DESCRIPTION
WARNING
:
The balance of this tool is designed for vertical use and is not ergonomically best suited
for all applications. Gage Bilt will be pleased to advise for your specific application.
The GB752SR 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 2.00 lbs! (.91kg) The entire
split handle riveter weighs 7.00 lbs. (3.18 kg). It has a .500 (12.7 mm) rivet setting stroke.
The GB752SR 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) air pressure, the GB752SR does not exceed 81.5 db (A) and
consumes 3 cfm at 20 cycles per minute.
The GB752SR comes with 3 feet of hose. Hoses can be attached in the top rear or the bottom of the
split handle depending on the application. Vacuum systems are available for this tool, please consult our
engineering department for specific applications.
The air inlet has a 1/4-18 female pipe threads for accepting the user's air hose fitting.
NOSE ASSEMBLIES ARE NOT FURNISHED WITH THIS TOOL AND MUST BE ORDERED SEPARATELY.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATING PROCEDURE
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
:
Excessive contact with hydraulic fluid 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
(only use Dexron III, or
equivalent)
and free of air by using the air bleeder ass’y (704153 &745163) 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.
*All Screwed End Caps, Base Covers, Air Fittings, Actuator, 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 GB740TK 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.
