•The S75099 has been designed to tension, set the Junior style lock and cut-off the
remaining scrap clamp tail of Junior Smooth I.D. and standard Junior preformed
clamps. BAND-IT manufactures Junior style clamps using galvanized carbon steel,
Type 201 Stainless Steel and Type 316 Stainless Steel. Clamp widths are available
from ¼” to ¾” wide and available diameter clamps range from 13/16” to as large as 8”.
All clamps can be easily installed on hose assemblies or objects chosen by the operator
using the BAND-IT S75099 air tool.
•During the operator controlled cycle, the S75099 Air Tool will tension the clamp around
the object by pulling the band through the buckle until the desired tension is achieved. If
the cycle is allowed to continue, the tool will release an amount of tension pressure
automatically, switching to a lower holding pressure. This pressure drop is in
preparation for manually setting the lock and shearing the excess clamp tail by
operating the cut-off handle*. The completion of each clamp includes setting the lock
while simultaneously cutting off the excess, scrap clamp tail. The finished lock should
be even with the height of the buckle thickness, have a smooth edge with no sharp
burrs while maintaining the low profile of the Junior style buckle.
*Important operational note! The S75099 tool directs compressed air through a foot
pedal control to cycle the tool and complete the installation of BAND-IT Junior style
clamps. The foot pedal has a dual action, forward (toe) and reverse (heel). During
normal operation, the operator should fully depress the foot pedal forward (toe), not
removing this pedal pressure until the cycle has completed, including the assembly roll
up and clamp tail cut-off. Upon completion of the lock, the heel of the foot pedal should
then be depressed causing the clamp tail to be positioned in the band slot, ready for
removal from the tool by the operator.
•Operating tip: Operation can be stopped at any time by removing the operators foot
completely from the foot pedal control, however, this will affect the tension applied to
the clamp. If cycle is ended prematurely, prior to hose assembly roll-up, depress the
heel side of the foot pedal to remove the hose assembly from the tool or momentarily
allow the air system to stabilize and resume the clamping cycle by pressing the foot
pedal control forward. If the roll-up cycle has already been initiated, re-tensioning the
clamp will result in the tail being overstressed and breaking prematurely before the lock
can be formed.

Important: For proper tool performance, air requirements for S75099 should be:
Line Pressure – 100 psi minimum,125 psi maximum (689 – 862 kPa)
Volume - should be 3-5 CFM
Air Delivery system - ¼” minimum diameter airline with a ¼” N.P.T. connection.
Filtration – Follow typical filtration requirements of air operated equipment. Standard filtering
systems should be located no further than 30’ from this tool in addition to the
supplemental system supplied at the back of the tool as shown below. This BAND-IT
supplied system includes a filter and lubricator. Lubricator should be refilled with DTE
24 hydraulic oil. The oil drip-rate can be verified by repeated full cycling the tool. One
drop should fall in the sight glass within 10-25 cycles. Excess oil will not benefit tool life
and may lead to blockage of air mufflers and a dirty environment.

Warning: The lubricator should be refilled with DTE 24 hydraulic
oil only. The use of other oils may cause damage to the system.

1)Recommended work bench height is 34” – 40”. This height is suggested as the
optimum range for operator comfort and safety during typical clamp applications.
Locate and securely mount the tool on a solid surface making sure of ample
clearance on both left and right sides for handling hose assemblies of various
lengths.
2)The air tool should be firmly secured as close to the front edge of the work station
as possible using the angled mounting brackets supplied with the tool. This
position will reduce interference of hose assemblies during clamp application.
Mount the tool using 5/16” diameter fastening hardware (not supplied with tool).
Check hardware for tightness regularly.
3)Hardware may loosen during shipment. Loose fastening hardware will adversely
affect tool operation, specifically the cut off operation. All fasteners securing the
tool cover, pneumatics, head assembly, blade assembly, cut-off handle and
mounting hardware should be checked for tightness regularly and re-tensioned as
needed.

4)Use of the S75099 without properly maintained filtration and lubrication will cause
clamp tensioning problems and void the warranty.
Clamp Installation: Precautions
Operators should understand that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but
excess tension could damage the hose assembly. The fitting stem must have prominent
barbs for proper retention inside the hose, but barbs must not be sharp to prevent cutting
into the hose. Hose, fitting and clamp must be compatible with each other and the
intended working environment. If in doubt, consult the hose or fitting manufacturer or call
BAND-IT.
Clamping objects other than hose require similar precautions.
CAUTION: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies,
which could cause injuries or property damage.
CAUTION: Abuse or use of hose outside the manufacturers recommended conditions
may cause it to quickly deteriorate and become a safety hazard. This could result in
serious injury or property damage. Inspect and test hose assemblies frequently. Repair
or replace at the slightest sign of damage or deterioration.

Air pressure setting can be made using the regulators
and gauges on face of the tool.
Junior Clamp
Application Tool
Dual function foot control valve. Pressing forward
activates clamp installation. Heel action activates tail
return and prepares for next clamp.
Rule: Always approach the pull-up pressure setting from below and the holding
pressure setting from above the recommended value.
Rule: Gauge readings are to be used as a guide. It may be necessary to adjust the
Pull-Up and Holding Pressure settings to match the requirements of the
particular hose assembly construction or application.
1. Speed Control adjusts the speed of piston travel during tensioning of the band clamp. A
slower setting will allow more time while a faster setting may cause increased friction
between the band and the buckle as the clamp tail is pulled through the buckle during
tensioning. Increased friction may cause the clamp to tension improperly.
2. Setting the Speed Control: The speed of the cycle should be set according to the width
of Junior Clamp being tensioned. Each width clamp has a color code setting on the
speed control regulator. See this manual page # 8 or the decal on the side of the tool.
Use the attached lock ring to secure the desired setting and prevent accidental
changes.
3. Pull-up Pressure reflects the tension applied to the clamp and is measured by force
applied to the clamp tail being pulled through the buckle. A pull-up pressure setting too
low may allow the fitting to be forced out of the hose assembly. A setting too high may
cause damage to the assembly or cause the clamp tail to tear. For most hose
applications, the ideal setting is as high as can be achieved without sacrificing the
strength of the lock, damaging the hose and fitting or breaking the clamp tail.
