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.

Read SDS documents for all applicable materials.
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING PROCEDURE
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.

tool
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.
Note:
Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with manufacture safety datasheet.
All tool materials are recyclable except rubber o’rings, seals and wipers.
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal requirements daily will extend the
life of your tool.
*Only use a clean dry air supply set at 90-100 p.s.i. (6.2-6.9 bar) Max. equipped with a filter-regulator to prevent wear.
* Check tool and nose assembly for damage. (Replace/Repair if necessary). See Overhaul for tool repair.
* Inspect hoses and couplings for wear, damage and leaks. (Replace/Repair if necessary).
* Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings, air and electrical connections are secure. Tighten, Replace or Repair if necessary
* Cycle the tool several times to assure there are no leaks during use.
* Keep hydraulic system free of dirt.
* 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.
* For a complete overhaul, maintenance tool kit (GB784TK) is recommended (see pg. 13).
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Keep the hydraulic system full (only use Dexron III or equivalent) and free of air by using the air bleeder assy (704153) on a weekly basis
or as needed. (See Filling and Bleeding).
