PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CHERRYMAX ® RIVET FEATURES
The CherryMAX® rivet is a reliable, high strength
structural fastener widely used in the aircraft
industry. It features the “safe-lock” locking
collar for reliable joint integrity It meets the
requirements of PS-CMR-3000.
A CherryMAX® rivet consists of four components:
1. A
 fully serrated stem with break notch, shear
ring and integral grip adjustment
2. A
 driving anvil which acts as a tool, setting the
locking collar in place
3. A
 locking collar that mechanically locks
the stem to the rivet sleeve during fastener
installation
4. A rivet sleeve
CHERRYMAX ® RIVET BENEFITS
Simple tooling and increased tool life
The driving anvil acts as a setting tool increasing the tool life and
allowing the installation of multiple sizes (4,5 and 6 diameters)
with one tool.

Visual Inspectability
The CherryMAX® rivet features a “safe-lock” locking collar which
enhances joint integrity and reliability.
Correct installation can be assessed from the visible side due to
two features: stem flushness and locking collar formation. This
system is approved for use in engine inlets and components.

CHERRYMAX ® INSTALLATION
In order to achieve proper fastener
installations, make sure to:
• Prepare and de-burr the holes properly;
• Select the proper grips for the fasteners to
be installed.
The following pages will describe each of
these processes in detail.

1. M
 ake sure the holes are aligned and the hole
structure is properly clamped. Use Tack
RIGHT WRONG
rivets and/or spring-loaded fasteners to
minimize material creep and eliminate
sheet gap.
2. P
 lace the rivet in the structure hole.
Caution: This should be a clearance fit. Do
not force the rivet into the hole!
3. P
 lace the pulling head (Installation tool)
onto the rivet stem. Hold the tool coaxial
with the hole the fastener is being installed
into. Press firmly against head of rivet to
minimize head and sheet gap. RIGHT WRONG

4. Depress the trigger (or pump when using

hand powered riveters). The rivet clamping
action will pull the sheets together, seat the
rivet head and break the stem flush with
the head of the rivet. Release trigger after
the stem breaks.
Caution: Make sure to hold the riveter
steady and coaxial with the rivet to be
installed.
  A
 bulb will form on the blind side of the
structure. During installation, the broken
portion of the stem may be ejected through
the back of the riveter; to contain the FOD,
use the stem catcher bag (670A20) or the
vacuum extraction accessory (RIVAC 220-03).

HOLE PREPARATION
COUNTERSINKING gap
Accurate countersinking is of primary importance to the
structural integrity of a flush riveted joint.
Standard countersinking procedures (similar to the ones used
for solid rivets) may be used.
The countersink tool pilot should be no more than .001"
smaller than the hole diameter; a combination drill and cocked head
countersink would improve accuracy.
Please note that an undersized pilot:
• May generate an off center countersink. This will create a
head gap when installing the fastener.
• May cause off axis (angular) countersinks. This will create a
“cocked” rivet head condition, causing installation issues.

DIMPLING
The CherryMAX® blind fasteners are especially recommended
for this type of application. BEFORE sharp
edges
In order to achieve the desired results, dimpling must be done
with a hole-size allowing for subsequent reaming.
After dimpling, the hole should be reamed to the
recommended dimensions. As Dimpled
This process is required as normal dimpling procedures AFTER smooth

CORRECT GRIP MEASUREMENT
In order to determine the proper fastener grip, it is recommended to measure the structure
thickness at the hole-location with the CherryMAX® (269C3) grip gage (see below).

THE ACTUAL GRIP IN 1/16THS IS STAMPED ON THE HEADS OF ALL CHERRY SERRATED RIVETS

The gradations on the measuring end represent the grip of the fastener to be selected; the in-
between gradations represent even grips (2, 4, 6 etc.).

GRIP GAGE USE

1. Place gage into the prepared hole. Make
sure the hook end is on the blind side, outside
the hole.
2. Touch blind end. Bring the hook-end close to .032
the edge of the hole (see picture) and pull the .062
gage towards the blind end of the structure
until the hook contacts the structure. Measurement 1
3. Read the grip of the fastener to use. The .094
reading should be done at the visible surface
of the structure; if the structure is dimpled or
countersunk, measure to the surface of the
structure and not to the dimpled/countersunk.
4. Select the fastener with a grip equal to the READ

or the next higher one. Measurement 2

•M  easurement 3 is a typical dimpled structure
Measurement 3
for a flush installation. The correct grip to be
selected is 05 (the reading is between 4 and 5).

11
PROPER SEALANT APPLICATION
Correct blind rivet installation
is achieved by correct balance
of installation forces as well
as encountering some reaction
from the structure. It is why
correct hole preparation and
proper clamping of the structure
is critical for trouble free
installation.
Sealant is incompressible, so
when applied inside the hole it
causes increased installation
friction, potentially resulting Apply
in low-stem installations. DO NOT apply sealant here
If used in between the sealant to these ONLY
structure sheets, special care areas
should be taken clamping the
structure and using as many
temporary fasteners as possible
to ensure proper structure
rigidity. Any sealant should be
cleaned from inside the holes.
When used on the fastener, it
should ONLY be applied around
the rivet head (see illustration). It is critical that the sealant does not touch the exposed areas of
the stem.
If sealant is incorrectly applied, two types of failures may occur:
• Stem breaks high or pulls through because sealant applied on the blind side
decreased friction.
• Stem breaks low because sealant was applied inside the hole increasing friction or too much
sealant was applied in between the structure sheets improperly clamping it, causing the joint
to soften significantly.
In either case, the rivets must be removed and replaced.

