Load the tie rods & manifold
1.
Install the pressure loading tool onto the tie rods by running down the tool studs onto
the exposed threads of the tie rods.
When tightening, alternate between opposite studs to avoid binding. Tighten the tool
studs firmly in order to seat the tool piston fully into the tool body, and against the end
cap as shown below.
Notes:
The plunger of the
pressure loading tool
must be threaded all the
way out in order to
fully seat the piston
within the cylinder.
When engaged on the tie rods, there
should be no exposure of the piston
shoulder.
2.
Use a socket wrench to turn the loading tool
plunger clockwise until the gauge reads
1500 bar
.
3.
Run the primary nuts of the pump down by hand until firmly seated against the end caps. These
nuts must be fully bottomed-out against the washers/end caps.
Note:
Do not use wrenches when threading
the primary nuts down.
4.
Use the socket wrench to remove pressure
from the tool. The gauge will read
0 bar
when pressure has been removed.
5.
Back out all four of the tool studs to
remove the tool from the tie rods.
Note:
When loosening, alternate between
opposite studs to avoid binding.
6.
Repeat steps 1–5 for the remaining
positions.
7.
Apply Blue Lubricant to each of the threads on the 3/8 in. high-pressure glands.
8.
On each end of the tube, slide a gland on and thread a collar (A-2839) on the threaded ends of the
tube.
9.
Repeat Steps 33
–
35 for the remaining two high-pressure tubes.
10.
Insert one end of the tube into the high-pressure port on the manifold and loosely thread the glands.
Repeat for the other two high-pressure tubes.
11.
Loosely thread the other end of each of the three tubes into the end cap ports.
12.
Once in place, tighten all six gland nuts.
13.
Reconnect all high-pressure and low-pressure interface connections.
