DT4600 Pneudraulic Installation Tool (HK1174)
Operating Instructions
CAUTIONS: Remove
excess gap from between
the sheets. This permits
enough pintail to emerge
from collar for ALL jaw
teeth to engage with
pintail. If ALL teeth do not
engage properly, jaws will
be damaged.
FOR SAFE OPERATION, THIS SECTION MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
Do NOT pull a fastener
with the collar upside
down.

Do NOT install a fastener without a
workpiece (structure to be fastened), a pin,
and a properly oriented collar in place.
Note: In certain situations, it may
be permissible to use a BobTail
tool and fastener without a collar
to remove sheet gap prior to full
installation with a collar. Consult
qualified Huck engineering
personnel before attempting this
operation.
LOCKBOLT® FASTENER INSTALLATION:
Place pin in work hole and place collar over pin. Hold pin
and push nose assembly onto pin protruding through
collar until nose anvil touches collar. Press trigger and hold
until collar is swaged and pintail breaks. Release trigger
and tool will go into return stroke. The tool and nose
assembly are ready for the next fastener installation cycle.
BLIND FASTENER INSTALLATION:
Fastener may be placed in work hole or in end of nose
assembly. In either case, tool and nose assembly must be
held against work and at right angles to it. Press trigger
and hold until fastener is installed and pintail breaks.
Release trigger and tool will go into return stroke. Tool and
nose assembly are ready for next fastener installation cycle.
Maintenance
GENERAL
1.Tool life and efficiency depends on proper maintenance.
Regular inspection and correction of minor problems
keeps tool operating efficiently and prevent downtime.
The tool should be serviced by personnel who are
thoroughly familiar with how it operates.
2. Service tool in a clean, well-lit area to prevent
contamination of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
3. Proper hand tools, both standard and special, must be
available.
4. All parts must be handled carefully and examined for
damage or wear. Always replace seals when tool is
disassembled for any reason. Components should be
disassembled and assembled in a straight line without
bending, cocking, or undue force.
5. Service Parts Kit DT4600KIT includes consumable parts
and should be available at all times. Other components,
as experience dictates, should also be available.
DAILY
1. If a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator unit is not being used,
uncouple air disconnects and put a few drops of ATF
or light oil into the air inlet of the tool. If the tool is in
continuous use, put a few drops of oil in every two to
three hours.
2. Bleed the air line to clear it of accumulated dirt or water
before connecting air hose to the tool.
3. Check all hoses and couplings for damage or air leaks,
tighten or replace if necessary.
4. Check the tool for damage or air/hydraulic leaks, tighten
or replace if necessary.
5. Check the nose assembly for tightness or damage,
tighten or replace if necessary.
6. Check oil level in tool reservoir, replenish if necessary.
WEEKLY
1. Disassemble and clean nose assemblies and reassemble.
2. Check the tool and all connecting parts for damage or
oil/air leaks, tighten or replace if necessary.
WARNINGS:
To avoid severe personal injury, wear approved eye and ear
protection.
Be sure of adequate clearance for operator’s hands before
proceeding with fastener installation.
Do NOT attempt to install a pin without placing the fastener and
collar in the work piece (structure to be fastened).
Do NOT attempt to install a pin without a properly oriented collar in
place.
The collar flange must be against work piece.
If these safety measures are not followed, the fastener could eject
with great velocity and cause severe personal injury.
This condition can cause pin to eject with great velocity and force if
the pintail breaks off or teeth/grooves strip. This may cause severe
personal injury.
To avoid pinch point, never place hand between nose assembly and
work piece.
Only use compatible equipment with this tool.
