760 FXP Power Drive
• An appropriate method to withstand all handle forces
must be developed
(See “Resisting Threading Forces”
section)
. Forces could exceed 1000 lbs. (455 kg). Sup-
port devices can be placed against the gear housing of
the 760 FXP Power Drive
(Figure 1).
• Always keep the power drive against the support device
– do not place body parts between the power drive and
the support device.
• There should be no relative movement between the
power drive and the support device during use.
• Confirm that the application (such as operating or exer-
cising a valve) is free to turn, not jammed and that the
ends of travel are known. If the system jams or goes
solid during use, handle forces will increase abruptly
and significantly or the power drive may rotate.
• If using to exercise or operate valves or other equip-
ment, follow all equipment manufacturer instructions.
Do not overload the equipment.
• Use such that the power drive reaction force pulls away
from the user.
• Release the ON/OFF switch at any time to shut off the
power drive. Make sure that you are able to release the
ON/OFF switch.
Storage
Remove battery from the 760 FXP Power
Drive. Power Drive and battery must be kept dry and
indoors or well covered if kept outdoors. Avoid storing in
extreme heat or cold. Store the machine in a locked area
that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with
Power Drive. This machine can cause serious injury in
the hands of untrained users. Refer to the battery/charger
manual.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is released and
battery is removed from tool before performing
maintenance or making any adjustment.
Maintain tool according to these procedures to
reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, en-
tanglement and other causes.
Cleaning
1. After each use, empty the threading chips from the
418 Oiler chip tray and wipe out any oil residue.
2. Wipe off any oil, grease, chips or dirt from the power
drive, including the handles and controls. Clean the die
head retaining mechanism.
WARNING
3. Wipe off any oil, grease or dirt from the support arm. If
required, clean the support arm jaws with a wire brush
and lubricate feedscrew thread with light lubricating oil.
Wipe any excess oil from exposed surfaces.
4. Remove chips and dirt from die heads.
Changing Dies in Die Heads
Due to the threading speed exceeding 40 rpm, RIDGID
High Speed dies are recommended for use with the 760
FXP Power Drive. Use of Alloy dies may result in reduced
die life, poor thread quality, or reduced tool performance.
A variety of dies are available for installation in RIDGID
11-R or 12-R Die Heads.
See catalog
for availability.
Remove the four screws from cover and remove the cover
plate.
1. Remove the old dies from the die head.
2. Insert new dies into slots – numbered edge up. Num-
bers on the dies must correspond with those on the
die head slots. Always replace dies as a set.
Figure 17 – Installing Dies In Die Head
3. Replace the cover plate and tighten the four screws
lightly.
4. Place die head on already threaded pipe until dies
begin to thread. This forces stop on dies outward
against lugs on cover plate and properly sets the size.
5. Tighten the four screws securely. Remove the threaded
pipe and make a test cut.
