1/4” Ultra-Lok Tool
Clamp Installation:
When installing a clamp, a random visual check to verify the presence of a locking lip
after the clamp has been applied is recommended. The lip is the locking element of
an installed band. The IT3000 forms a dimple into the band at the buckle edge with
the knife. By controlling and monitoring the items that are needed to form a good
lock, an operator can help insure that the clamp will be applied correctly without
having to inspect every assembly.
These items are:
Adequate air pressure and volume (see page 4, 6)
Setting the tool air pressure (see page 4, 6)
Following recommended PM Schedule (see page 21)
Fixture mounting the tool properly (see page 10-13 )
For best performance and to extend tool life:
Follow preventative maintenance and parts replacement instructions
(page 21) at appropriate service intervals.
Do not remove factory applied lubrication from inside tool unless performing a
thorough maintenance procedure and then replacing with fresh Lubricant
immediately.
Do not use degreaser in the tool body.
Do not spray any lubricant or cleaner into the Quick Connect Air Couplings.
Use nominal recommended tension setting (listed on page 4, 6). Higher pressure
may not result in a tighter clamp, but increases the likelihood of clamp tail jamming,
poor clamp strength and premature worn parts.
Do not over-tighten Knife Pin access screws. Over tightening of these screws may
result in stripping screw threads.
For maintenance beyond what is described in this manual, consult BAND-IT.
