2024 series Pneudraulic Installation Tool (HK1077)
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.
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
2024
series of 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
).

:
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.

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.

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.
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 2024
pull piston does not have staking holes. refer to
the nose assembly drawings that shipped with nose
assemblies.
CAUTIOn: Do not use TeFlOn
®
tape on pipe threads. Tape can
shred and break free into fluid lines, resulting in malfunctions.
