RAMSET TRAKFAST Repair Manual page 62

The troubleshooting charts on the following pages have been developed to provide a systematic approach to handling
problems. The charts provide troubleshooting information for each phase of tool operation, and list the suggested cor-
rective action for each symptom beginning with the simplest of most likely solution first.
Before attempting any service, always make sure you try operating the tool using a fresh, fully-charged battery first. If
this doesn't work, place a new Fuel Cell in the tool also, and try again. Many "tools won't operate" problems are the
result of failure to make sure that the Fuel Cell is delivering fuel and that the Battery is fully charged.
DANGER
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE A TOOL THAT IS MISSING PARTS, OR THAT HAS OR IS THOUGHT TO HAVE SEVERELY
DAMAGED COMPONENTS, SINCE ADDITIONAL TOOL DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
Always check the tool for proper operation before placing it back in service, but before operating the tool for the first time
after performing service, go through the following checklist:
• Make sure all parts removed during service have been replaced in the tool. Do not attempt to operate the TrakFast tool
if there are extra parts left over after assembly.
DANGER
OPERATING A TRAKFAST TOOL WITHOUT ALL PARTS PROPERLY INSTALLED MAY RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY TO TOOL USER AND BYSTANDERS AND CAUSE EXTENSIVE TOOL DAMAGE.
• Make sure that all hardware is securely tightened, and that Loctite #242 (blue) has been used where appropriate. Pay
particular attention to Cap and Nose screws, since these screws help contain the forces that provide the power to operate
your TrakFast tool.
• Make sure that the Work Contacting Element and Trigger operate freely, and that they do not bind in any position.
• Make sure that Handle halves, Magazine and Motor are properly assembled, and that no wiring is pinched or exposed
between mating parts.
• Check the tool for labels, and replace any labels that are missing or that are no longer readable.
If the TrakFast tool will not operate after following the service directions in the Troubleshooting Guide,
return the tool to an ITW Ramset Distributor Sales Representative for service.
