Working with the Installation tool (GB108A):
Insert the mandrel of the fastener into the nose assembly.
Note: Tool will not function without the mandrel collection bottle (VP1002) or cover cap (VP1321) attached.
Now insert the fastener into the parts to be fastened. For a good fastening result, ensure that the parts and head of the fastener are
resting on one another without a gap.
Press the actuator assy (VP1316) until the mandrel is sheared.
Hold the installation tool so that the mandrel collection bottle (VP1002) is facing downwards to ensure that the sheared mandrel
drops into the mandrel collection bottle (VP1002).
When working with the cover cap (VP1321), hold the installation tool with the nose assy facing downwards after each set fastener to
ensure that the sheared mandrel drops out of the installation tool to the front. DO NOT use cover cap (VP1321) with non self
releasing nose assemblies. This would result in damage to the tool.
