recommended before using Huck equipment.
When operating Huck equipment, always wear approved eye
and hearing protection.
Be sure there is adequate clearance for the operator’s hands
before proceeding.
Use only Huck Powerig® Hydraulic Units as a power source
for Huck installation equipment. Hydraulic power units
that deliver high PULL and RETURN pressures, but are not
not recommended
and may be dangerous.
Connect tool hydraulic hoses to the Powerig before
connecting tool switch control cord to the unit. If not
connected in this order, severe personal Injury may occur.
Correct PULL and RETURN pressures are required for
operator safety and installation tool function. Gauge
T-124833CE is available for checking pressures. See
and Gauge Instruction Manual. Failure to verify
pressures may result in severe personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
Apply Parker Threadmate®,
Loctite® 567, or Slic-Tite®
to male pipe threads (per
manufacturer’s instructions)
to prevent leaks and to ease
assembly.
Keep disconnected hoses,
away from dirty surfaces

failures.
Hose couplers must be
completely joined in order
to ensure that ball checks in
the nipple and the body are

TO INSTALL A BOBTAIL FASTENER:
Operating Instructions
WARNINGS:
To avoid severe personal injury, wear approved eye and ear
protection.
Be sure of adequate clearance for operator’s hands before
proceeding with fastener installation.
Do NOT attempt to install a pin without placing the fastener
and collar in the work piece (structure to be fastened).
Do NOT attempt to install a pin without a properly oriented
collar in place.
If these safety measures are not followed, the fastener could
eject with great velocity and cause severe personal injury.
CAUTIONS: Remove excess
gap from between the sheets.
This permits enough pintail
to emerge from collar for
ALL jaw teeth to engage with
pintail. If ALL teeth do not
engage properly, jaws will be
damaged.
FOR SAFE OPERATION, THIS SECTION MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
Do NOT install a fastener without a
workpiece (structure to be fastened), a pin,
and a properly oriented collar in place.
Do NOT pull a fastener
with the collar upside
down.

Maintenance
maintenance. Read this section completely before proceeding
with maintenance and repair. Use proper hand tools in a
clean and well-lighted area. Only standard hand tools are
required in most cases. Where a special tool is required, the
description and part number are given. While clamping tool
or parts in a vise, and when parts require force, use suitable
soft materials to cushion impact. For example, using a half-
inch brass drift, wood block, and vise with soft jaws greatly
reduces possibility of damaging tool. Remove components
in a straight line without bending, cocking or undue force.
Re-assemble tool with the same care.
