MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY OR SWITCH OFF AT VALVE (54).
REMOVE NOSE ASSEMBLY OR SWIVEL HEAD COMPONENTS. All operations should be carried out on
a clean bench, with clean hands in a clean area. Ensure that the new oil is perfectly clean and free
from air bubbles. Care MUST be taken at all times, to ensure that no foreign matter enters the tool,
or serious damage may result.
Oil Priming
After 100,000 cycles, or when the tool loses enough stroke and/or power to place rivets in one
actuation, a priming procedure may be required. Please use the oil provided with the tool.
Replacements are available at 1-800-BUY-RIVET.
Do not remove the bleed screw unless you have extensive
knowledge in the maintenance of hydraulic tools.
- The bleed screw IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT.
- Removal of the bleed screw WILL NOT FIX A JAMED GUN.
- If the bleed screw is loosed, even slightly, oil will leak out of the tool which may
create an air bubble in hydraulic system causing loss of stroke and stroke cavitation.
- If the bleed screw is loosed or the oil priming procedure is attempted without
proper training, the tool will need to be returned to the service center for
maintenance and a labor fee may be charged.
Oil Priming Procedure (For trained personnel only! See above!)
 Disconnect air supply to tool and switch ON/OFF valve (54) to OFF position.
 Remove bleed screw(76) and seal(75).(see Fig 7)
 Fill the syringe(priming pump) with oil and screw it into the bleed screw hole. Actuate the
pump be pressing down and releasing several times until resistance is felt. Overfilling the
tool with oil and actuating it may result in hydraulic body fractures. (see Fig 8)
 Remove the priming pump and the excessive oil will flow out. Then clean out the excessive oil
and replace the bleed screw and seal.
