TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The following safety instructions have been included to provide you with information necessary for safe operation of the TrakFast Tool. WARNING HIERARCHY WARNING DANGER Failure to follow all instructions may result in severe personal injury or substantial damage to tool and/or personal property. WARNING When servicing tool, stay clear of high voltage ignition cable. High voltage may be present in unexpected areas with malfunctioning tools.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Wear eye and ear protection. The fastener may be accidently discharged. 9. DANGER Always wear EYE and EAR safety gear when working with or in the vicinity of the TrakFast tool. 2. ALWAYS assume the tool is “loaded”. 3. DON’T treat the TrakFast tool as a toy. The TrakFast tool is not a toy — it is a tool. Careless and improper use may result in a serious accident. 4. NEVER carry the tool with your finger on or pressing the trigger.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 15. Fuel Cell Storage 6. DANGER Insert the battery, contact side down, into the charger and depress red button. The green light will go out and the red light will come on, indicating the battery is charging. 7. Always store fuel cells where they will not be exposed to an open flame, sparks or temperatures above 120 degrees F (48 degrees C). 16. ALWAYS store the tool with the fuel cell removed. 17. Keep the tool clean. 18.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL OPERATION OVERVIEW Magazine Assembly The magazine assembly has two functions. Its primary function is to store and feed fasteners into the nose of the tool. Its secondary function is to house the battery and battery contact assembly. This assembly generates and controls forces that drive the fasteners. It will require the majority of routine service and/or repair.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL OPERATION START and PRE-COMBUSTION When lower probe (E) is pressed against the work surface, cage (F) is forced against the spring (G). Combustion chamber (H) is raised up against cylinder head (I), and O-Rings (J & M) seal off the combustion chamber, creating an air tight seal. This initial movement, pressing the lower probe against the work surface, causes the fuel cell/metering valve assembly to pivot.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL OPERATION Combustion Depressing the trigger activates the ignition circuit. This causes a spark (N) to jump the gap between the spark element and cylinder head, igniting the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber. Piston assembly (O) is forced downward driving the fastener into the work surface. Rev.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL OPERATION Power/Exhaust Downward movement of the piston assembly, past exhaust ports (P), allows exhaust gases to exit. The pressure of the exhaust gases against the flat washer compresses the wave washers, allowing the gases to flow through the mid-check area (Q) and out of the tool through the exhaust ports in the bottom of the housing (R). At the bottom of stroke, the piston assembly strikes bumper (S). Rev.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL OPERATION Return Reduced pressure within the combustion chamber allows wave washers (T) to reseal the combustion chamber. Rapid cooling of gases trapped in the combustion chamber (U) creates vacuum. This vacuum is strong enough to lift and hold the piston assembly in its starting position. As the piston assembly moves up the sleeve, air is drawn in through ports in the housing nose (V). Rev.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL OPERATION Purging The combustion chamber drops when the tool is lifted from the work surface and the trigger is released. This opens the seal between the combustion chamber and cylinder head O-Ring (W) and sleeve O-Ring (X). The fan is now able to circulate fresh air into the combustion chamber, cooling the sleeve (Y) and purging any remaining exhaust gases from the tool through ports (Z). Rev.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING Preparing Tool for Operation — Battery/Charger Problems SYMPTOM Battery Cell doesn’t appear to accept charge — green Charger light does not come on — red Charger light comes on when Battery Cell is inserted in Charger. Battery is inserted into Charger and no red LED. POSSIBLE PROBLEMS SERVICE Inoperative indicator lights on Charger. Try Battery Cell in tool after charge cycle. If tool LED is green, Charger lights are not working properly.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL DISASSEMBLY DANGER ALWAYS TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BEFORE ANY SERVICE OR ROUTING MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED: • REMOVE FASTENERS • REMOVE FUEL CELL • REMOVE BATTERY REMOVE THE MAGAZINE ASSEMBLY Loosen and remove knob (part #801124). Slide the magazine back and away from nose. Rev.

TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL DISASSEMBLY REMOVE MOTOR ASSEMBLY Pull Handle Assembly away from Motor Assembly until fan clears combustion chamber assembly. Do not scratch combustion chamber walls with fan blades. Set Handle Assembly down carefully so that Fan Blades are not damaged and Fan Motor Shaft is not bent. When removing handle from housing, be sure not to bend fan blades. CAUTION Be sure leads and connectors are positioned so that leads are not pinched when installing cap.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL DISASSEMBLY Motor/Cylinder Head Assembly Torque Head Switch to 5-10 in-lbs. Torque Spark Plug to 20-25 in-lbs. Install Stem Adapter as illustrated. Notice the difference between one end of the Sleeve to the other. One side of the sleeve has a rib. The other side does not. The ribs should be to the inside and should touch the fan motor. **CRITICAL** Install the Motor Sleeve as illustrated.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL Motor/Cylinder Head Assembly (cont’d) Apply a small amount of oil or lubricant to the inside of the bore where the Fan Motor is positioned. Insert Motor Assembly as illustrated. The Motor Sleeve orientation will determine how well the spacing will be around the shaft. Make sure that it is equally spaced all the way around. SOMETIMES you may have to adjust the Motor Sleeve clockwise or counterclockwise to help center the shaft. Rev.
TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL TOOL DISASSEMBLY Motor/Cylinder Head Assembly (cont’d) Make sure the “flat” side of the shaft is where the Set Screw on the Fan Blade will be tightened. Position the Fan Blade approximately .120” away from the bottom of the cylinder head. Feeler Gages or an 1/8” drill bit works well as a spacer. Carefully place the Fan Blade until it is flat and leveled over the Fan Blade Spacer. Tighten Set Screw no more than 8 to 10 in-lbs of torque. Rev.