12
RIVET SHAVING
Typically, flush fasteners install essentially
flush break
flush with the aircraft skin so shaving the
stem is not normally necessary.
However, in case of tighter flushness
requirements, the stem may be shaved down
to the top of the rivet sleeve. Caution: Shaving
into the rivet head is not allowed!
Before shaving, make sure that the stem
protrusion is within the acceptable limits; a fastener having a stem protrusion higher than the
acceptable limits must be removed and replaced, and not shaved in order to meet the flushness
requirements.

INSPECTION OF INSTALLED
CHERRYMAX ® FASTENERS
Inspection for the proper installation of CherryMAX® rivets is usually done from the visible side
of the structure. Keep in mind that if your company has an internal inspection procedure, it will
take precedence over the instructions provided in this document.
Typically, the following should be checked:
• Check if the correct rivet type, diameter (nominal or oversize) and grip size were used.
• Check for head deformation or gaps under the head.
• Check the stem protrusion and locking collar mfg. Identification

RIVET INSTALLATION
TROUBLESHOOTING
When the instructions contained in this manual are carefully
followed, the CherryMAX® fasteners should install without any
problems.
To ensure optimum operation, make sure that the pulling heads
and jaws are in good working condition:
• Clean (free from chips, burrs and dry sealant)
• Properly serviced and adjusted
• Are free from signs of wear
Use the following troubleshooting guide if installation
issues arise.

PROBLEM: RIVET STEM BREAKS HIGH (OVER “A”

MAX) OR FAILS TO BREAK
Source of the problem: Rivet installed in an oversized hole.
Double check the hole sizes and use correct drill size for rivet to be
installed.

15
RIVET INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: RIVET STEM BREAKS LOW
(OVER “B” MAX)
Source of the problem:
A. Poor hole preparation
• Undersize hole—enlarge the holes to proper size.
• The hole is slanted, misshapen or misaligned—follow
carefully the “hole-preparation” techniques given in this
manual.
B. Wrong grip selection (rivet too short). Use a longer grip rivet.
C. The joint is too soft—make sure that the structure is
securely clamped, enough temporary fasteners are used
and, if using sealant, it is applied correctly.
D. Tool not coaxial to the hole during installation. Make sure
to align the tool and keep arm flexible to avoid side loading
the fastener.

PROBLEM: GAP UNDER THE RIVET HEAD

Source of the problem:
A. Poor hole preparation
• The holes are slanted or misaligned.
• The countersink is not coaxial with the hole.
Fix: re-drill the holes carefully following the techniques given
in this manual.
B. Tool held slanted during installation, Hold the tool in a
flexible manner and try to keep coaxial to the hole to avoid
side loading.

TOOL TROUBLESHOOTING
Cherry installation tools are manufactured to give maximum service with minimum care. In order
to accomplish this, follow these basic recommendations.
1. The tools must be “bled” and serviced regularly (see tool manuals for details).
2. Regulated, clean and dry air should be used; dirty or moist air will cause premature wear.
3. Do not pound on the rear of the tool head to force rivets into holes, as this will damage the
tool.
4. Make sure the pulling head is correctly and securely attached.

PNEUMATIC TOOLS
1.Check air supply: Make sure the riveter is 1 2 3
connected and that the air pressure is within
the recommended range (90 To 110 PSI).
2. Bleed the air out: Use 700A77 filled with
Transmission Fluid (ATF) per tool manual
instructions. 29
3. Check for fluid leaks:
A. Fluid leaks around the cap screws 2 at the
head indicates that the screws are loose or 34
the washer gaskets 3 need replacing.
B. A fluid leak through the by-pass hole at the
base of the handle 34 indicates that the
internal seals are worn or damaged.
C. A Fluid leak from the front of the head 1

indicates that piston seals are worn or 45

damaged.
5. Check valve 45 for air leakage: if air leaks
without depressing trigger 29 the trigger valve seals are worn out or damaged.
6. Check piston stroke: If the piston is stuck back or it is short of stroke, the tool must be
serviced.
7. Check tool speed: If it is slow to respond, the muffler or air filter inside spool 45 may be
clogged with dirt. Clean thoroughly with normal solvent and back- blow with compressed air.

23
HAND RIVETERS
The G800 riveter was designed to be robust and require minimum troubleshooting and
maintenance.
In order to keep it in optimum operating condition, inspect routinely for leaks and damage and
check the fluid level. Please refer to the tool manual for more detailed troubleshooting tips and
service instructions.
Problem: The stem of the fastener to be installed won’t fit
• Make sure the correct pulling head is used, and that it is properly adjusted (the jaws should
free the broken stem when the side button is depressed).
• Check for jammed stems inside the jaws; press the side button to properly eject the stem.
Problem: The stems will not break to
complete the installation
• Check the jaws- replace or clean them as
necessary.
• Make sure that the proper pulling head and
optional components are used.
• Check the fluid level; replenish if low.
Problem: Nothing happens when I pump
• Check the fluid level –add fluid as needed.
• Re-adjust the pressure valve to increase
output load.
• Service or replace the pressure relief
valve; disassemble and clean thoroughly
the internal components; debris or
contamination in the fluid will cause the
internal valves to malfunction.

SERVICE ACCESSORIES:
THE 700A77 AIR BLEEDER
Bleeding the hydraulic system regularly is critical for optimum
tool service and extended tool life.
The 700A77 Cherry® air bleeder may be used on any of the
Cherry® power riveters and will quickly bleed the air and refill
the hydraulic system.

TOOL & REPAIR SERVICE

Regular service and maintenance of the riveters is critical for a
trouble free operation and for an extended tool life. In order to
service or repair the tools, you will need:
• Tool Kit: Contains all the special tools necessary to repair/
service the riveter. 700A77 Air Bleeder
• Service Kit: Includes all the seals, screws, gaskets and other NOTE: Only use Dextron III ATF
in Cherry® power riveters.
