Operating Instructions for the F175 Installation Tool
For applying 3/4" wide K series clamps
Hold tool as shown with ball handle all the way
forward. Insert clamp and push the end entirely
into the tool until the lock is held in pusher housing
jaws.
Slip the hose with nipple inserted into the clamp
and locate clamp directly over groove - (position of
groove can be laid out on hose with chalk), tighten
the clamp with downward strokes of ball handle,
using short strokes after initial slack is out so that
ball handle finishes in down position.
Hold the tool with clamp resting on Vee block, vise
or other solid surface. Swing punch head down
against lock and strike hard with mallet; this locks
the clamp. Raise punch head to free punch. Hold
hose to keep from turning and raise both handles of
tool up together which will break off band at lock.
To remove cut off end from tool, operate ball handle
to work it through holding dog. Then press release
lever and pull strip out toward rear of tool.
