b) Any oil leaking externally should be traced to its source. An o'ring or seal that leaks should be replaced.

5. AIR BYPASS FROM VALVE HOUSING

a) If the spring (744144) breaks or dislodges, air will flow freely through the muffler (744143). Replace or reset. Valve spring

installation tool (744251) is recommended.

b) Check o'rings on valve sleeve (743144), valve spool assy (743142), and valve plug (744142). If worn or damaged, replace.

Valve sleeve removal tool (744152) is recommended.

6. FASTENER STEM JAMMED IN NOSE ASSEMBLY

a) Nose assembly components require service.

DISCONNECT AIR FROM TOOL

, remove the nose from the tool and

disassemble. Replace worn or broken parts. Clean the surface the jaws ride on.

b) Stems lodged side by side in the follower. Disassemble, remove stems, and reassemble.

c) Incorrect follower.

OVERHAUL

WARNING

Disconnect tool from its air source before performing overhaul.

WARNING

Tool must be maintained in a safe working condition at all times and examined on a regular daily basis for

damage or wear. Any repair should be done by qualified personnel trained on Gage Bilt procedures.

WARNING

When operating, repairing or overhauling tool, wear approved eye protection. Do not look in Front of tool or

rear of tool when installing fastener.

WARNING:

Depress air actuator assy and disconnect from air, with the piston in the rear position, before overhaul.

Severe personal injury may occur if air hose is not disconnected.

USE CAUTION

when forcing piston

rod assy downward with head cylinder removed. Hydraulic oil will eject forcibly from handle assy.

The disassembly and re-assembly procedure can be accomplished by utilizing the following instructions and drawings.  Use extreme
care during disassembly and re-assembly not to mar or nick any smooth surface that comes in contact with seals.  Before installing
seals,  always apply a good lubricant, such as Lubriplate®, to the surfaces.  It is recommended that tool kit (GB745TK) be used to
facilitate overhaul. A complete overhaul can be achieved by the use of Service Kit (745017) which contains a complete set of o'rings,
back-up rings, screws, washers and gasket.
