254 and 254OS Pneudraulic Installation Tools (HK1172) Troubleshooting Always check the simplest possible cause (such as a loose or disconnected trigger line) of a malfunction first. Then proceed logically, eliminating other possible causes until the cause is discovered. Where possible, substitute known good parts for suspected defective parts. Use this Troubleshooting information to aid in locating and correcting trouble. NOTE: “Piston drift” is when the air piston is in the down position, but the hydraulic pull piston is not in the full-forward position. This causes an out-of-sequence condition.
