Principle of Operation
IMPORTANT - READ BOTH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 3 AND 4 AND THE PUMP UNIT INSTRUCTION
MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE PUTTING INTO SERVICE
When both hoses and control cable are connected to the Avdel®/Enerpac®hydraulic pump unit, the pull and return cycles
of the tool are controlled by depressing and releasing the trigger located in the handle.
When the switch is depressed the solenoid valve, located in the hydraulic pump unit, is energised and directs the
pressurised oil flow to the pull side of the piston in the placing tool. This also allows the oil in the return side of the
placing tool to return to the reservoir.
During the pull cycles the piston/collet assembly moves towards the rear of the tool allowing the O-ring type cushion to
push the follower and jaws forward. If a fastener pin has been inserted in the nose assembly, the jaw set will clamp onto
the pintail and assembly will commence.
For Avbolt®and Infalok®the cycle of installation will first clamp the joint to be fastened and then as the anvil continues
to move forward the collar will be swaged into the locking grooves of the pin. At the end of the swaging cycle the anvil
will come up against the joint and as movement continues the pintail will be broken off.
The trigger switch should be released immediately after pin break occurs. Releasing the trigger switch will cause the
solenoid to de-energise and reverse the flow of pressurised oil.
If the trigger is not released, the placing tool piston will continue to move towards the rear of the tool until it reaches the
end of its stroke. The pressure in the pull side will then increase until a preset ‘High Pressure’ value is achieved at the
pump. At this point the solenoid valve will automatically de-energise and reverse the flow of pressurised oil to the return
side of the placing tool.
In either case, pressurised oil will now flow into the return side of the placing tool, with the oil in the pull side returning
to the reservoir.
The forward movement of the piston/collet assembly will eject the installed fastener from the anvil.
At the point of releasing the trigger or when the ‘High Pressure’ value is achieved, the solenoid valve will de-energise and
activate a preset ‘Return Timer’. This controls the time that the pump motor will continue run before switching to the idle
mode. The timer can be manually set between 5 and 20 seconds to ensure that the placing tool piston always fully
returns to the forward position (refer to pump manual 07900-01030, pages 10 and 13).
When the piston returns to the fully forward position, the pressure will increase to preset low pressure value - c200bar.
The pump motor will continue to run until the Return Timer has expired. After this time period the motor will stop
automatically and valve will switch to the idle position. The solenoid valve will then automatically cycle to release
pressurised oil to the reservoir from both the pull and return side of the placing tool.
This keeps the installation tool in the forward position. No pressure will be present in the hydraulic system at this point.
The hydraulic pump unit will automatically start up on depression of the tool trigger switch.

Preparation for Use
CAUTION - CORRECT PULL AND RETURN PRESSURES ARE IMPORTANT FOR PROPER FUNCTION OF THE
ISTALLATION TOOL. PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT MAY OCCUR WITHOUT CORRECT
PRESSURES. THE PULL AND RETURN PRESSURES SUPPLIED BY THE HYDRAULIC PUMP UNIT MUST NOT
EXCEED THOSE PRESSURES LISTED IN THE PLACING TOOL SPECIFICATION
IMPORTANT –BEFORE PUTTING THE PLACING TOOL AND HYDRAULIC HOSE SET INTO SERVICE:
ENSURE THAT THE PUMP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES HAVE BEEN SET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PUMP
INSTRUCTIONS AND THE MAXIMUM PRESSURES SPECIFIED FOR THE PLACING TOOL AND HOSES.
ENSURE THAT THE HOSE KIT IS PRIMED WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE IN
THE PUMP INSTRUCTION MANUAL 07900-01030.
Ensure the mains power supply to the hydraulic pump unit is switched off.
Connect the placing tool hydraulic hose quick couplers directly to the pump unit before connecting the electrical
control cable. Hoses and control cable must be connected in this order and disconnected in reverse order.
Switch on the mains supply to the hydraulic pump unit. Wait 5 seconds for the pump unit to complete the boot
sequence, before pressing the trigger switch. When all set the LCD screen on the pump unit will display
‘AVDEL’.
During the boot sequence the pump control system identifies any trigger operation as a potential malfunction
and prevents the motor from starting. The LCD screen will display ‘BUTTON FAULT’ in this instance. Reset by
switching off the power supply for 10 seconds.
Ensure that the placing tool is positioned below the pump reservoir tanks. Depress and release the placing tool
trigger switch a few times to almost the full stroke of the tool to circulate hydraulic fluid and expel any air from
the tool.
Observe action of tool. Check for fluid leaks and ensure that in the idler mode the piston is in the fully forward
position. The placing tool will now be primed.
Switch off the mains power supply to the hydraulic pump unit and then disconnect the placing tool from the
pump unit in reverse order to that described above.
Now connect the placing tool to the primed hydraulic hose kit and electrical control cable. Then connect
hydraulic hose kit quick couplers and the electrical control cable to the pump unit.
Attach the nose assembly to the tool as per the instructions in the relevant nose assembly datasheet.
Switch on the mains supply to the hydraulic pump unit as described above.

Safety Data
Enerpac®HF Hydraulic Oil - Safety Data
FIRST AID
SKIN:
Unlikely to cause harm to the skin on brief or occasional contact but prolonged or exposure may lead to dermatitis. Wash
skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing and wash
underlying skin.
ORAL:
Unlikely to cause harm if accidentally swallowed in small doses, though larger quantities may cause nausea and
diarrhea. If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water. Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion
of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce vomiting; obtain medical advice. Take person to
nearest medical centre.
EYES:
Unlikely to cause more than transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs. Wash eyes thoroughly with
copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any pain or redness develops or
persists.
MEDICAL ADVICE:
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Note: High Pressure Applications:
Injections through the skin, resulting from contact with the product at high pressure, constitute a major medical
emergency. Injuries may not appear serious at first but within a few hours tissue becomes swollen, discoloured and
extremely painful with extensive subcutaneous necrosis.
Surgical exploration should be undertaken without delay. Thorough and extensive debridement of the wound and
underlying tissue is necessary to minimize tissue loss and prevent or limit permanent damage. Note that high pressure
may force the product considerable distances along tissue planes.
DISPOSAL
Remove all spills with inert absorbent material. Ventilate spill area. Place contaminated materials in a disposable
container and dispose in a manner consistent with local regulations.
FIRE
FLASH POINT: 200°C.
Extinguish with either dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Do not enter confined space without self contained breathing
apparatus.
