INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 Install the PFI--1 above the work area from a balanc-
er, if applicable. Jarvis part number 1350147 is
available.
1.1 The PFI--1 should have sufficient travel to allow
the operator to reach the entire work area.
2 Make the necessary air connection.
2.1 The minimum required compressed air supply is
0.091 ft3/ cycle at 90 psi (2.58 L / cycle at 6.2
bar).
2.2 An air filter/regulator/lubricator must be in-
stalled in the air supply line. Jarvis part number
3346001 is available. Keep the lubricator filled
at all times.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR HOSE IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH OSHA’S LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCE-

ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
Refer to Figure A on page 4 for referenced items.
1 Connect air hose.
2Each day, before you begin operation, go through the
following checklist:
2.1 Make sure that the compressed air supply is at
the proper pressure and that the lubricator is up
to the full mark. (Use Jarvis Air Mist Lubrica-
tor Oil; if using a conventional air mist lubrica-
tor: set the feed rate at 8--10 drops per minute; if
using a micro fog air mist lubricator*: set the
feed rate at 100 drops per minute). *Almost all
air mist lubricators are micro fog air mist lubri-
cators.
2.2 Make sure the tool is working correctly. Depress
the trigger and the claws should move into the
frame. Release the trigger and the claws should
move out of the frame. If the tool malfunctions,
remove it from service and report the problem
to your supervisor immediately.
2.3 Make sure that the PFI--1 moves freely on the ba-
lancer, if applicable.
3 Inserting the fingers. Refer to Figure 1 as a guide.
THE PFI- 1 IS NOT INTENDED FOR REMOVAL OF
FINGERS. MISUSE OF THE TOOL CAN CAUSE IN-
JURY AND DAMAGE THE TOOL.
3.1 Insert rubber finger by hand through the hole in
barrel drum or plate.
3.1.1 Pull finger by hand firmly against barrel
drum or plate so that the finger will stay in
place for the PFI--1 to grasp. Note: Keep the
finger dry. Do not use any oil or water as a
lubricant on the finger.
3.2 Place opened claws over entire rubber finger and
press tool against barrel drum or plate, as appli-
cable.
3.3 Press trigger to grasp and pull the finger.
3.3.1 Use the PFI--1 to grasp and pull the finger
through the barrel drum or plate until groove
of rubber finger seats into the hole of the
barrel drum or plate. Repeat this step if nec-
essary.
3.4 Release the trigger and remove the PFI--1.
