4. MAINTENANCE
(Ref. to Fig. 4 and 5)
Air in the hydraulic circuit may affect the performance of the tool; e.g. no lower die advancement,
slow advancement of the lower die or lower die pulsation.
In this case proceed as follows:
4.1) To purge air bubbles from hydraulic circuit
a
– Hold tool upright in a vice with handles open (Fig.4).
b
– Using an hexagonal 2,5 mm key, remove screw (59) and main handle (04) to expose oil reservoir
(03).
c
– Remove reservoir cap (01).
d
– Operate the moveable handle (51) three or four times to advance the ram (34).
e
– Depress pressure release pin (67) until ram is fully retracted.
f
– Repeat points (
d
-
e
) at least five times, to ensure all air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit are
purged into the reservoir.
g
– If the oil level is low, top up as directed in
§ 4.2
.
h
– Remove all air from reservoir and replace cap (01).
i
–
Assemble main handle (04) and holding screw (59).
If the tool continues to malfunction return the tool for service/repair as detailed in § 6.
4.2) Oil top up
