MUST
read and understand all warnings and cautions.
WARNING
:
Disconnect tool from its power source before performing maintenance, cleaning or when replacing worn or
damaged components. Severe personal injury may occur if power source is not disconnected.
WARNING:
Read material safety data sheet documents for all applicable materials.
WARNING:
Do not dry cycle or actuate tool without fastener in place. Damage to the nose assembly could occur.
WARNING:
When attaching nose assembly check that air supply is connected to the tool.
WARNING:
Incorrect stroke will damage the nose assembly.
Note:
•
Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with manufacture safety datasheet.
•
All tool materials are recyclable except rubber o
’

The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal requirements daily will extend the
life of your tool.
*Only use a clean dry air supply set at 90
-

-
6.9 bar) Max. equipped with a filter
-
regulator to prevent wear.
* Check tool and nose assembly for damage. (Replace/Repair if necessary). See Overhaul (pgs. 13
-
15) for tool repair.
* Inspect hoses and couplings for wear, damage and leaks. (Replace/Repair if necessary).
* Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings, air and electrical connections are secure. Tighten, Replace or Repair if necessary
* Cycle the tool several times to assure there are no leaks during use.
* Keep hydraulic system free of dirt.
* Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime.
* Keep nose assemblies, especially jaws, clean and free of chips and debris.
* 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.
* For a complete overhaul, service tool kit (GB704TK) is recommended (see overhaul pgs. 13
-

HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 545 or equivalent or a non
-
hardening Teflon® thread
compound such as Slic
-
tite®. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then continue to tighten 1/2 to 1 full turn.
CAUTION:
Over tightening
can easily distort the threads. DO NOT USE TEFLON® TAPE.
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.
