SAFETY WARNINGS TERMS AND SYMBOLS OPERATING HAZARDS: 1. Use of tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including crushing, impacts, cuts, abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands. - Product complies with requirements 2. Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION When the actuator is depressed, power is supplied to the solenoid shifting the directional valve. It then puts power to the motor starter. The unit then sends hydraulic oil to the pull side of the installation tool moving the piston to the rear positions. The internal components of the attached nose assembly are also moving with the piston to start the fastener installation.
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. WARNING: Proper PULL and RETURN pressures are important for proper function of installation tools. Severe personal injury or damage to equipment may occur without correct pressures.
HOW TO SET-UP THE GB947 PRESSURE SETTING GAGE AND PARTS LIST WARNING: Ensure both PULL and RETURN pressures are suited to match the equipment being used. CAUTION: The GB947 Powerunit is designed for high speed pressures for only a short period. Complete check as soon as possible. The pressure gage assembly (942280) (sold separately) set-up is used to check the pressure settings for both the PULL and RETURN pressures.
HOW TO SET-UP THE GB947 WARNING: Hydraulic pressure must be adjusted based on the hydraulic tool. See tool manual for correct pressure requirements. WARNING: Do not operate when recommended pressures are exceeded as it could cause severe personal injury and or damage the equipment.
Hydraulic Oil: Standard hydraulic oil with a viscosity rating of 300 SUS @ 100 deg. F. and 50 SUS @ 210 deg. F. Hydraulic Oil is not supplied by Gage Bilt. Use automatic transmissions oil, DEXRON III®, or equivalent. Fire resistant hydraulic oil must be used to comply with OSHA regulation 1926.302 paragraph (d): “the fluid used in hydraulic power tools shall be fire resistant fluid approved under Schedule 30 of the US Bureau of Mines, Department of Interior, and shall retain its operating characteristics at the most extreme temperatures to which is will be exposed.”...
WARNING: Pump must be maintained in a safe working condition at all times and examined on a daily basis for damage or wear. Any repair must be done by qualified personnel trained on Gage Bilt procedures. WARNING: Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants must be avoided.
MAINTENANCE Cont. CAUTION: Springs on the carbon brushes (947141) will push on the carbon brush seats (947142). Hold the brush seats (947142) as they are loosened and removed. INSPECTING MOTOR CARBON BRUSHES (EVERY 3 MONTHS OR 300 HOURS) Checking the motor carbon brushes (947141) consistently helps to prevent premature failure of the armature. See pg. 21 for parts breakdown. To help prevent premature failure of the armature, inspect the brushes EVERY 3 MONTHS OR 300 HOURS (depending on use): To inspect carbon brushes (947141) follow these steps: 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING Providing all maintenance conditions have been met, follow this systematic approach to diagnosis. 1. MOTOR WILL NOT START. a) No power or wrong voltage. Check the power supply & voltage. b) Damaged power cord. Contact customer service. c) Tripped circuit breaker. Ensure electrical supply is adequate. d) Loose or faulty wiring.
Page 15
TROUBLESHOOTING Cont. 9. TOOL WILL NOT CYCLE. a) Check the system pressure; if the pressure is zero: the control valve is releasing pressure and the problem may be in the cylinder, mechanical linkage connected to cylinder or quick-disconnect couplings. Check the cylinders for broken return springs and check couplers to ensure they are completely coupled.
