6. Check that the means of protection from ejection of fastener and/or stem is in place can then be used to support the tool. and operative (such as the deflector). 7. Forcible ejection of the mandrel from the front of the nose assembly is possible. GB2628 INSTALLATION TOOL REV. 6/17...
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION When the tool is connected to a hydraulic powerunit, operation is controlled by an electric actuator (240122) (GB2628) or a piloted air actuator (240123) (GB2628A) in the handle. When the actuator is depressed, a directional valve in the hydraulic powerunit directs oil to the front side of the piston forcing it and the internal component in the nose assembly rear-ward.
1. Set hydraulic power unit to the recommended pressure, 7,400 psi (510.2bar) Max. for the pull and 3,200 psi (220.6 bar) Max. for the return. Gage Bilt pressure gage assy (942280) (sold separately) is recommended to aid in this procedure. “See hydraulic power unit manual for correct procedure when adjusting pressures”.
Do not operate when recommended pressures are exceeded as it could cause severe personal injury and or damage the equipment. WARNING: Use only Gage Bilt hydraulic hoses and couplings, or equivalent, rated for 10,000 psi. (689.5 bar) working pressure. CAUTION: Do not use beyond the design intent.
WARNING: Tool must be maintained in a safe working condition at all times and examined on a daily basis for damage or wear. Any repair should be done by qualified personnel trained on Gage Bilt procedures. WARNING: Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.
Spent fastener stem may be jammed in pulling head. Disassemble and check for worn or broken parts in nose assembly. Replace defective parts and clean before reassembling. b.) Verify Tool and Nose Assembly are correct for fastener. GB2628 INSTALLATION TOOL REV. 6/17...
Coat hose fitting threads with a non-hardening Teflon thread compound such as Loctite 5113 (Gage Bilt part no. 403237). (See hydraulic thread preparation pg.10). Apply hot glue to wire connections to ensure wires DO NOT contact each other or handle assy.
