INSTALLING A HUCK-SPIN FASTENER
1. Place the Huck-Spin bolt through the work-
pieces, ensuring that it is the proper grip length
for the workpiece thicknesses to be fastened.
2. Screw a matching size Huck-Spin collar onto
the bolt threads projecting throught the work-
pieces, and hand-tighten until the flange of the
collar bears against the workpiece surface.
3. Use the handle(s) of the installation tool to
guide it toward the workpiece and locate the
tool’s nose assembly onto the end of the bolt.
(Figure 6) Do not force the tool onto the bolt!
4. While maintaining alignment of the tool’s nose
assembly with the bolt, to avoid cross-thread-
ing the nose assembly’s thimble onto the bolt,
depress and hold the tool trigger. The installa-
tion cycle will start. Except in an emergency
or difficulty, do not release the trigger until
the installation cycle is complete and the tool
is released from the installed fastener. If the
tool trigger is released before the installation
cycle is complete, the fastener may not be
properly installed and the system alarm will
sound.
NOTE: For safety reasons, whenever the trigger is
released during any phase of the installation cycle,
the tool automatically reverses and removes itself
from that fastener.
5. Visually inspect the installed fastener for com-
pleteness of swage. Compare the measured
“last pressure seen” recorded by the pressure
transducer to the desired full-swage pressure
setting. If the last pressure equals or slightly
exceeds the default setting, a correct installa-
tion should have occurred. If unsure, measure
the installed fastener with the swage gage P/N
HG-S-HS(*), or install a similar fastener into a
clamp-load measuring device, such as a skid-
more-wilhelm unit, and observe the installed
clamp reading.
KEEP HANDS
CLEAR
!
WARNING - During fastener installation, the
tool will align itself with the axis of the bolt
and will move toward the workpiece sur-
face. To avoid personal injury, keep hands
clear of all spaces between the tool and the
workpiece and between the workpieces
themselves.
