Lightly coat the outer surface of the Collet 2 jaws and the Anvil 1 bore with Moly Lithium grease. Clean the threaded end of the tool piston rod and apply two drops of Loctite® 243 threadlock to the middle of the threaded region. Fit appropriate Optional Spacer Ring(s) over placing tool piston rod. Screw Collet 2 fully onto the placing tool piston rod and lightly tighten using a spanner on the flats of Collet 2. Slide Anvil 1 over Collet 2 and push the expanded end of the Collet into the Anvil bore. Some force will be required to do this and so care should be taken to prevent pinching of hands – ideally wear protective gloves or cover the Anvil with a thick rag. Once the lugs of the Anvil 1 are resting against the end of the tool head, slide the Adaptor Ring 4, with its cut‐outs facing the tool, over the Anvil 1 and align so that the Collet lugs engage with the cut‐outs in the Adaptor Ring 4. Screw the Retaining Nut 3 onto the threaded end of the placing tool head and tighten with a spanner. Check that Collet 2 is positioned correctly within the Anvil 1. The opening in the centre of the Collet should be slightly larger than the NeoBolt pin pulling tail diameter and as a guide the Collet should protrude by about 4mm from the front face of the Anvil. (Excessive Collet protrusion will reduce the available tool stroke when installing NeoBolt fasteners close to minimum grip condition.) If the Collet opening is too small, additional spacing is required. If the Collet protrusion is too great, reduce the spacer thickness. Removal of the Anvil 1 and Collet 2 is the reverse procedure. For NeoBolt fastener sizes 3/8” ...

Optional Spacer Rings may be fitted here. 73200‐05003 (1mm) and 73200‐05004 (2mm). Fitting Instructions Item numbers in bold refer to nose assembly components in the tables and illustration above. Note that the Head Extension assembly 3 (Part No. 07220‐01500) is part of the placing tool (Part No. 07287‐00200). For optimum adjustment of the collet positioning Optional Spacer Rings (Part No. 73200‐05003 and 73200‐05004) are provided with each nose assembly. It is recommended that the 1mm thick ring (Part No. 73200‐05003) is used for the initial assembly, however more or less spacing may be required to suit the particular tool. Lightly coat the outer surface of the Collet 2 jaws and the Anvil 1 bore with Moly Lithium grease. Clean the threaded end of the tool piston rod and apply two drops of Loctite® 243 threadlock to the middle of the threaded region. Fit appropriate Optional Spacer Ring(s) over placing tool piston rod. Screw Collet 2 onto the placing tool piston rod until it reaches the end of the piston rod thread and lightly tighten using a spanner on the flats of Collet 2. Pull and then rotate the sprung outer sleeve of the Head Extension assembly 3 so that it reveals two open cut‐outs. Slide Anvil 1 over Collet 2 and push the expanded end of the Collet into the Anvil bore. Some force will be required to do ...
Check that Collet 2 is positioned correctly within the Anvil 1. The opening in the centre of the Collet should be slightly larger than the NeoBolt pin pulling tail diameter and as a guide the Collet should protrude by about 5mm from the front face of the Anvil. (Excessive Collet protrusion will reduce the available tool stroke when installing NeoBolt fasteners close to minimum grip condition.) If the Collet opening is too small, additional spacing is required. If the Collet protrusion is too great, reduce the spacer thickness. Removal of the Anvil 1 and Collet 2 is the reverse procedure. Servicing Instructions Nose assemblies should be serviced at weekly intervals. You should hold some stock of all internal components of the nose assembly as they will need regular replacement. Remove the nose assembly using the reverse procedure to the ‘Fitting Instructions’. Any worn or damaged part should be replaced. Clean and check wear on the Collet 2 jaws and the Anvil 1 bore. Clean and inspect components, renewing worn or damaged items. Re‐assemble according to the ‘Fitting Instructions’. ...
Putting Into Service Preparation for Use IMPORTANT – READ THE APPROPRIATE PLACING TOOL MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE PUTTING INTO SERVICE. PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT MAY OCCUR WITHOUT CORRECT AIR INLET PRESSURES. THE REGULATED AIR PRESSURES MUST NOT EXCEED THOSE PRESSURES LISTED IN THE PLACING TOOL SPECIFICATION FOR THE SPECIFIC SIZE OF FASTENER. IMPORTANT – BEFORE PUTTING THE TOOL INTO SERVICE: (nG3LB and 73200 tools) ENSURE THAT A SUITABLE AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR IS FITTED IN‐LINE WITH THE PLACING TOOL, THAT THE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT IS READILY ACCESSIBLE, AND THAT A PRESSURE DIAL GAUGE OR READOUT IS CLEARLY VISIBLE FOR SETTING. (07287 tools) ENSURE THAT THE INTERNAL AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR IS SET TO THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE AND THAT THE AIR SUPPLY CAN DELIVER SUFFICIENT FLOW RATE TO THE TOOL. Pressure Settings CAUTION ‐ CORRECT AIR PRESSURES ARE IMPORTANT FOR PROPER FUNCTION OF THE INSTALLATION TOOL AND FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE NeoBolt FASTENER. For correct installation of NeoBolt fasteners the air pressure for the specified placing tool must be set as stated in the table below. NEOBOLT PLACING TOOL AIR PRESSURE SETTING (bar) SIZE MODEL PART NUMBER 3/16" nG3LB 71256‐02000 3.0 5.2 ...

Putting Into Service Operating Instructions Checking the Joints for NeoBolt fasteners Measure and ensure that the total joint thicknesses (the combination of the thickness of all the layers in all joints to be fastened) fall within the grip range specified for the NeoBolt fastener. Refer to the NeoBolt datasheet or Sales Drawing. To help with identification, each NeoBolt pin has the grip length code embossed on the pin head. Check application and remove excessive gaps between the layers of the joint. Gaps may be due to joint layers being bent or distorted. The gap is excessive if it is not possible to screw the collar fit‐up tab onto the pin fit‐up thread by at least half a turn. Additional clamping of the joint may be necessary to avoid excessive gaps. Measure and ensure that the hole diameters fall within the specified range. Ensure that holes are aligned in the different layers. Do not force pins into poorly aligned holes as this can damage the pin surface and fit‐up thread. If necessary increase hole sizes up to the maximum specified diameter to ease pin insertion. To Install NeoBolt fasteners Put NeoBolt pin tail into hole and push fully through the joint layers. Fit NeoBolt collar over the pin tail (the flanged end of the collar must be closest to the workpiece) and rotate clockwise to engage the collar onto the pin fit‐up thread by at least half a turn. Push the Collet fully over the pin pulling tail until Collet fully covers the pulling groove on the NeoBolt pin. The placing tool must be held perpendicular (90°) to the workpiece surface. Depress and hold the tool trigger switch to start the installation cycle. The Collet will grip the NeoBolt pin tail and pull the Anvil up against the collar. ...

Visual Inspection of Installed NeoBolt fasteners The raised radial bars on the installed NeoBolt collar flange should shown signs of having been flattened by the front face of the swaging Anvil (see below). The pin tail should not be greatly distorted, break or shear off. Some minor marking of the bearing surface in the pull groove is however normal. General Advice for Installing NeoBolt fasteners When installing multiple NeoBolt fasteners, fit all the collars onto the pins prior to using the placing tool. Avoid dropping the tool as the impact can damage the end of the collet or allow dirt and grit to clog and wear out the nose equipment prematurely. ...
