DESCRIPTION
WARNING
:
The balance of this tool is designed for horizontal use and is not suited for any other applications. Gage Bilt will
be pleased to advise for your specific application.
The GB703SR8VT is a pneumatic-hydraulic split handle riveter designed specifically for the efficient installation of a wide range of
blind rivets. This tool’s unique "split" system provides the operator with a lightweight ergonomic tool. The head assembly when held
in hand weighs just 1.5 lbs. (.68 kg)! The entire split handle riveter weighs 11 lbs. (5 kg). It has a .800” (20.32 mm) rivet setting stroke.
The GB703SR8VT split handle riveter operates on a wide range of air pressure, with 90 to 100 psi. (6.2-6.9 bar) providing maximum
efficiency. At 90 psi. (6.2 bar), the GB703SR8VT does not exceed 81.5 dB (A) and consumes 3 cfm at 20 cycles per minute.
The GB703SR8VT comes with 8 feet of hose.
The air inlet is provided with 1/4-18 female pipe threads for accepting the user's air hose fitting.
THE GB703SRVT IS SOLD RIVET SPECIFIC. PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 14 TO PULL ANY RIVETS OTHER THAN WHAT TOOL WAS
PURCHASED FOR.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Maintenance personnel
MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
WARNING
:
Disconnect tool from its power source before performing maintenance.
WARNING
:
Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.
WARNING:
Dispose of Hydraulic Oil in accordance with applicable regulations.
WARNING:
Read MSDS documents for all applicable materials.
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal requirements for service and care
will extend the life of your tool.
*Only use an air supply set at 90-100 psi (6.2-6.9 bar) equipped with a filter-regulator to prevent wear.
*The tool will eventually lose some hydraulic oil. Keep the hydraulic system full (only use Dexron III, or equivalent) and free of air by
using the air bleeder assy (704153) on a weekly basis.
*Proper care by operator is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime. Read all applicable tool manuals
and nose assembly data sheets prior to operating tools.
*Keep nose assemblies, especially jaws, clean and free of chips and debris. Lube jaws and collet surfaces that jaws ride on with
light machine oil on a daily basis.
*All Screwed End Caps, Base Covers, Air Fittings, Actuators, Screws and Nose Assemblies are to be examined at the end of each
working shift to check that they are secure.
*Check tool, all hoses and all couplings daily for damage or air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if necessary).
*For a complete overhaul, tool kit (GB704TK) is recommended.
HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe dope is
recommended.
CAUTION:
Teflon tape is an excellent thread sealer, however, if it is not properly applied, pieces of
Teflon may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or damage. Use 1 1/2 wraps of tape on each thread.
Cut off all loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then go 1/2 to a full turn past that point.
CAUTION:
Over tightening can easily distort the threads.
