The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal
requirements for service and care will extend the life of your tool.
*Only use a hydraulic power source equipped with relief valves and pressures set within
specified limits.
*Keep hydraulic system free of dirt. Avoid letting couplers contact a dirty floor.
*Do not use as a hammer to force fasteners into holes or otherwise abuse tool.
*Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime.
*Check tool, all hoses and all couplings daily for damage or air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if
necessary).
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe
dope is recommended.
CAUTION:
Teflon tape is an excellent thread sealer. If it not properly applied,
however, pieces may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction and damage. Use 1 1/2 wraps
of tape on each thread. Cut off all loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then go 1/2 to a
full turn past that point.
CAUTION:
Over tightening can easily distort the threads.
