DESCRIPTION
The GB743SRVT 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 handle and head assembly when held in hand weighs just 2.25 lbs (.80 kg)! The entire split handle riveter weighs
7 1/4 lbs. (3.29kg) It has a .900” (22.86mm) rivet setting stroke.
The GB743SRVT split handle riveter operates on a wide range of air pressure, with 90 to 100 psi. (6.2-6.9 bar) provid-
ing maximum efficiency. At 90 psi. (6.2 bar) air pressure, the GB743SRVT does not exceed 81.5 dB (A) and consumes
3 cfm at 20 cycles per minute.
The GB743SRVT comes with 3 feet of hose and a vacuum system, please consult our engineering department for spe-
cific applications.
The air inlet has a 1/4-18 female pipe threads for accepting the user's air hose fitting.
THE GB743SRVT IS ORDERED RIVET SPECIFIC. TO CHANGE TOOL OVER TO INSTALL OTHER RIVETS, SEE
CHARTS ON PAGES 10 & 11 FOR PART NUMBERS.
UNLESS ORDERED RIVET SPECIFIC (I.E. GB743SR/8N), THE STANDARD GB743SRVT IS FURNISHED WITH NOSE ASSEM-

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 not properly applied, pieces may enter the hydraulic system and cause
malfunction and 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
:
Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.
WARNING:
Maintenance personnel
MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
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 and free of air by
using the air bleeder ass’y (704153) on a regular 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.
*Check daily all Hoses, Couplings, and Tools for damage or air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if necessary).
*For a complete overhaul, tool kit GB704TK is recommended.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATING PROCEDURE
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.
1. Disconnect tool vacuum line (if equipped).
2. Point nose assembly into oil as shown (Fig. A).
3. Cycle tool 8-10 times and wipe dry.
