AK-175 Quick tips and Operating Instructions
1. AK-175 will install all diameter blind rivets 3/32 to
1/4 by changing only the nose piece.
2. Pull force of over 5000 lbs.
3. Operating Air pressure: 90 to 120 psi. DO NOT
EXCEED 120 PSI.
IMPORTANT: 110 psi must be maintained when setting
all 1/4” rivets.
The hydraulic system is sealed and may show visible
residue on the trigger area. No need to add oil. If the
AK-175 is damaged and leaks oil, it must be returned to
an authorized service center.
Installing rivet…. With rivet mandrel inserted in the
tool nose, insert the rivet body into the application
hole. Hold the tool steady against the work surface and
depress the upper trigger. The tool will press forward
to install rivet from 1 to 3 seconds max. Rivet mandrel
should break in one pull. If not, stop and pull the lower
lever to reverse tool and re-grip the rivet for a second
pull. After the mandrel breaks, press the lower trigger
to reverse the tool and ready for next rivet. Mandrel will
drop out of the nose when you point the tool downward.
DO NOT OVER EXTEND… by holding the upper
trigger or turn up air pressure to try increase tool stroke.
This may cause tool to leak and require returning it to
an authorized service center for repair.
1. Jaws should be washed in solvent and lube after
300 rivets.
2. The nose tube and nose piece can be changed
“only” when the tool nose is extended.
3. Do Not use the tool as a lever if rivet mandrel is
jammed while re-gripping. Instead, with the lower
trigger depressed, push riveter against the work for
the jaws to get a deeper grip.
4. If rivet mandrel is stuck in tool after breaking,
depress lower trigger, lightly tap the nose against a
hard surface. This will release the mandrel from the
jaws and allow it to drop free.
5. Frequently check the nose piece to insure it does
not vibrate loose during operation.
6. To extend tool life… DO NOT hold trigger more
than 3 seconds.
7. Operating temperature should not drop below
freezing.
8. If the tool will not reverse, check for broken jaw
holder or chips of metal in the nose tube… clean or
replace as needed.
9. Before operating tool make sure that the nose tube
and nose piece are completely screwed down
snug by hand.
