DESCRIPTION
WARNING
:
The balance of this tool is designed for horizontal use and is not suited for any other applications. Gage Bilt will
be pleased to advise for your specific application.
The GB703VT is a pneumatic-hydraulic tool designed specifically for the efficient installation of a wide range of blind rivets. It weighs
5.50 lbs. (2.49 kg) and can be operated in any position with one hand. It has a .780" (19.81 mm) rivet setting stroke and a rated pull
load of 2,200 (9.79 kN) lbs. with 90 psi (6.2 bar) air pressure at the air inlet.
The GB703VT riveter operates on a wide range of air pressure, with 90 to 100 psi (6.2-6.9 bar) providing the maximum efficiency. At 90
lbs. (6.2 bar) air pressure, the GB703VT does not exceed 81.5 dB (A) and consumes 3 cfm at 20 cycles a minute.
The air inlet is provided with 1/4-18 female pipe threads to accept the users air hose fitting.
THE GB703VT IS SOLD RIVET SPECIFIC. PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 14 TO PULL ANY RIVETS OTHER THAN WHAT TOOL WAS

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Maintenance personnel
MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
WARNING
:
Disconnect tool from its power source before performing maintenance.
WARNING
:
Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.
WARNING:
Dispose of Hydraulic Oil in accordance with applicable regulations.
WARNING:
Read MSDS documents for all applicable materials.
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal requirements for service and care
will extend the life of your tool.
*Only use an air supply set at 90-100 psi (6.2-6.9 bar) equipped with a filter-regulator to prevent wear.
*The tool will eventually lose some hydraulic oil. 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.
*Proper care by operator is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime. Read all applicable tool manuals and
nose assembly data sheets prior to operating tools.
*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.
*Check tool, all hoses and all couplings daily for damage or air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if necessary).
*For a complete overhaul, tool kit GB704TK is recommended.
