GENERAL
This section contains information on problems that may possibly occur and the corrections to be
made to restore the tool to proper operating condition. When using this clamp application tool,
problems can occur with the tool or with the clamp being assembled. The guidelines shown and
attention by the tool operator will result in identifying the problem so a timely correction can be made.

when tool is not being operated.

- Disconnect tubes L and B at cylinder end.

cylinder seals and repair.

4) Tool operation is

erratic, especially
when tool is
resetting.

exhausts from the cylinder(s).
