4. AIR SUPPLY
4.1.
Air Supply
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the riveter. Too high an air pressure and
R
unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.1.
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in Fig.1.
4.1.2.
Ensure the riveter air valve (or trigger) is not depressed before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.3.
You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
4.1.4.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the riveter and invalidate your warranty.
4.1.5.
Clean air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.6.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should
be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.7.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2.
Couplings
4.2.1.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the riveter. To overcome this, connect a leader hose
Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 - to the riveter. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to
the air line recoil hose. See figs.1 & 2.

5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply
R
the safety instructions. This tool is designed for rivetting metal,
primarily in workshops and garages. We do not recommend
any other use.
5.1.
Fitting the Desired Nozzle.
5.1.1.
Fit the supplied spanner over the nozzle and turn it
anti-clockwise to remove it (Fig.3).
5.1.2.
Fit the correct size nozzle for the rivet to be used and
screw back into the frame head and tighten with the spanner.
5.2.
Operation.
5.2.1.
Ensure the air valve is in the closed position (Fig.4)
before connecting the air supply.
5.2.2.
Open the shut-off valve by sliding the knurled ring
upwards (Fig.4).
5.2.3.
Place the desired size rivet into the nozzle, ensuring the
nozzle is the correct size for the rivet.
5.2.4.
Insert the rivet into the workpiece as far as it will go and
squeeze the trigger. The rivet will be compressed and the
spent mandrel will be sucked into the spent mandrel bottle.
5.2.5.
When the spent mandrel bottle is full, close the shut-off
valve, unscrew, empty and replace (Fig.4).

6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure you disconnect the tool from the air supply system before attempting any service or maintenance.
R
6.1.
Maintain the tool with care. Keep it oiled for optimum performance.
6.2.
LUBRICATION
6.2.1.
Lubricate the air tool daily with a high quality air tool oil, (such as Sealey Part No. ATO/500 or ATO/1000).
6.2.2.
Add oil to the hydraulic system occasionally.
6.2.3.
Unscrew the oil tank plug (Fig.5) and fill with SAE 10 oil until the oil level reaches the bottom of the plug hole. It is recommended
that the oil seal, part No: SA316.49 be replaced during this procedure.
6.2.4.
Re-fit the oil plug screw.
