GEnERAl
The operating efficiency of your tool is directly related
to the performance of the entire system. Regular
inspection and the immediate correction of minor
problems will keep the tool operating efficiently,
and prevent downtime. A schedule of “preventive”
maintenance of the tool, nose assembly, hoses, trigger
and control cord, and POWERIG
®
will ensure your
tool’s proper operation and extend its life.

DAIly
• Huck recommends using a filter-regulator-
lubricator unit. If one is not being used, uncouple
the air disconnects and add a few drops of
hydraulic fluid or a light-weight oil to the air inlet
of the tool.
nOTE:
If the tool is in continuous use, add a few
drops of fluid every 2–3 hours.
•
Before connecting an air hose to the tool, clear the
air lines of dirt and water.
•
Check all hoses and couplings for damage and air
leaks; tighten or replace if necessary.
•
Check the tool and nose assembly for damage and
air or hydraulic leaks; tighten, repair, or replace if
necessary.
•
Inspect the tool, hoses, and POWERIG during
operation to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or
vibration.
•
Clean nose assemblies in mineral spirits to clear
jaws and rinse metal chips and dirt. For a more
thorough cleaning, disassemble the nose assembly.
Use a pointed “pick” to remove imbedded particles
from the pull grooves of the jaws.
Clean all parts of any assembly with UnITIzED
TM
jaws in mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol only; do
not let jaws come in contact with other solvents.
Do not let jaws soak; dry them
immediately
after
cleaning. Huck recommends drying other parts
before re-assembling.
