5 – HOW THE TOOL WORKS

 

 
 
 
 

1)

 

The hydraulic hose and hand pump are attached to the tool 
and the tool is inserted into the access gap 

 
 
 
 
 

2)

 

The hand pump is primed which powers the hydraulics 
that lift the load 

 
 
 
 
 

3)

 

The load is secured using the safety block 

 
 
 
 

6 – INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 

 

6.1 STANDARD INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 

 

The operation procedure is exactly the same for both the WCLW18TE Mini and Standard Kits. The 
WCLW18TE Mini Kit does not contain either a 10,000 psi (700 bar) hydraulic hand pump or a 10,000 psi 
(700 bar ) hydraulic hose. These items will come from the user’s inventory. 
 
 
 
 
 

1)

 

Assemble the kit by connecting one end of the 
hydraulic hose to the hand pump, and the other end 
to the hydraulic cylinder. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2)

 

Ensure the access gap under the item to be lifted 
measures 9.5 mm (0.37”) or greater.
