S75099 Pneumatic

Junior Clamp

Application Tool

Installing BAND-IT Junior and Junior Smooth I.D. Clamps:

Choose correct material type, band width and diameter clamp to best satisfy the
needs of the application. Adjust air pressure settings per S75099 tool
specifications per page 8.

Installation of two BAND-IT Junior style clamps per hose end is suggested.
Place clamps over hose, then install fitting. Note the location of the

fitting’s hose

barbs in order to locate clamps between barbs for maximum fitting retention.
The buckle locations of each clamp should be applied opposite of each other to
increase resistance to leak paths.

Insert the clamp tail fully into the nose of the tool with the buckle on top.
Position the hose assembly inside the clamp in the desired location.

Depress the toe end of the foot pedal control to tension clamp, keeping the toe
end down until the clamp has been fully tensioned, locked and cut-off is
complete. Caution: If an oversized clamp is used on the assembly, the piston
may travel

it’s full length and bottom out against the cylinder wall. The tool will

sense full pressure and switch to the lower Holding Pressure setting but clamp
will not be as tight as required! The clamp should be removed from the tool by
pressing the heel of the foot pedal and the operator will need to cut off excess
clamp tail, leaving 4

” attached for inserting back into the tool head and taking

another grip of clamp tail. Cycle tool as explained above.

The clamp has now been fully tensioned and is ready to be completed. Allow
the tool to cycle into the cut-off mode and fully bleed off until holding pressure is
attained. Roll up the hose assembly to position the buckle under the Shear
Hook in the head assembly. Using a strong quick pulling action, pull the cut-off
handle which will cause the shear hook to generate a strong downward
pressure on the buckle. For a moment, just prior to the cut-off, the buckle will be
wedged between the shear hook and the backing plate at the mouth of the band
slot.

Depress the heel end of the foot pedal and retrieve the clamp tail from between
the cutter blade and shear plate.

Important advice and warning to user, read notes on page 6 before

applying clamps.
