DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING SERVICE. SERVICE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED PERSONNEL.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1.

It is recommended to wear eye protection when operating the tool.

2.

To avoid injury do not point the tool at anyone.

3.

Do not exceed recommended maximum air pressure (5.5 bar, 80psi).

4.

Disconnect the tool from the air supply when not in use for an extended period of time or before proceeding with any maintenance procedures. Take care to control air hoses when disconnecting to prevent whipping.

5.

Do not attempt to operate the tool with the Nose Housing removed. This exposes potential pinch points and could result in injury.

6.

Do not tamper with Fill Screw. Loosened screws may result in malfunction or injury due to air or hydraulic pressure.

7.

Do not operate the tool without either the deflector (PRT Option) or the collector (MCS Option) installed on the tool. Spent rivet mandrels may be forcefully ejected.

8.

Always clear the tool of spent rivet mandrels before setting a new fastener. Failure to do so may result in tool jams or forceful ejection of spent mandrels.

9.

Use caution when operating the tool, compressed air is released through the front of the Intensifier Chamber. Do not direct exhaust towards anyone.

10.

Inspect the tool at regular intervals for damage and proper function. Replace damaged parts immediately.

Do not connect a damaged tool to an air supply.

11.

Use only genuine POP® brand replacement parts.

THEORY OF OPERATION

When connected to an air supply and the trigger operated, pressurized air pushes the Air Piston / Ram Assembly. The Ram Assembly forces hydraulic fluid from the reservoir in the handle into the main bore where it pushes the hydraulic piston and the attached pulling mechanism rearward. As the Pulling Jaws move towards the rear, they grip the rivet mandrel and set the rivet.

Releasing the trigger enables the return spring to push the hydraulic piston forward to the starting position. The hydraulic fluid is forced back returning the Ram Assembly and Air Piston to the starting position. The compressed air used to set the rivet is exhausted through the front of the Intensifier Chamber. The hydraulic piston is fully returned, the broken rivet mandrel is released as the Jaws are forced open again by the Nosepiece.

If the tool is equipped with a Mandrel Collection System (MCS models) the mandrel will be drawn out of the tool and deposited in the Collector Bottle, which should be emptied every 100 mandrels.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION CAUTION: Do not connect to air supply until all tool parts are properly installed.

It is recommended to wear eye protection when operating this tool.

II.1

AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS Use a dry, filtered air supply regulated to 4.5-5.5bar (65-80psi). It is not necessary to lubricate the air supply. Excess oil, water or debris in the air supply will necessitate more frequent tool service and significantly reduce the operating efficiency of the Mandrel Collection System.

II.2

TOOL CAPABILITY

1.

Select the appropriate Nosepiece from the chart below. The PRT4000 and MCS4000 tools are assembled with Nosepiece PRN414 (01) suitable for 3.2mm (1/8”) rivets.

To set 2.4mm (3/32”) rivets replace the installed Nosepiece PRN414 (01) with PRN314 (02) supplied in carton.

To set 2.0mm (5/64”) Open or 3.2mm (1/8”) Closed End rivets, additional components are needed.

8.

9.

10.

Place the tool in a soft-jawed vice, gripping the tool in the centre of the handle.

For Nosepieces PRN 314, PRN 414 and PRN 424, simply remove the Nosepiece fitted, replace with the required Nosepiece, and tighten.

For 2mm ‘Micro’ rivets remove the installed Nosepiece and Nose Housing (03).

Remove the Jaw Guide (04), Jaws (05) and Jaw Pusher (06).

Install the correct Jaw Pusher (06).

Install the correct Jaws (05).

Re-install the Jaw Guide (04) and tighten.

Replace the Nose Housing (03) and tighten.

Install correct Nosepiece and tighten.

OPERATION

1.

2.

3.

Attach tool to suitable air supply.

Ensure the deflector (36) – PRT4000, or collector (106) – MCS4000, is in place before operating tool.

Insert a rivet mandrel into the Nosepiece. If the tool is equipped with a Mandrel Collection System (MCS4000) the rivet will be held in the tool by vacuum.

Position rivet into work piece.

Squeeze the trigger (27) to set the rivet. Once the rivet is set, release the trigger. If using a PRT4000 be sure to clear the mandrel from the tool by tipping the tool to let the mandrel slide either out of the front or out of the back of the tool. If using the MCS4000, the mandrel will be automatically extracted into the Mandrel Collector Bottle, which should be emptied every 100 mandrels.

5.

CAUTION:

Read the Operator Instruction Leaflet before operating the tool.

SERVICE PROCEDURES

III.1

SERVICING THE JAWS, JAW PUSHER AND JAW PUSHER SPRING Regular cleaning of the Jaws and front-end parts will prevent mandrels sticking in the Jaws and extend the Jaw life.

Procedure 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

III.2

Disassemble the tool front end as described in Section II.3. Clean Jaws (05) using a brush and solvent. If jaw teeth show significant wear replace both jaws.

Check Jaw Pusher Spring (07) for fatigue. A new spring measures 54mm (2 1/8” ) in length. Replace spring if shorter than 46mm (1 7/8”).

Thoroughly clean the inside of the Jaw Guide (04), Nose Housing (03), the Jaw Pusher (06) and wipe out debris from around other exposed parts.

Lightly oil Jaws (05) and Jaw Pusher (06) before reassembling.

Reassemble parts in reverse order. Ensure Jaw Guide (04), Nose Housing (03) and Nosepiece (01) are tightened.

REPLENISHMENT OF HYDRAULIC FLUID A shortened stroke indicates minor hydraulic fluid loss. Hydraulic fluid can be replaced without fully disassembling the tool.

CAUTION:

The tool must be disconnected from the air supply before attempting to replenish hydraulic fluid.

Procedure 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Place the tool, inverted, in a soft-jaw vice, with the Chamber (52) pointing up.

Remove Chamber Cap (53) with the Cap Spanner (PRT4000-34) provided.

Remove the Air Piston Assembly (51) from the Chamber.

Add oil into the bore at the base of the Chamber, inside the tool handle. Fill to approximately 8mm from the top of the bore. (For oil specification see page 7).

Temporarily replace Air Piston Assembly (51). Pump the Air Piston 2 – 3 times into the bore to remove air bubbles.

Remove Air Piston Assembly once more. Re-check oil level. If the oil level is lower, repeat the above procedure until a satisfactory oil level is achieved.

When the oil level is correct, replace Air Piston Assembly (51) and push firmly into place. Replace Chamber Cap (53) and tighten.

Rotate tool into an upright position in the vice (chamber at bottom).

-4-

9.

10.

11.

Loosen Fill Screw (16) with 5mm Hex wrench (PRM530-49) provided, to remove excess oil and air bubbles.

After the excess oil and air has been removed, tighten Fill Screw (16) using Hex wrench provided.

Reconnect to Air Supply.

CAUTION:

Do not depress the trigger when Fill Screw (16) is loose. This will cause oil to be forced out under great pressure.

If oil loss is rapid or excessive refer to Section IV of this manual for seal replacement procedures
