procedures in this manual.
SYSTEM INSPECTION
Operating efficiency of the installation tool is directly
related to performance of the complete system,
including the tool with nose assembly, hydraulic
hoses, trigger and control cord, and POWERIG.
Therefore, an effective preventive maintenance pro-
gram includes scheduled inspections of the system to
detect and correct minor troubles.
1. Inspect tool and nose for external damage.
2. Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings
and electrical connections are secure.
3. Inspect hydraulic hose for signs of damage or
aging. Replace hoses if damaged.
.4. Inspect tool, hose, and POWERIG during operation
to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or vibration.
POWERIG MAINTENANCE
Maintenance instructions and repair procedures are in
the appropriate POWERIG Instruction Manual.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
At regular intervals, depending on use, replace all O-
rings and back-up rings in the tool. Spare Parts Kit
SFBTT15KIT
should be kept on hand. Inspect cylin-
der bore, piston and piston rod and unloading valve
for scored surfaces, excessive wear or damage, and
replace as necessary.
NOSE ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
Daily cleaning of the nose assembly is recommended.
This can usually he accomplished by dipping nose
assembly in mineral spirits, or other suitable solvent,
to clean jaws and wash away metal chips and dirt. If
more thorough cleaning or maintenance is necessary,
disassemble the nose assembly. Use a sharp pointed
“pick” to remove imbedded particles from the pull
grooves of the jaws.
CAUTIONS:
- Consult MSDS before servicing tool.
- Keep dirt and other material out of
hydraulic system.
- Separated parts most be kept away
from dirty work surfaces.
- Dirt/debris in hydraulic fluid causes
Dump Valve failure in Tool and in POW-
ERIG® Hydraulic Unit’s valves.
- Always check tool assembly drawing
for the proper direction of the flats on
the Dump Valve.
CAUTION: Always replace seals, wipers,
and back-up rings when tool is disassem-
bled for any reason.
CAUTION: Do not use TEFLON® tape on
pipe threads. Pipe threads may cause tape
to shred resulting in tool malfunction.
