Regular servicing should be carried out and a comprehensive inspection performed annually or every 200000 cycles, whichever is
soonest.

The employer is responsible for ensuring that tool maintenance instructions are given to the appropriate personnel. The
operator should not be involved in maintenance or repair of the tool unless properly trained.

Daily, before use or when first putting the tool into service, pour a few drops of clean, light lubricating oil into the air inlet of the tool if no
lubricator is fitted on air supply. If the tool is in continuous use, the air hose should be disconnected from the main air supply and the tool
lubricated every two to three hours.
Check for air leaks. If damaged, hoses and couplings should be replaced by new items.
If there is no filter on the pressure regulator, bleed the air line to clear it of accumulated dirt or water before connecting the air hose to the
tool. If there is a filter fitted, drain it.
Check that the nose assembly is correct.
Inspect the drivescrew in the nose assembly for wear or damage. If there is any, renew.
W E E K L Y
Dismantle and clean the nose assembly with special attention to the thrust bearings and thrust washers. Lubricate with high pressure
grease (eg. Shell Alvania EPI) before assembling.
Check for air leaks in the air supply hose and fittings.
Lubricate the clutch with high pressure grease (eg. Shell Alvania EPI) (see procedure in clutch section page 12)
Check for wear on thrust bearings and thrust washers. If there is any, renew.

It is imperative that the reverse control rods are fitted in the correct sequence (see diagram opposite) to ensure
correct tool function. When renewing the long push rod, it is necessary to trim the overall length to give a protru-
sion of 37.85mm(1.49”)/38.1mm(1.5”) of the push rod above the front face of the output square drive spindle of
the final gearbox. A gauge (part number 07900-00424) is used to achieve this.
This operation should be carried out with the air supply connected to the tool. Do not operate the trigger during this
operation. When the rod has been trimmed to the correct length, carefully remove the sharp edge left with either a
0.4mm(.015”) radius or 45
°
chamfer. Take care not to bend or damage the new push rod.
