GATOR®Battery-powered Cable Cutter
(Motor/Gearbox/Bearing Reassembly)
1. Install two Fillister head screws (27) into spacer
(not numbered) and motor (24). Tighten screws.
2. Install four screws (not numbered) into gear housing
(28). Tighten screws.
3. Install four screws (29) into mounting block (8) and
gear housing (28). Tighten screws.
4. Replace grooved ball bearing (31) and snap ring
(30) subassembly.
5. Replace eccentric (52). Use a fiber mallet to tap
eccentric onto shaft. Replace ball bearing (51).
6. Align end cap (54). Use a fiber mallet to tap cover
until it is flush on mounting block (8). Install two
screws (55).
7. Align gear housing/motor subassembly so that the
pump piston (49) extends through the mounting
block (8) and makes contact with the grooved
bearing (31). Locate and start the three screws (7)
through the mounting block and into the pump
housing. Tighten the screws.
8. Install release lever (18) so that the forked end
engages the needle valve subassembly between the
pressure relief (11) and the support ring (12). Install
screw (15).
(Pump Subassembly)
9. Insert pump piston (49) into pump housing.
10. Insert seal (4) and unloading valve assembly into
pump housing. Grasp needle valve subassembly by
the plug (11) and twist it several turns clockwise.
Stop when the mark or piece of tape (see Step 19
under Disassembly) is facing up.
11. Assemble pump piston (43), valve stem (40), spring
(41) and screw plug (39). Be sure to replace sealing
washer (42).
12. Insert threaded bushing (37) and feed tube sub-
assembly (34, 35, 36). Screw in until snug.
13. Install reservoir (17) so that the flat side faces the
same direction as the pump piston. Slip the O-ring
(38) over the reservoir. Using a hooked tool, care-
fully slip the O-ring over the lip of the pump housing.
14. Insert the plug (16) into the reservoir.
(Miscellaneous Components Reassembly)
15.
Remove the protective plastic bag from the electronics
subassembly. Insert the LED into the LED bushing
(208).
16. Lay the gear housing/motor subassembly into the
right half of the housing. Insert the circuit board into
the circuit board slot, so that the wires and chip face
in the direction of the trigger.
17. Lay the wires into case. Be sure that the wires will
not be pinched.
18. Guide the wires for the battery clip so the battery
wires lay on top of the electronics box; install the
battery clip so the red wire is upward.
19. Install the trigger (209) and trigger lock (210).
Depress and release the trigger and slide the trigger
lock to be sure that they operate freely.
20. Locate the right housing half on top of the left
housing half. Check for pinched wires.
21. Install the housing screws (204, 206, 212, 214).
Note: Handle screw (212) must engage the nut (213).
22. Install the piston (102) and spring assembly (216).
23. Replace the front head assembly. Twist the cutting
head base (104) until it stops; back off 3/4 of a turn
and tighten the screws (128). Be sure that the front
head assembly rotates freely approximately 350°.
24. Install the blade. Screw pin (117) through the blade
and piston.
25. Clamp the front head assembly into a vise with the
reservoir plug facing upward. Remove the fill plug
(16) and fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil.
26. Install the battery (238).
27. Squeeze the trigger while depressing the release
lever for 45–60 seconds. Fill the reservoir with
hydraulic oil. Replace the fill plug (16). This might
require several attempts to bleed all of the air from
the system.
28. Replace the tank cover and tank cover screws (205).
