GENERAL INFORMATION

MANUFACTURER
Rivit S.r.l. was born in 1973, it produces and distributes in Fasteners and Tools for Fixings (tools for rivets and rivet
nuts). The Company boasts much technical experience and offers a wide range of products related to fastening
systems.

ASSISTANCE
In case you need any assistance concerning the use and the maintenance of the tool, or in case you need to order
any spare parts, you shall contact your local authorised dealer (or Rivit S.r.l. directly) specifying the identification/
serial numbers of the tool, written on its outer casing.

CERTIFICATION AND EC MARKING

The tool is manufactured in compliance with the European Directives, which are in force when the tool itself is put
on the market. As the tool is not included in ENCLOSURE IV of DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC, Rivit S.r.l. issues a self-
certification to apply the EC marking.

WARRANTY
The warranty has a validity of 12 months, as of the date indicated on the invoice.
The warranty only covers replaced parts; labor is not included.
The following are not covered by warranty: standard accessories (see section 2.5) and tool damages caused by:
• transport and/or handling, user’s mistakes,
• failed servicing/maintenance, as indicated in section 7 of this manual,
• faults and/or breakages that are not attributable to tool anomalies,
• normal consumption of consumables.

The warranty is invalidated both in case of unauthorized tampering/replacements of tool components and in case of
use of accessories, tools or consumables different to those recommended by the manufacturer, which could even
cause injuries to the tool’s user.
Rivit S.r.l. assumes responsibilities only if the tool is originally defective, but declines all forms of responsibility if
the user fails to follow the instructions given.

OPERATING SYSTEM
The hydro-pneumatic RIV938 tool, with oil pressure regulation, is designed to place female threaded inserts (from
#4-40 to 3/8” and M3 to M10) and male threaded inserts (from #8-32 to 5/16” and M4 to M8). The hydro-pneumatic
system and the mechanical components used inside the RIV938, when compared with other riveting tools, are more
reliable. There is less wear and tear of the components, consequently the tool will last much longer and work better.
The technical solutions adopted make the RIV938 more compact and lighter.

MANUAL STRUCTURE
This instruction manual must be read with particular attention by the Customer, as the correct pre-arrangement,
installation and use of the tool, are the correct basis for a good relationship between Manufacturer and Customer.

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

The manual herein has the purpose of providing the Customer with all the information needed not only to use the
tool correctly, but also to manage it self-sufficiently and safely. It includes information concerning technical aspects,
operation, maintenance, spare parts and safety.
Users and Qualified Technicians must read the instructions given herein thoroughly before starting to use the
tool. If you have any doubts on the meaning of the instructions given, please do not hesitate to contact Rivit S.r.l.
for further explanations.

RECEIVERS
The manual herein has been written for both the operators and the technicians enabled to service the tool.

Rivit S.r.l. is not liable for any damage deriving from the failed observance of this rule.

PLACING OF THE MANUAL

This instruction manual must be kept near the tool, inside a dedicated container and, above all, away from liquids or
anything else that may compromise its legibility.

OPERATING SYSTEM
The hydro-pneumatic RIV938 tool, with oil pressure regulation, is designed to place the following fasteners:
• Female threaded rivet nuts (from #4-40 to 3/8” and M3 to M10)
• Male threaded rivet studs (from #8-32 to 5/16” and M4 to M8)
The hydro-pneumatic system and the mechanical components used in the inside structure of the RIV938, when
compared with other riveting tools, result to be much more reliable. A tool feature is a reduction of the problems
caused by the wear and tear of the components, and consequently the tool will last much longer and work better.
The technical solutions adopted make the RIV938 more compact and lighter: the result is a very handy tool.

VIBRATION
When used correctly, the tool does not produce any dangerous vibration.

NOISE LEVEL
The tool is designed and manufactured in such a way that the noise level is very low. The weighed equivalent continu-
ous acoustic pressure level A in the operator position is indeed below 80 dB (A).

training.

MOTOR SCREWING ROTATES NONSTOP

When the rotating pin (6 part number 4151500) is broken and you replace it, the motor may rotate continuously,
which means that the shaft (13 part number 3761300) is too long; in this case it will have to be shortened by a few
tenths to obtain the closure of the ball (14 part number 3096900). When the air is on, the shaft shall have no end
float.

MOTOR UNSCREWING DOES NOT ROTATE

Unlike the situation above, the shaft is too short and it has to be replaced with a new one, fitting it without end float,
with the air on, in order to obtain the closure of the ball (14 part number 3096900).

Shut-off all sources of power to the tool.
The operator must wear and use suitable personal protections before starting to clean the tool.

ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
In order to prevent stoppages and faults of the tool, an ordinary maintenance (including inspections, checks and
operations) must be scheduled to keep the following under systematic control:
• State of lubrication of the tool.
• State of wear of consumable parts.

REFILLING THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT WITH OIL

The hydraulic circuit needs to be refilled with oil after a continuous use, and when you notice a reduction in the tool
stroke.

Proceed as follows (see photo at right):

• Disconnect the airline from the tool inlet.
• Remove cap together with relevant washer 27.
• Put the tool in horizontal position and slowly pour in the hydraulic oil
(ISO VG 32 type) 50 until the circuit is full.
• Screw cap back on, together with relevant washer 27.
• Connect the tool to compressed air line and start up a couple of idle
cycles. Stop pulling the trigger and slowly loosen screw 27; make sure
that the circuit is full with oil and that no air bubbles are left inside.
Wear gloves when managing the oil.
Do not throw the old oil outdoors. Hand it over to an authorized waste
disposal center.
Warning!: If you should accidentally spill oil on your skin, wash and rinse
thoroughly with soap and water.

PARTS SUBJECT TO WEAR

On a periodic basis check the rubber base for wear, as this is what ensures the stability of the tool. If it should need
replacing, order the spare base from PennEngineering indicating the year/serial number of the tool.
On a periodic basis check the screws and heads for wear and, if necessary, replace them as indicated.
