GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
During disassembly and assembly, take the following
precautions to avoid damaging tool or components:
(a) Always work on a clean surface.
(b) Use relatively soft materials, such as brass,
aluminum or wood, to protect tool when applying
pressure.
(c) Apply a continuous strong pressure, rather than
sharp blows, to disassemble or assemble a com-
ponent. An arbor press provides steady pressure
to press a component in or out.
(d) Never continue to force a component if it “hangs
up” due to misalignment. Reverse the procedure
to correct misalignment and start over.
(e) Smear Lubriplate
TM
13OAA or equivalent on O-
rings and mating surfaces to aid assembly and
prevent damage to O-rings. (A handy tube of
Lubriplate 13OAA is available from Huck as part
number 502723).
(f)
Coat pipe plug threads, hose fitting threads, and
quick connect fittings with Threadmate™, which
is available from Huck in a 4oz. tube as part
number 508517.
DO NOT use Teflon tape on
hose fitting threads.
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY TOOLS
Standard hand tools such as wrenches, drifts, copper
or lead hammers, screwdrivers, socket screw hexa-
gon keys, long forceps (tweezers), etc. which can be
purchased at most local supply firms are required. If
possible, an arbor press and vise with soft jaws
should be available.
SPARE PARTS AND SPARE PARTS KITS
The quantity of spare parts that should be kept on
hand varies with the application and number of tools
in service. However, spare parts kits containing per-
ishable parts such as O-rings, back-up rings, etc.,
should be kept on hand at all times.
POWERIG MAINTENANCE
Maintenance instructions and repair procedures are in
the appropriate POWERIG Instruction Manual.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
At regular intervals, depending on use, replace all O-
rings and back-up rings in the tool. Spare Parts Kit
SFBTT15KIT
should be kept on hand. Inspect cylin-
der bore, piston and end cap for scored surfaces,
excessive wear or damage, and replace as neces-
sary.
NOSE ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
Daily cleaning of the nose assembly is recommended.
This can usually he accomplished by dipping nose
assembly in mineral spirits, or other suitable solvent,
to clean jaws and wash away metal chips and dirt. If
more thorough cleaning or maintenance is necessary,
disassemble the nose assembly. Use a sharp pointed
“pick” to remove imbedded particles from the pull
grooves of the jaws. Apply anti-seize lubricant, part
number 505565, to outside of puller and inside of
anvil.
