2024 series Pneudraulic Installation Tool (HK1077)
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.
nOTe
:
Huck tools should be serviced only by
personnel who are thoroughly familiar with its
operation.
- Service the tool in a clean, well-lighted area. Take
special care to prevent contamination of pneumatic
and hydraulic systems.
- Have available all necessary hand tools (standard and
special), a
brass drift and wood block, and a soft-jaw
vise
. See
Kits & Accessories
.
- Carefully handle all parts. Before reassembly, examine
them for damage and wear.
- Disassemble and assemble tool components in a
straight line. Do NOT bend, cock, twist, or apply undue
force.
- Have the appropriate
Spare Parts Service Kit
(
2024KIT
or
2024lVKIT
) available when servicing
the tool; it includes important perishable parts. Other
components, as experience dictates, should also be
available. See
Kits & Accessories
.

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.
WeeKly
- Disassemble, clean, and re-assemble nose assembly in
accordance with applicable instructions
.
- Check the tool and all connecting parts for damage
and
fluid/air leaks; tighten or replace if necessary
.
Maintenance
CAUTIOn: replace all seals, wipers, and
rings when the tool is disassembled for any
reason, and at regular intervals, depending
on severity and duration of use.
CAUTIOn: Do not use TeFlOn
®
tape on
pipe threads. Tape can shred and break free
into fluid lines, resulting in malfunctions.
Threadmate
®
is available in a 4oz. tube
from Huck (P/n 508517).
CAUTIOn: Damaged jaw teeth, or debris
packed between teeth, will result in
fastener not being installed or being
improperly installed.
