The efficiency and life of your tool depends on proper
maintenance. Please read this section completely
before proceeding with maintenance and repair. Use
proper hand tools in a clean and well-lighted area.
Only standard hand tools are required in most cases.
Where a special tool is required, the description and
part number are given.
•
While clamping tool or parts in a vise, and when
parts require force, use suitable soft materials to
cushion impact. For example, using a half-inch brass
drift, wood block and vise with soft jaws greatly
reduces possibility of damaging tool. Remove
components in a straight line without bending,
cocking or undue force. Reassemble tool with the
same care.

System Inspection
Operating efficiency of the tool is directly related to
the performance of the complete system, including the
tool with nose assembly, hydraulic hoses, trigger and
control cord, and POWERIG. Therefore, an effective
preventive maintenance program includes scheduled
inspections of the system to detect and correct minor
troubles. At the beginning of each shift/day:
• Inspect tool and nose assembly for external damage .
• Verify that hydraulic hose fittings, couplings, and
electrical connections are secure .
• Inspect hydraulic hoses for damage and deterioration .
Do not use hoses to carry tool. Replace hoses if
damaged .
• Observe tool, hoses, and hydraulic unit during
operation to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or
vibration .
• Max hydraulic fluid contamination level: NAS 1638
class 9, or ISO CODE 18/15, or SAE level 6.
Powerig Maintenance
Maintenance instructions and repair procedures are
in the appropriate POWERIG Instruction Manual .
Tool Maintenance
Whenever disassembled and also at regular intervals
(depending on severity and length of use), replace
all seals, wipers, and back-up rings in tool . Service
Kits, hoses, and extra parts should be kept in stock .
Inspect cylinder bore, pistons, and piston rods for
scored surfaces and excessive wear or damage .
Replace as necessary .
Nose Assembly Maintenance
Clean nose assembly often. Dip in mineral spirits or
similar solvent to clean puller and wash away metal
chips and debris . At regular intervals, as experience
shows, disassemble nose and use a sharp “pick” to
remove imbedded particles from grooves of puller .
