DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
THE BALANCE OF THIS TOOL IS DESIGNED FOR HORIZONTAL USE AND IS NOT SUITED FOR ANY OTHER
APPLICATIONS. GAGE BILT WILL BE PLEASED TO ADVISE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
The GB745SH is a pneumatic-hydraulic split riveter designed specifically for the efficient installation of a wide range of blind rivets,
lockbolts and MAGNA-GRIP® fasteners. This tool's unique "split" system provides the operator with a lightweight ergonomic tool.
The head assembly when held in hand weighs just 2 1/4 lbs. (1.02 kg). The entire split riveter weighs 10 1/2 lbs. (4.76 kg). It has
a .620" (15.75 mm) rivet setting stroke.
The GB745SH split riveter operates on a wide range of air pressure, with 90 to 100 psi (6.2-6.9 bar) providing the maximum efficiency.
At 90 psi. (6.2 bar) air pressure, the GB745SH does not exceed 81.5 dB (A) and consumes 3.9 cfm at 20 cycles per minute.
The air inlet is provided with 1/4-18 female pipe threads for accepting the user's air hose fitting.
The GB745SH comes with 8 feet of hose. Pull pressure varies with different length hoses. When ordering specify the shortest length
hose possible for your application this will provide optimum pull pressure. For example if your application only requires 5 feet of
hose order riveter with -5 suffix (GB745SH-5). Please consult our engineering department for specific applications.
NOSE ASSEMBLIES ARE NOT FURNISHED WITH THIS RIVETER AND MUST BE ORDERED SEPARATELY.

Maintenance personnel
WARNING:
Disconnect tool from its power source before performing maintenance.
WARNING:
Dispose of Hydraulic Oil in accordance with applicable regulations.
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 psi. (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 and free of air by using the fill bottle
(745163) on a regular 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.
*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 GB745TK is recommended.
HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe
dope is recommended.
applied, pieces may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction and 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.
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.
