System Inspection
Operating efficiency of the installation tool is directly
related to performance of the complete system,
including the tool with nose assembly, hydraulic
hoses, trigger and control cord, and POWERIG.
Therefore, an effective preventive maintenance pro-
gram includes scheduled inspections of the system to
detect and correct minor troubles.
1. Inspect tool and nose for external damage.
2. Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings
and electrical connections are secure.
3. Inspect hydraulic hose for signs of damage or
aging. Replace hose at six-month to one-year
intervals, depending on use.
4. Inspect tool, hose, and POWERIG during opera-
tion to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or vibration.
POWERIG Maintenance
Maintenance instructions and repair procedures are in
the appropriate POWERIG Instruction Manual.
Tool Maintenance
CAUTION: Always replace seals, wipers,
and back-up rings when tool is disassem-
bled for any reason.
rings and back-up rings in the tool. Spare Parts Kit
507KIT should be kept on hand.
Inspect cylinder bore, piston and piston rod and
unloading valve for scored surfaces, excessive wear
or damage, and replace as necessary.
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. Reassemble per instructions on
the applicable Nose Assembly Data Sheet.
CAUTION: Do not use TEFLON

tape on pipe
threads. Pipe threads may cause tape to
