2022 and ERT9 series Pneudraulic Installation Tools (HK1021)
Preparation for Use
WARnInGS:
As applicable, do NOT use without deflectors
or pintail bottles.
If deflectors are removed or damaged,
separated pintails may eject forcibly from
rear of tool. Unshielded eyes, especially, may
be permanently injured. Other severe injuries
can be caused by flying pintails. If there
is any chance of a projectile-like ejection,
always point rear of tool in a safe direction,
or be sure there is some structure that will
stop ejecting pintails.
WARnInG: To avoid pinch points, be sure
there is adequate clearance for tool and
operator’s hands before proceeding. Tool
moving toward structure may crush hands
or fingers between tool and structure if
clearance is limited.
The 2022 and ERT9 tools ship with a plug in the air
inlet connector. The connector has 1/4”-18 female
pipe threads to accept the air-hose fitting. Huck
recommends quick-disconnect fittings and a 1/4”
inside-diameter air hose. The air supply should have
a filter-regulator-lubricator unit and access to 90 psi
(
6.2 bar
), capable of a flow rate of 8.5 CFM (
241 l/m
).
nOTE:
Quick-disconnect
fittings and air hoses are
not available for purchase from Huck International,
Inc. Huck includes an air hose (P/N 115436) to
facilitate immediate tool use.
1. Remove the shipping plug from air inlet
connector and add a few drops of an approved
hydraulic fluid
.
2. Apply Parker Threadmate
®
, loctite
®
567, or Slic-
Tite
®
(per manufacturer’s instructions) to quick-
disconnect fittings; s
crew the quick-disconnect
fitting into the air inlet connector
.
3. Set the air pressure on the regulator to 90 psi
(
6.2 bar
), and connect the air hose to the air inlet
connector and the tool.
4. Press and release the trigger a few times to cycle
the tool.
5. Disconnect the air hose from the tool, and
remove the retaining nut. Select the proper nose
assembly for the fastener being installed.
6. Screw the collet assembly (including the lock
collar and shim if applicable) onto the spindle
and tighten with a wrench.
7. Slide the anvil over the collet assembly and into
the counterbore. Slide the retaining nut over the
anvil, and screw the nut onto the head.
nOTE:
The retaining nut is not required for the
ERT9 tool.
8. Connect the air hose to the tool and install
fasteners in a test plate of proper thickness with
proper size holes. Inspect the fasteners.
If the fasteners do not pass inspection, consult the
Troubleshooting
section to investigate possible
causes.
nOTE:
On older nose assemblies with lock collars,
use Loctite
®
243™ on collet threads, because the
2022 pull piston does not have staking holes. Refer
to the nose assembly drawings that shipped with
nose assemblies.
