CLEANING AND LUBRICATING PROCEDURE
Image may
not reflect
actual tool
CLEANING
Clean nose daily or as often as needed.
1. Dip into mineral spirits or similar solvent to
clean jaws and wash away metal chips and debris.
2. Disassemble nose and use a sharp “pick” to
removed embedded particles from grooves of jaws.
LUBRICATING
Lubricate nose after each cleaning and as
often as needed
1. Disconnect tool vacuum line (if equipped).
2. Point nose assembly into oil as shown.
3. Cycle tool 8-10 times and wipe dry.
Daily cleaning and lubrication of nose assembly will greatly reduce downtime and increase life of components. Using sewing
machine oil, or an equivalent cleaner/lubricant, follow instructions below.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
WARNING
:
Tool must be maintained in a safe working condition at all times and examined on a daily basis for damage or
wear. Any repair should be done by qualified personnel trained on Gage Bilt procedures.
WARNING
:
Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.
WARNING:
Maintenance personnel
MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
WARNING
:
Disconnect tool from its power source before performing maintenance, cleaning or when replacing worn or
damaged components. Severe personal injury may occur if power source is not disconnected.
WARNING:
Read SDS documents for all applicable materials.
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal requirements daily will extend the
life of your tool.
*Check tool and nose assembly for damage. (Replace/Repair if necessary). See Overhaul for tool repair.
*Inspect all hoses and couplings for wear, damage and leaks. Replace/Repair if necessary. (
See hydraulic thread preparation pg.9)
*Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings, air and electrical connections are secure. Tighten, Replace or Repair if necessary
(
See hydraulic thread preparation pg.9)
*Cycle the tool several times to assure there are no leaks during use.
* Do not use as a hammer to force fasteners into holes or otherwise abuse tool.
* Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime.
*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, Air Actuators, Screws and Nose Assemblies are to be examined at the end of
each working shift to check that they are secure.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
* Keep the hydraulic system full and free of air by using the air bleeder (704153) on a weekly basis. (See Bleeding Procedure pg. 10).
