4. AIR SUppLY
WARNING! Ensure the air supply does not exceed 8bar/116psi while operating the unit. Too high an air pressure will cause the internal
safety disc to rupture thus invalidating you warranty.
4.1
The boot tool has a male 1/4" BSP thread at the end of the handle. Screw the
supplied air adaptor fitting onto the thread so that the tool can easily be
disconnected from the air supply if required.
4.2
Where possible the compressor should be sited in a separate room with the
connecting airline kept as short as possible. The compressor should have an air
filter and water separator (Fig.9).
4.3
Drain the compressor air tank daily as water in the air line will damage the unit.
4.4
The recommended hook-up procedure is shown in Fig.9.
4.5
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the
same inside dimensions.
4.6
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and ensure that all connections are secure.
4.7
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
5. OpERATION
WARNING! The boot tool is designed for the installation of flexible rubber CV boots only and should be used with no other products
and for no other purpose.
Before first use check that the cap retaining screws between the arms are secure
5.0
Adjust the air compressor to give a maximum pressure of 8bar/116psi at its outlet.
5.1
5.2
Before connecting the air line to the boot tool put the flexible rubber boot over the boot tool arms (large end first). Make sure that the
ends of the arms are projecting from the top opening of the rubber boot. To fit a boot to an inner joint, turn the boot inside out before
sliding it onto the arms of the boot tool.
5.3
Connect the air line to the air connector at the end of the handle.
5.4
When operating the boot tool, to open a CV rubber boot, turn the tool away from your face and body.
5.5
Activate the splaying of the boot tool arms by pressing the plus button (+) on the handle, thus allowing air to enter the device.
5.6
When the arms have stretched the boot enough to pass over the joint, release the plus button (+) button in order to prevent the arms
opening any further.
5.7
Manoeuvre the opened tool and boot over the end of the drive shaft until it is in the required place.
5.8
To release the air pressure in the boot tool, press the minus (-) button on the reverse side of the handle. As the air pressure is released
the arms will close down onto the drive shaft. Keep hands away from moving parts.
5.9
Disconnect the air supply.
5.10 Place one hand onto the rubber boot to hold it in place.
5.11 Finally, entirely withdraw the tool from the boot.
NOTE: The tool can be removed from the airline when pressurized (arms open) and will maintain its pressure until the minus (-) button
is pressed. This allows the tool to be moved around the workshop whilst still under pressure providing a useful operating benefit. The
pressure should not be left in the tool for long periods but only for the duration of the boot fitting.
WARNING! Do not leave the Boot Tool under air pressure when not in use.
