1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.2 GENERAL SAFETY

 WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general
workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this
equipment.

 WARNING! Always wear approved eye protection when using the
bearing and seal drifts. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury. Normal spectacles are not adequate protection.
 Familiarise yourself with the specific applications and limitations of
the bearing and seal drifts, as well as any potential hazards.
 If unsure of the applications or limitations of the bearing and seal
drifts contact your supplier.
 Ensure that the bearing and seal drift is the correct tool for the
task. DO NOT use the drifts for any purpose other than that
for which it is designed.

 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.

 Ensure that the workpiece is stable and that there is adequate
lighting.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not
slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
 Use the correct size and type of hammer for the task. The
recommended diameter of hammer face is 10mm larger than tool
head. Check that the hammer handle is in good order and is firmly
secure in the hammer head. Note that for seal installation a soft-
faced hammer should be adequate and will be less likely to
damage the tool.
 Make sure that the face of the hammer and the head of the tool
are clean and free from grease, oil, etc.

 Position the tool so that it is struck away from your body.
 Strike the drift sleeves squarely on the head - DO NOT hit the

drifts or sleeves off centre or at an angle.
 DO NOT use the bearing and seal drifts if any are bent, chipped,
have a mushroom head or are otherwise damaged.

 DO NOT strike the side of the drift sleeves.
 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working

area.
 DO NOT use the bearing and seal drifts if any parts are damaged
or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
 DO NOT use the bearing and seal drifts when you are tired,
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

3. CONTENTS AND USE

3.1. Contents

3.1.1. Check the contents against the parts list overleaf. The case
should contain the following:-

● 1 LARGE (ext. Ø60mm) metal drift sleeve.
9 externally fitting nylon seal/ bearing drifts.
4 internally fitting nylon seal/bearing drifts.

● 1 MEDIUM (ext. Ø40mm) metal drift sleeve.
5 externally fitting nylon seal/bearing drifts.
4 internally fitting nylon seal/bearing drifts.

● 1 SMALL (ext. Ø25mm) metal drift sleeve.
7 externally fitting nylon seal/bearing drifts.
5 internally fitting nylon seal/bearing drifts.

3.2. Use

3.2.1. Referring to the table overleaf select a seal/bearing drift
which is the same size as the seal/bearing to be fitted. (The
drift diameters are nominally smaller than the given size to
prevent them jamming in the bore). The table also tells you
which of the three metal drifts to use and whether the drift fits
the internal diameter or the external diameter of the drift sleeve.
See fig.1A and B.

3.2.2. Align the seal or bearing with the bore into which it is to be
driven. A chamfer or rounded edge on the seal/bearing should
allow it to align with the bore opening. Do not let the seal/
bearing sit in the bore at an angle.

3.2.3 Place the drift sleeve and drift assembly onto the seal/bearing.
The centre line of the sleeve should be aligned with the centre
line of the bore. Gently tap the seal/bearing into the bore using a
soft faced hammer until it is fully seated.

3.2.4 When using the large drift sleeve, the 60/50 drift can be inserted
into the sleeve to aid accurate driving and avoid damage to the
tube rim as shown in fig.1A.

3.2.5 When using the medium and small tubes, care should be taken
to strike the tube end on. If inaccurate blows to the tube should
damage, deform or spread the metal it should be replaced.
