WARNINGS and CAUTIONS to
prevent personal injury
or damage to tool.
WARNING
When operating installation
equipment, always wear approved
eye protection.

Hyd. Pressure Req'd. - 5400-5700 psi PULL (See GB902 manual for pressure setting
instructions).
Hyd. Power Source - GB902 Powerunit
Hydraulic Fluid - Good quality hydraulic fluid.

Rated Pull Load - 40,000 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
The GB585NT is a hydraulic installation tool capable of installing 5/8" and 3/4" Magna-Grip® or
standard lockbolts. It weighs just under 20 lbs. and is our most powerful hand tool. It has a 1.600"
rivet setting stroke and a rated pull load of 40,000 lbs.
The GB585 installation tool operates on hydraulic pressure developed by the GB902 Powerunit
set at 5400-5700 psi PULL pressure. The tool comes equipped with 24" hoses complete with quick
disconnects.
NOSE ASSEMBLIES ARE NOT FURNISHED WITH THE RIVETER AND MUST BE ORDERED
SEPARATELY.

WARNING
Be sure there is adequate
clearance for tool and
operator's hands before
proceeding as severe personal
injury may result.
WARNING
Do not pull on pin without
collar, as it will eject
forcibly when pintail breaks
off and severe personal
injury may result.
CAUTION
Hydraulic power units
that deliver high pressure
for the "PULL" and "RETURN"
and are not equipped with
relief valves are specifically
not recommended and may be dangerous.
OPERATION
When the tool is connected to a powerunit, operation is controlled by the handle and foot peddle
on the GB902 powerunit. When the handle is moved to the ‘A’ position and the foot peddle is
depressed the powerunit directs fluid to the front side of the piston forcing it and the nose
assembly collet rearward. This action causes the jaws to clamp onto the fastener pintail and pull
the sheets together. The anvil is forced forward, swaging the collar into locking grooves of the
fastener. Further force breaks the pintail off, approximately flush with the collar.
When the handle is moved to the ‘B’ position and the foot peddle is depressed fluid will "dump"
back to the powerunit tank. This reverses fluid flow to the back of the piston and pushes the nose
assembly off of the swaged fastener. The pintail ejector hydraulically pushes the spent pintail out
of the nose assembly. When the piston is all the way forward it exposes another flat providing a
smaller passage for fluid to be "dumped" back to tank.

MAINTENANCE
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal
requirements for service and care will extend the life of your tool.
*Only use a hydraulic power source equipped with relief valves and pressures set within specified
limits.
*Keep hydraulic system free of dirt. Avoid letting couplers contact a dirty floor.
*Do not use as a hammer to force fasteners into holes or otherwise abuse tool.
*Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime.
WARNING
Be sure powerunit is disconnected before cleaning, or when replacing worn or damaged components.
Severe personal injury may occur if power source is not disconnected.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Providing all maintenance conditions have been met, follow this systematic approach to diagnosis.
1. NO OPERATION WHEN PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED
a.) Check powerunit power source.
b.) Check hydraulic couplings; repair or replace.
2. SLOW OR PARTIAL OPERATION WHEN TRIGGER IS DEPRESSED
a.) Low hydraulic pressure. Check powerunit, adjust.
b.) Cylinder Piston o'ring (403881) could be worn or damaged. Replace.
c.) Excessive wear or scoring on moving parts. Check and replace faulty parts.
b.) Check hydraulic couplings; repair or replace.
3. TOOL OPERATES IN REVERSE
a.) Tool stops in back position. Hydraulic hoses are reversed. Correct.
4. HYDRAULIC OIL OVERHEATS
a.) Restrictions in either hydraulic lines, hoses or couplings. Check and tighten, clean or replace.
5. OIL LEAKAGE
a.) Hydraulic oil leaks from connections. Tighten threaded connections. Do not use Teflon®tape.
b.) Oil leaks from tool. Determine source of leak and replace worn or defective o'rings and back-up
rings.
6. PINTAIL GROOVES STRIPPED DURING PULL STROKE
a.) Nose Assembly must be pushed onto fastener fully.
b.) Chips may have collected in chuck jaws. Disassemble nose assembly, clean jaws in mineral spirits
using a sharp pointed object.
c.) Chuck jaws may be worn or damaged. Replace.
d.) Pintail too short for jaws to properly grip. Select proper grip length fastener.
e.) Excessive gap between sheets. Reduce gap before attempting to install fastener.
7. NOSE ASSEMBLY WON'T ACCEPT FASTENER PINTAIL
a.) Spent fastener stem may be jammed in pulling head. Disassemble and check for worn or broken
parts in nose assembly. Replace defective parts and clean before reassembling.

OVERHAUL
If a tool is performing poorly or leaking badly, a complete overhaul may be necessary. Service Kit
585001 Contains a complete set of o'rings, back-up rings and screws.
Perform overhaul in a clean, well lit area using care not to scratch or nick any smooth surface that
comes in contact with an o'ring. Use of Lubriplate® (Gage Bilt part no. 402723) or other lubricant
is recommended during reassembly to prevent tearing or distorting of o'rings.
Disconnect hydraulic hoses and electrical cord from powerunit. Remove couplers (585037) from
hoses (505034) and drain. Remove retaining sleeve (505024) and split ring set (585002) and
remove nose assembly. Push piston (585123) back into cylinder (585204) to empty all fluid from
tool.
Unscrew button head cap screw (400047) from cylinder cap (585226). Using cylinder cap wrench
(585001) remove cylinder cap (585226). Push piston (585123) out rear of tool remove relief valve
(585023). Remove retaining ring (401521) push adapter (585105) out the rear of cylinder. Using
ejector gland wrench (750033) unscrew ejector gland assembly (762006) from piston and remove
pintail ejector (505022). Using a small blunt object, remove o'rings, back-up rings and quad ring
from components.
Remove socket head cap screw (404128 & 401218) from handle (480127) and unscrew hydraulic
hoses from cylinder.
Clean parts in mineral spirits or other o'ring compatible solvent being sure to clean o'ring grooves.
Inspect components for scoring, excessive wear or damage.
Reassembly sequence is opposite of disassembly. Be sure relative positions of o'rings and back-up
rings are as shown in exploded view and part list. Relief valve must be installed with four flats
towards the rear of the cylinder. When installing cylinder cap (585226) make sure flats on cylinder
cap (585226) and flats on cylinder (585204) line up flush so locator (586124) will sit level between
cap and cylinder. Coat hose fitting threads with a non-hardening Teflon thread compound such as
Slic-tite® (Gage Bilt part no. 403237). DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE.
