Instruction manual

Connecting and testing a Bobtail T ool
(after completing previous steps 1 to
17).
IT type Bobtail T ools....
1. Inspect hoses, electrical cords and
connections frequently for signs of
damage or ageing. If necessary replace.
2. Remove the remote trigger from the
Powerig.
3. Connect the Hydraulic Couplings of the
Tool or Hose Set to the hydraulic
couplings 18 & 19 of the Powerig.
4. Connect the plug of the Bobtail Tool or
Hose Set to the Powerig Electrical
Connector 35.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, TEMPORARILY DISCONNECT
THE TOOL ELECTRICAL PLUG FROM
THE POWERIG WHILST FITTING THE
NOSE ASSEMBLY TO THE TOOL.
5. Attach the Nose Assembly to the tool in
accordance with instructions contained in
the Instruction Manual for the tool or as
shown.
6. Check operation of the tool Limit
Switches by locating the Bobtail part of
the fastener as far as possible into the
Nose Assembly Puller. The Limit Switch
light on the Tool should illuminate.
Note:
The Powerig will not allow Fastener
installation unless the tool Limit Switch is
activated. If it fails to activate, then check
that the Nose Assembly has been
assembled onto the Tool correctly. Also,
check for correct Limit Switch adjustment,
(refer to the Instruction Manual for the
tool).
7. Prepare a sample joint with the Bobtail
Fastener. Place the Collar (see note
below), onto the Pin.
Note:
Only Bobtail Fasteners of 12 mm (1/2”)
diameter or larger, have thread form
locking grooves into which a tab on the
Collar locates. Rotating the Collar will
enable it to be screwed hand tight to the
joint face.
8. Locate the Nose Assembly Puller onto
the Bobtail grooves of the fastener Pin.
The Nose Assembly should be in line with
the axis of the fastener Pin.
9. Press and hold the tool Trigger. The
Nose Assembly Puller will retract into the
Anvil, closing around the end of Pin. The
Anvil will be forced forward toward the
Collar Flange to complete the Collar
swaging/forming. When the Swage
Pressure is reached, the Tool/Nose
Assembly will eject automatically from the
installed fastener, even if the Trigger is
kept depressed. When the Nose
Assembly Anvil is free from the Collar, the
Puller will release from the end of the Pin
and enable the Tool/Nose Assembly to be
removed from the installed fastener.
10. Release the tool Trigger.
11. The installed fastener should be
checked with the correct Bobtail Fastener
inspection Gauge to ensure correct Collar
swage. Adjust the Swage Pressure if
necessary.
Note:
Set a Swage Pressure just above the
minimum pressure required for the Nose
Assembly Anvil to just lightly contact the
Collar Flange. A circular witness mark
around the Collar flange will indicate the
Anvil contact. On most large diameter (12
mm (1/2”) and above), Bobtail Collars have
a series of raised nodules around the flange
