Recycle steel, aluminum, and plastic parts in accordance
with local lawful and safe practices.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
For supplementary information, see TROUBLESHOOTING,
the DISASSEMBLY and ASSEMBLY procedures, and the
ASSEMBLY DRAWING in this manual.
SYSTEM INSPECTION
The operating efficiency of your tool is directly related
to performance of the entire system, including the tool
and nose assembly, hydraulic hoses, control trigger
assembly, and the POWERIG Hydraulic Unit. Therefore,
an effective preventive maintenance program includes
scheduled inspections of the system to detect and
correct minor troubles.
- Inspect the tool and nose daily for damage and wear.
Inspect the tool before each use for leaks.
- Verify that hydraulic hoses, fittings, couplings, and
electrical connections are secure, and free of leaks
and damage. (Replace hoses at six-month to one-year
intervals, depending on use.) Clear air-lines of dirt and
water.
- Inspect tool, hoses, and POWERIG during operation
to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or vibration.
- Service the tool in a clean, well-lighted area. Take
special care to prevent contamination of pneumatic
and hydraulic systems.
- Carefully handle all parts and components. Before
reassembly, examine for damage and wear; replace
when necessary.
- Have available all necessary hand tools (standard and
special); a half-inch brass drift and wood block; arbor
press; and soft-jaw vise. Unsuitable hand tools could
cause tool damage.
- Follow the disassembly and assembly procedures in
this manual. If Huck recommended procedures are
not followed, the tool could be damaged.
- Disassemble and assemble tool components in a
straight line. Do NOT bend, twist, or apply undue
force. Never force a component if it is misaligned;
reverse the procedure to correct the misalignment and
start again.
- Apply continuous steady pressure to components.
An arbor press provides steady pressure to press a
component into or out of an assembly.
- Apply Parker Threadmate®, Loctite®567, or Slic-Tite®
to male pipe threads per manufacturer’s instructions
(to ease assembly and to prevent leaks).
- Smear LUBRIPLATE®130-AA (P/N 502723) or
SUPER-O-LUBE®(P/N 505476) on rings and mating
parts to ease assembly to prevent nicking/pinching
rings on rough/tight spots.
POWERIG MAINTENANCE
Maintenance instructions and repair procedures are in
the appropriate POWERIG Instruction Manual.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
Whenever disassembled, and at regular intervals
depending on use, replace all O-rings and Back-up
rings. Keep Spare Parts Service Kit, 507KIT, on hand.
Inspect cylinder bore, piston, piston rod, and unloading
valve for scored surfaces, excessive wear, and damage;
replace as necessary.
NOSE ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
Clean nose assemblies daily in mineral spirits (or other
suitable solvent) 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

CAUTIONS:
- Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) before servicing tool.
- Keep foreign matter out of the hydraulic
system. Keep separated parts away from
dirty work surfaces.
- Dirt and debris in hydraulic fluid causes
valve failures in tool and POWERIG®.
- Check the Assembly Drawings in this
manual for the proper direction of the
flats on the dump valve.
CAUTION: Do NOT use Teflon®tape on pipe
threads. Tape can shred and break free into
fluid lines, resulting in malfunctions.
CAUTION: ALWAYS replace all seals,
wipers, and rings when the tool is
disassembled for any reason.
