INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
• Tighten the ring nut on the back of the hook, screwing up the ring nut to start
the pneumatic safety system (fig. 6).
• Compress the spring through the manual control lever of the shock absorber
removal tool, only to release the pressure the spring exerts on the cap.
• Do not compress the spring completely.
• Remove the blocking cap from the shock absorber, unscrewing the nut.
• Discharge the compression of the spring.
• The shock absorber has been released from the spring and can be pulled
out to be replaced.
Install the shock absorber as follows:
• Fit the new shock absorber into its spring.
• Press the manual control lever to make the spring stick to the blocking cap.
• Block the cap to the shaft of the shock absorber, screwing in the proper nut.
• Use the manual control lever to relieve the safety hook; then release
the spring completely.
• Move the arms to the outside.
• Open the protective grid, releasing the closing pin.
• Remove the shock absorber thus reassembled.
Shock absorbers can also be removed and installed by using a vice for shock absorber
removal tools. The vice should be placed on the shock absorber removal tool
by fitting the pins into the proper slots. Block the shaft of the shock absorber in
the vice and carry out the removal and installation operations.
When the operations are complete, de-risk the shock absorber removal tool by
disconnecting the air supply.
Lubrication/Greasing
Approximately every 3 months, remove accumulated deposits, dust, earth etc. from the sliding column with a
dry cloth. Grease only with a silicone based lubricant in minimal amounts when needed.
Never use oil, detergents or releasers on the sliding parts (columns).
The pneumatic tool must be connected to a filter-lubricator unit (we recommend Beta item 1919F1/4) provided
with an air-oil microfog mixer, set at two drops per minute. This will result in a high-performing tool and
wear-resistant mechanical parts.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and repair jobs must be carried out by trained personnel. For such jobs, you can contact
Beta Utensili S.P.A.'s repair centre.
DISPOSAL
The shock absorber removal tool must be disposed of in accordance with the laws in force in the country
where it is used.

dition, this warranty will no longer be valid if any changes are made, or if the pneumatic tool is forced or sent
