2 feet (.61 m) of hydraulic hoses and couplings, electric switch and cord. The GB585A installation tool operates on hydraulic pressure developed by the GB910 & GB912 Powerunits set at 5,400-5,700 psi (372.3 - 393.0 bar) maximum PULL pressure and 2,200-2,400 psi. (151.7 - 165.5 bar) maximum RETURN pressure. The tool comes equipped with 2 feet (.61 m) of hydraulic hoses, swivels and couplings, air actuator and tube.

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. GB585 / GB585A INTALLATION TOOL REV. 12/17...
When the tool is connected to a powerunit, operation is controlled by an electric actuator switch (GB585) or a piloted air actuator assy (GB585A) in the handle assy (480127). When the switch/actuator assy is depressed, a directional valve in the powerunit directs oil to the front side of the piston (585124) forcing it and the nose assembly collet rearward.
1. Set hydraulic power unit to the recommended pressure, 5,700 psi (393.0 bar) Max. for the pull and 2,400 psi (165.5 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.
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 545 or equivalent or a non-hardening Teflon® thread compound such as Slic-tite® (Gage Bilt part no. 403237). Tighten until fitting feels snug and then continue to tighten 1/2 to 1 full turn.
7. NOSE ASSEMBLY WON'T ACCEPT FASTENER PINTAIL. a.) 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. GB585 / GB585A INTALLATION TOOL REV. 12/17...
11. Reassembly sequence is opposite of disassembly. Be sure relative positions of o'rings and back-up rings are as shown in exploded view and part list on pgs. 13-14. Coat hose fitting threads with a non-hardening teflon thread compound such as Slic-tite® (Gage Bilt part no. 403237). DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE. (See hydraulic thread preparation pg.10).
