• Each Service Kit contains perishable parts for your
specific tool. As foreseeable use may indicate, keep
extra kits (O-rings, Back-up Rings, other standard
items) and tool parts in stock. When stock is depleted,
you can get kit items from any regular retailer of
these items. See kit parts list for: O-ring size (AS568-
number); material; durometer. For kit parts lists and

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
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 contamination level: NAS 1638 class 9, or ISO
CODE 18/15, or SAE level 6.
POWERIG MAINTENANCE
Refer to the applicable POWERIG instruction manual.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
Whenever disassembled and 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.
