DESCRIPTION
WARNING
:
The balance of the tool is designed for horizontal use and is not suited for any other application. Gage Bilt will be
pleased to advise for your specific application.
The GB713SH is a pneumatic-hydraulic split handle riveter designed specifically for the efficient installation of a wide range of blind
rivets. This tool’s unique "split" system provides the operator with a lightweight ergonomic tool. The handle and head assy when held in
hand weighs just 2.50 lbs (1.1 kg)! The entire split handle riveter weighs 7.50 lbs. (3.4 kg). It has a .620” (19.3 mm) rivet setting stroke.
The GB713SH split handle riveter operates on a wide range of air pressure, with 90 to 100 psi. (6.2-6.9 bar) providing maximum
efficiency. At 90 psi. (6.2 bar) air pressure, the GB713SH does not exceed 81.5 dB (A) and consumes 3 cfm at 20 cycles per minute.
The GB713SH comes with 8 feet of hose. Vacuum systems are available for this tool, please consult our engineering department for
specific applications.
The air inlet has a 1/4-18 female pipe threads for accepting the user's air hose fitting.
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 all environmental regulations applicable in your area.
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 p.s.i. (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, 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 (GB740TK) is recommended.
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING PROCEDURE
Daily cleaning and lubrication of nose assembly will greatly reduce
downtime and increase life of components. Using sewing machine oil,
or an equivalent cleaner/lubricant, follow instructions below.
1. Disconnect tool vacuum line (if equipped).
2. Point nose assembly into oil as shown.
3. Cycle tool 8-10 times and wipe dry.
HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe dope is
recommended.
CAUTION:
Teflon tape is an excellent thread sealer, however, if it is not properly applied, pieces of
Teflon may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or damage. Use 1 1/2 wraps of tape on each thread.
Cut off all loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then go 1/2 to a full turn past that point.
CAUTION:
Over tightening can easily distort the threads.
