gENERAL OPERATINg INSTRUcTIONS fOR THE
gcN150/gcN-MEP gAS-AcTUATEd TOOL
INSTALLING THE TOOL BOOT FOR THE ExTENSION POLE:
The GCN-MEP tool and the GCN150 tool can be used for installing pins in overhead applications
with an extension pole tool (model numbers PETG-6KT or PETG-8KT).
With the mount installed onto the GCN-MEP tool, the extension
pole sections can be assembled onto the extension boot.
1. Remove the (4) bolts that secure the
engine cover.
2. Align the bolt stems of the boot over the
bolt holes on the engine cover, making sure
the trigger hook is around the trigger.
3. While depressing the fastener guide
against a firm surface, install the long
engine cover bolts (supplied with the boot
kit, model number PETG).
OPTIONAL TOOL FOOT INSTALLATION (GCN-MEP ONLY)
1. Remove lower fuel
compartment hex nut,
remove the bolt sleeve,
and install the bolt sleeve
included with the tool foot.
2. Fit the foot legs over fuel
compartment, align holes
in foot with bolt hole, and
install the bolts provided
with the foot.
3. The tool foot is now
installed.
The optional rear foot can be installed onto the GCN-MEP to help keep the tool perpendicular to
the work surface so that the installer only needs to keep the tool at a 90˚ angle to work surface
from the side-to-side direction.
