and Tool
Operation
Air pressure setting can be made using the regulators
and gauges on face of the tool.
Always approach the pull-up pressure setting from below and the holding
Rule:
pressure setting from above the recommended value.
Gauge readings are to be used as a guide. It may be necessary to adjust the
Rule:
Pull-Up and Holding Pressure settings to match the requirements of the
particular hose assembly construction or application.
1. Speed Control adjusts the speed of piston travel during tensioning of the band clamp. A
slower setting will allow more time while a faster setting may cause increased friction
between the band and the buckle as the clamp tail is pulled through the buckle during
tensioning. Increased friction may cause the clamp to tension improperly.
2. Setting the Speed Control: The speed of the cycle should be set according to the width
of Junior Clamp being tensioned. Each width clamp has a color code setting on the
speed control regulator. See this manual page # 8 or the decal on the side of the tool.
Use the attached lock ring to secure the desired setting and prevent accidental
changes.
3. Pull-up Pressure reflects the tension applied to the clamp and is measured by force
applied to the clamp tail being pulled through the buckle. A pull-up pressure setting too
low may allow the fitting to be forced out of the hose assembly. A setting too high may
cause damage to the assembly or cause the clamp tail to tear. For most hose
applications, the ideal setting is as high as can be achieved without sacrificing the
strength of the lock, damaging the hose and fitting or breaking the clamp tail.
