Check-out Procedure
Check oil level in power unit. The oil reservoirs in all power units have been
filled at the factory; however, if oil is required see pages 2 and 4 for the
recommended hydraulic oil
!
CAUTION
Throughout the Check-out Procedure check allhose
assembly/adapter connections for any leaks. .Tighten if necessary.
Check-out using electric pump (T-421U)
1.
Plug power cord into 220 volt, 60 cycle, single phase outlet. It is
recommended that this unit have a 15 amp fused circuit.
2.
Remove pipe plug from fluid fill port on top of reservoir and replace
with plastic breather cap.
3.
The following steps should be conducted without tooling in press.
4.
Turn the electric motor switch to the on position and hold during the
crimp stroke. Allow piston to travel out of the cylinder until it bottoms
(approximately 1”). NOTE: When the electric motor switch is turned
on, the hydraulic pump is activated causing the piston on the press to
travel downward.
5.
Release electric motor switch. Piston will retract.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 approximately six times. This will purge the
system.
7.
With system properly purged, crimp stroke time will be approximately
3-5 seconds.
8.
Attach pusher T-432-15 to press. See page 9 for crimping operation.
Check-out using air pump (T-402-1)
1.
Connect air line to 1/4” NPT port on air pump. Air pressure available
should be from 60 psi to 120 psi. NOTE: To insure that your pump does
not become inoperative due to internal corrosion caused by moist
air it is recommended that a suitable air line lubricator be installed
near the pump air inlet. (Ref. page 4 forWeatherhead lubricator.) If a
lubricator is not used, place 3 or 4 drops of a high grade oil directly
into the air inlet port weekly.
2.
Turn on air pressure to pump.
3. The following steps should be conducted without tooling in
press.
4.
Push hand/foot treadle. Allow the piston to travel out of the cylinder
until it bottoms (approximately 1”).
5.
Release hand/foot treadle to return piston.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 approximately six times. This will purge the
system.
7.
With a system pressure of 95 psi, crimp stroke will be approximately
18-30 seconds.
8.
Shut-off air supply to pump.
9.
Attach Pusher T-432-15 to press. See page 9 for crimping operation.
Check-out Procedure Using 12-Volt DC Pump
(T-412)
1.
Remove pipe plug from the port on top of the reservoir and replace
with plastic breather cap.
2.
The following steps should be conducted without tooling in press.
3.
Turn the electric motor switch to the on position and hold during the
crimp stroke. Allow piston to travel out of the cylinder until it bottoms
(approximately 1”). NOTE: When the electric motor switch is turned
on, the hydraulic pump is activated causing the piston on the press to
travel downward.
4.
Release electric motor switch. Piston will retract.
5.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 approximately six times. This will purge the
system.
6.
With system properly purged, crimp stroke time will be approximately
3-5 seconds.
7.
Attach pusher T-432-15 to press. See page 9 for crimping operation.
Check-out using hand pump (T-403-2)
1. Perform the following steps without tooling in press.
2.
Open finger tip control valve and pump the handle until piston
bottoms (approximately 1”).
3.
Release fingertip control valve allowing the piston to return
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 approximately six times. This will purge the
system.
5.
Purging completed, attach pusher T-432-15 to press. See page 9 for
crimping operation
