Recommended Lubricants
Chicago Pneumatic Airoilene oil which contains moisture absorbent, rust
inhibiting additives and will not separate while the tool is idle, is
recommended for use with this tool and may be purchased under the
following symbols: 1 gallon can-P089507, 5 gallon can-P089508. If
recommended oil is not available, use a turbine or spindle grade oil with
a viscosity of 100-150 SUS at 100 F. which contains a rust inhibitor.
Loss of Power / Erratic Action
Loss of power or tool failure may be caused by factors outside the
tool. Make the following checks:
1. Check air pressure. For rated performance, 90 PSI air pressure is
required at the tool. A drop in air pressure may be caused by lowered
compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, or by the use of hose
or connections of improper size or in poor condition.
2. Check for wet or dirty air. wet air tends to wash lubricant away from
cylinder and cause the tool to rust and corrode. Dirt and foreign matter in
the air supply will impede the action of the piston and damage the tool.
If the previous factors are in order:
1. Check lubrication. Disconnect tool and pour a liberal quantity of
recommended oil cut with an equal amount of kerosene into the air inlet.
Operate tool to flush out gum and foreign matter.
To develop maximum power, the riveter must drive the rivet near the
end of the riveter's stroke. Therefore, the combined length of the two
rivet sets must be correct. Determine the correct length as follows:

When two cupped rivet sets are
used:
The length of the body dimensions of
the rivet sets (B , B ) should equal the
1
2
closed height dimension of the yoke
(C) minus the total thickness of
material being riveted (M).
When one cupped and one flush
set are used:
The length of the body dimensions of
the two rivet sets (B , B ) should
1
2
equal the closed height dimension of
the yoke (C) minus the total thickness
of the material being riveted (M) and
the height of the finished rivet head
driven by the flush set (H).
When two flush sets are used:
The length of the body dimensions of
the two rivet sets (B , B ) should
1
2
equal the closed height dimension of
the yoke (C) minus the overall length
of the rivet after it is driven (L).
2. Check mechanical parts of tool. If surface scratches or minor cracks are
apparent on wedge (41), polish smooth. If wedge (41), rivet (42), or
spacer (43) is broken, replace with new parts. Check "O" ring seals (24),
and (34) on tandem cylinder model, and replace if worn. Replace throttle
valve bushing (106) if throttle valve (107) fits loosely. Inspect roller
bearings and rollers for breakage or excessive wear.
NOTE: Cylinder head gasket (55) and air inlet swivel gasket (120) should
be replaced with new parts at each second disassembly.
3. Check length of rivet set bodies. To develop maximum power the riveter
must drive the rivet as close to the end of the riveter's stroke as possible.
Assembly Cautions
When pressing bushings into cylinder heads, be very careful to press the
bushing in square with the bore in the aluminum head. If a cocked
bushing starts a chip, it will damage the head irreparably. After assembly,
bushings must be reamed.
The closed height dimension of the yoke referred to is the opening
available when the jaws or plunger are in extreme closed or forward
position with both rivet sets removed.
SHIM
RIVET SET
If necessary, select rivet sets a little short and shim to proper length
with hardened shims (1/64", 1/32", 1/16", or 1/8" thick).
