and quick connect fittings with
Parker Threadmate
®
,
Loctite
®
567, or Slic-Tite
®
per manufacturer’s
instructions. Use a HUCK Powerig
®
Hydraulic Unit, or
equivalent, that has been prepared for operation per its
instruction manual. Check both the PULL and RETURN
pressures and, if required, adjust to pressures given in
s
pecIfIcatIons
section of this manual.
1. First, turn OFF the Powerig, and then disconnect its
power supply. Disconnect trigger control system from
hydraulic unit.
2. Connect PULL pressure hose, with coupler nipple,
into port “P” of tool. Connect RETURN pressure
hose, with coupler body, into port “R” of tool. Check
trigger assembly for apparent damage or wear If
required, adjust position of trigger assembly on
RETURN pressure hose. Connect the trigger control
system to the Powerig.
3. Connect the Powerig to its power supply (air or
electric) and turn it ON. Press trigger a few times to

WARNINGS:
Read entire manual before using tool.
A 30-minute training session with qualified
personnel is 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.
HUCK recommends that only a HUCK
Powerig
®
be used to power Huck tools.
(
Only use the Powerig as indicated in
its instruction manual
.) Hydraulic power
units that deliver high PULL and RETURN
pressures, but that are NOT equipped with
RELIEF VALVES, are specifically NOT
RECOMMENDED and may be dangerous.
Set the PULL and RETURN pressures
as specified in
s
pecIfIcatIons
. Use Huck
Pressure Gauge T-124833CE as indicated in
its instruction manual. Failure to properly
set pressures could result in serious
personal injury.
Connect the tool’s
hydraulic hoses
to the
Powerig
®
Hydraulic Unit before connecting
the tool’s trigger control system to it. If not
connected in this order, and disconnected
in the reverse order, severe personal injury
may occur.
CAUTIONS:
Keep disconnected hoses, couplers, and
hydraulic fluid away from dirty surfaces and
free of foreign matter. Contaminated fluid
can cause valve failure in tool and Powerig
hydraulic units.
Do not use TEFLON
®
tape on pipe threads.
Pipe threads may cause tape to shred,
resulting in tool malfunction.
Do not abuse the tool by dropping it, using
it as a hammer, or otherwise causing
unnecessary wear and tear.
Reasonable care of installation tools
by operators is an important factor in
maintaining tool efficiency and reducing
down time.
Apply Parker Threadmate
®
, Loctite
®
567, or
Slic-Tite
®
to male pipe threads, hose fitting
threads, and quick connect fittings (per
manufacturer’s instructions) to prevent
leaks and to ease assembly.
Read and understand all WARNINGs and CAUTIONS before operating or performing
maintenance on HUCK equipment.
