which will be crushed by contact with the
Anvil.
Do not adjust the Swage Pressure too high
as this increases the risk of Bobtail grooves
being stripped/damaged or the Bobtail being
broken away from the pin. In either event,
this will prevent a Bobtail Collar Cutter from
being used.
ST type Bobtail tools...
These tools have a Limit Switch and
operate in a similar way to the IT type
tools except that the operator must
release the tool Trigger to eject the
Tool/Nose Assembly from the installed
fastener. Follow steps 1 to 11 as for the
IT type tools but in step 4. connect the
plug of the Bobtail tool to the Powerig
Electrical Connector 34
DT type Bobtail tools and non-Bobtail
tools fitted with Bobtail Nose
Assemblies...
Note:
When using DT type tools, the hydraulic
Pull Pressure (as set with the Main
Pressure Relief Valve 5), controls the Collar
swaging. Ensure this has been adjusted to
the correct value before attempting to install
a fastener. The Digital Pressure Switch 6 is
not utilised.
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 34.
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. 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.
Note:
DT type tools do not have a Limit Switch
which means the tool Trigger is always
enabled. Therefore, the operator must
ensure that the Nose Assembly Puller is
correctly located onto the Bobtail part of
the fastener Pin before pressing the tool
Trigger to start the installation cycle.
Failure to do this may result in damage to
the Puller and
increases the risk of Bobtail
grooves being stripped/damaged or the
Bobtail being broken away from the pin. In
either event, this may prevent the Collar
from swaging correctly and will prevent a
Bobtail Collar Cutter from being used to
remove the installed fastener.
