There are certain problems that you may
encounter when you are using the TrakFast
tool that you will be able to correct on the
work site, The following field service pro-
cedures are the only service procedures
you should attempt . Anything else that may
appear wrong with the TrakFast tool should
only be diagnosed and repaired by a fully
trained service technician . If you have any
reason to believe that your problem is beyond
the service procedures in this manual, contact
your Sales Representative immediately,
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the
TrakFast tool without first removing the Fuel
Cell . Maintenance should only be started
after the tool is completely inoperative .
BATTERY CELL CHECK
Periodically check on the LED Battery
Voltage Indicator Light—the LED in
the Handle of the TrakFast tool . When
encountering a problem, the first step
should always be to make sure the Battery
has enough energy to operate the tool .
If the light is red, recharge the Battery, If
the light is glowing green, indicating that the
Battery is charged, check the ignition system .
FUEL CELL CHECK
Another typical service condition will occur
when the Fuel Cell becomes empty . A typical
symptom will be when the TrakFast tool’s
Fan operates and the LED is green, but the
tool does not drive fasteners completely . In
this case, take the Fuel Cell out of the tool,
check to see if the Cell still contains fuel
and that the Metering Valve is working . To
determine if there is any fuel left in the Fuel
Cell simply place the Metering Stem against
a solid object, and gently push about three
or four times . A small amount of fuel should
be released each time . Never perform this
test near an open flame or sparks, while
smoking, or where the fuel may get into
your eyes . If fuel is not released with each
operation of the Metering Valve, this indicates
that there is no more fuel left in the cylinder
and it must be replaced . Dispose of the
empty Fuel Cell properly .
AIR FILTER
Open the cover by pressing slightly above
the Red Adapter, and pivoting the cover
open . The Air Filter simply lift out . Tap the
filter GENTLY to remove any dust . You
should check and clean the Air Filter every
two days .
CLEARING A JAM
A typical problem you may encounter is
having a jammed fastener . Because of the
unique design of the TrakFast tool, clearing
a jammed fastener is easy .
1 . Pull the Carrier Assembly back until it
locks .
2 . Loosen the Magazine Locking Knob
three full turns .
3 . Remove the
Magazine by
sliding it away
from the nose
of the tool .
