Assemble trigger, (2) spacers and trigger guard (#44, #33 
and #49) to the side plates with (3) roll pins (#45). 

12.

 

Mount side plate assembly (#28R, #28L, #44, #33 and #49) 
over stop spacer assembly. 

13.

 

Place cylinder gasket (#25) between the stop spacer and the 
housing.   

14.

 

Insert front end assembly into the cylinder housing.  Be 
careful not to damage o-ring (#22) when pushing piston into 
the cylinder bore, use lubrication. 

15.

 

Secure front end assembly with (4) lock washers and cap 
screws (#29 and #30). 

16.

 

Leave trigger guard loose for adjusting the valve.  See 
throttle valve adjustment procedure for proper valve 
adjustment instructions. 

17.

 

Mount feeder arm (#65) onto the studs at rear of the 
cylinder housing with two nylock nuts (#72). 

18.

 

Place spring bracket assembly (#58) between magazine 
assembly (#62) and side plate (#28L). If unassembled see 
Pusher Spring Installation Procedure. 

19.

 

Attach the magazine assembly (#62) to the feeder arm (#65) 
with lock washer and button head cap screw (#66 and #67).  
But do 

not

 tighten completely. 

20.

 

Place jaws (#31 and #41) between the side plates (#28R and 
#28L). 

21.

 

Install (2) jaw bushings (#32) through side plate, jaws and 
side plate (#28R, #31, #41 and #28L).  Lubricate both jaws 
and bushings before installing them. 

22.

 

Place (1) .030” magazine shim (#60A) and (1) .010” 
magazine shim (#60C) under the foot of magazine (#62), 
between magazine and side plate.  Other shims may be 
added or subtracted to get the proper drop in the magazine 
shoe (See Installation Procedure/Adjustments). 

23.

 

Insert (2) jaw bolts (#61) through magazine, shims, spring 
spool bracket, side plate, jaw bushing, side plate, latch 
spring (#37), support plate (#68) and (2) washers (#34).  
Secure jaw bolts with (2) nylock nuts (#35).  Do not over 
tighten jaw bolts, jaws must still pivot freely. 

24.

 

Tighten button head cap screw (#67) 

25.

 

After all adjustments to the tool are made, the trigger guard 
is secured with button head screw and washer (#51 and 
#50). 

 

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE / ADJUSTMENTS 
Magazine 

1.

 

Before tightening jaw bolts (#61), insert approximately 
.040” of shims. 

2.

 

Tighten bolts and check shoe (#70) for proper fit.  Shoe 
should have approximately .020”(.50mm) float up and 
down. 

3.

 

When shimmed correctly, and with the feeder blade in the 
forward position, the shoe will be approximately in the 
center of the available amount of travel. 

4.

 

Cycle tool and check for proper closure of ring.  If feeder 
blade hits rear of shoe, add another shim.  Shims (#60A & 
B) are available in two thickness’ of .030”(.762mm) and 
.010”(.25mm). 

5.

 

When the tool is completely re-assembled, check to insure 
that magazine (#62) is parallel to housing (#17).
