500SH INSTALLATION TOOL
S/N 1004 AND ABOVE
PLEASE CONTACT GAGE BILT FOR ALL OTHER SERIAL NUMBERS.
To replace a small amount of oil in the tool, connect tool to air line, to ensure piston rod assembly (745347) is at top of stroke. Follow
steps 1
-
10 on pg. 12. Should it become necessary to completely refill the tool (such as would be required after tool has been dismantled
and reassembled), follow all steps for both filling and bleeding procedures on both pages 11 & 12.
1.
Ensure air piston assembly (744121) is at the bottom of stroke by pushing piston rod assembly (745347) down, piston assembly
(206129) should be at end of stroke.
2. Fill power cylinder (745345) and oil passage to the top, where o
’
ring (S832) sits.
3. Place gasket (745124) and o'ring (S832) on top of the handle assembly (744129).
4. Install manifold
-
handle (745303
-
1), carefully install button head cap screws (A
-
928), tighten evenly. Torque to 40 inch lbs.
5. With hydraulic hoses (A
-
1668) attached to cylinder machined (204300
-
4), attach hydraulic hoses (A
-
1437) to female coupler (2X)
(A
-
1624). Then attach hydraulic hoses (A
-
1437) to swivel assembly (204304) (2X) on the manifold
-
handle (745303
-
1) and attach
hydraulic hoses (A
-
1668) to (A
-
1624) female coupler (2X).
6. Stretch tool out horizontally and lay flat on table or floor.
7. Attach fill bottle (745263), to bleeder hole marked "P" on manifold handle (745303
-
1).
8. Attach air bleeder assembly (704153), to the pressure side, marked "P" on the rear of cylinder machined (204300
-
4).
9. Squeeze fill bottle (745263) on manifold
-
handle (745303
-
1) until no air rises into air bleeder assembly (704153). Remove fill bottle
(745263) & air bleeder assembly (704153) and install button head cap screws (402482) and stat
-
o
-
seals (S572). (Do not over tighten).
CAUTION:
Do not cycle tool without button head cap screws (402482) or fill bottle (745263) & air bleeder assembly (704153) installed in tool.
10. Repeat steps 7
-
9 using the return pressure holes, (the bleeder hole marked
“
R
”
on manifold
-
handle (745303
-
1) and hole marked "R"
on rear of cylinder machined (204300
-
4).
FILLING PROCEDURE
WARNING:
Do not cycle tool without air bleeder assembly (704153), or the screw and stat
-
o
-
seal, installed in tool head. Severe
personal injury could result.
CAUTION:
Before filling handle assembly (744129), air piston assembly (744121) should be all the way down.
CAUTION:
When forcing piston rod assembly (745347) downward, with cylinder machined (204300
-
4) removed, hydraulic oil
will eject forcibly from handle assembly (744129).
CAUTION:
When bleeding tool, ensure tubing is free from kinks or other obstructions.
CAUTION:
Use CAUTION when removing screws, air bleeder assembly (704153) and fill bottle (745263). Hydraulic oil may be
under pressure.

IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 545 or equivalent or a non
-
hardening Teflon® thread
compound such as Slic
-
tite®. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then continue to tighten 1/2 to 1 full turn.
CAUTION:
Over tightening
can easily distort the threads. DO NOT USE TEFLON® TAPE.
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 a malfunction or damage.
