HOW TO SET
-
UP THE GB947
It is recommended that, prior to each use, an inspection be done by qualified personnel and that any missing or damaged parts be
replaced with factory authorized parts only. Any valve that appears to be damaged in any way, is worn, leaking or operating abnormally
must be removed from service immediately until such time as repairs can be made.
Avoid the use of extension cords. If necessary, for extension cords lengths up to 25 ft (7.6 m), use SJT
-
14X3 or heavier. For cords up to 50 ft.
(15.2 m), use SJT
-
12X3 or heavier. For extension cord lengths up to 100 ft. (30.4 m), use SJT
-
10X3 or heavier. NEVER use a 3 prong adapter.
To avoid electrocution hazard connect ONLY to a properly grounded source. Connect to GFI outlet ONLY.
1. Clean area around the air vent seat (oil reservoir cap) (946021) before filling reservoir with hydraulic oil. Note: Unit is shipped
without
oil.
2. Remove air vent seat (oil reservoir cap) (946021).
3.
Using a clean funnel fill reservoir with DEXRON® III or equivalent to 2.00 inches (50.8 mm) from the bottom of the reservoir cover.
4.
Replace air vent seat (oil reservoir cap) (946021).
5.
Connect the PULL pressure hose to the PULL pressure output coupler. Note: Couplings must be clean and free of dirt.
6. Connect the RETURN pressure hose to the RETURN pressure output coupler. Note: Couplings must be clean and free of dirt.
7. Check tool manual for recommended hydraulic pressures. Set pressures accordingly using pressure setting gage assembly (942280)
(sold separately). See page 9 & 10 of this manual.
8.
Plug the control cord from the tool into the two pronged socket on the Powerunit.
9. Turn power on and cycle the pump (with tool attached) several times while examining tool and pump for any hydraulic leaks.
Re
-
check the oil level in the reservoir with the tool in the (RETURN) position.
10. Turn pump off. Disconnect the GB947 Powerunit from the power supply. Installation tool is ready for user to attach an applicable
nose assembly. Note: See tool manual for complete list of nose assemblies. See nose assembly data sheet for installation.
WARNING:
Only qualified and trained operators shall install, adjust or use the assembly power tool for non
-
threaded
mechanical fasteners.
WARNING:
Operator
MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
WARNING:
It is required that eye protection, hearing protection and safety boots be worn at all times while handling this
equipment.
WARNING:
The users or the user
’
s employer must assess specific risks that could be present before each use based on
their application.
●
Ensure there is adequate clearance for tool and operator's hands before proceeding. Keep fingers clear of any
moving parts. Keep fingers clear from fasteners and installed materials. Severe personal injury may result.
●
Verify the air lines and/or hydraulic hoses are not a trip hazard.
●
Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can cause a hazard if damaged by the tool
.
●
Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings, air and electrical connections are secure before each use.
WARNING:
Do not carry from hoses.
WARNING:
Do not use in explosive atmosphere.
WARNING:
Ensure air hose is securely connected to avoid possible hose whipping.
WARNING:
Always disconnect air supply, where applicable, when tool is not in use to prevent accidental start
-
up.
WARNING:
Do not operate when recommended pressures are exceeded as it could cause severe personal injury and or
damage the equipment.
WARNING:
Use only Gage Bilt hydraulic hoses and couplings, or equivalent, rated for 10,000 psi. (689.5 bar) working pressure.
WARNING:
Proper PULL and RETURN pressures are important for proper function of installation tools. Severe personal injury
or damage to equipment may occur without correct pressures. Pressure gage assembly (942280) is available for
checking these pressures. Set pressures per instructions furnished with applicable hydraulic installation tool
instruction manual. See
“
setting pressures.
”
WARNING:
Hydraulic powerunits that deliver high pressure for both PULL & RETURN and are not equipped with relief valves
are specifically not recommended, and may be dangerous.
WARNING:
Gage Bilt does not recommend making adjustments without using the pressure gage assembly (942280).
CAUTION:
Do not use beyond the design intent.
CAUTION:
The pump is shipped without oil in the reservoir. Do not operate the pump without sufficient oil in the reservoir,
instant damage to the pump will occur if ignored.
CAUTION:
Guard against exceeding above 60°C (140°F). Various commercial thermometers are available to monitor oil
temperature in the reservoir. Continuous operation with reservoir oil temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F) can
cause permanent damage to the pump.
CAUTION:
Keep dirt and other foreign matter out of hydraulic systems of tools, hoses, couplers and powerunit. Do not let
hose fittings and couplers contact a dirty floor or unclean working surface. Foreign matter in hydraulic oil may
cause the tool and the powerunits valves to malfunction.
