FILLING AND BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
DO NOT CYCLE TOOL WITHOUT AIR BLEEDER, OR THE SCREW AND STAT-O-SEAL, INSTALLED IN TOOL HEAD.
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
CAUTION:
BEFORE FILLING HANDLE, AIR PISTON SHOULD BE ALL THE WAY DOWN.
CAUTION:
WHEN FORCING PISTON ROD ASSEMBLY DOWNWARD WITH HEAD CYLINDER ASSEMBLY REMOVED,
HYDRAULIC FLUID WILL EJECT FORCIBLY FROM HANDLE.
To replace a small amount of oil in the tool follow steps 19 and 20 below.
Should it become necessary to completely refill the tool (as would be required after tool has been dismantled and reassembled), take
the following steps after depressing trigger
AND DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY:
1. Ensure air piston is at the full bottom of stroke by pushing power piston rod down.
2. Fill power cylinder and oil passage to the top.
3. Place gasket and o'ring on top of the handle.
4. Push head piston in head cylinder until it stops.
5. Press head cylinder down on top of handle, being careful not to tear o'ring on top of power cylinder, install screws and tighten
evenly.
6. Remove front screw and seal from top of head. Attach 4oz. bottle assy (745163).
7. Squeeze bottle gently until no air rises into bottle. (Be careful not to move head piston when filling with oil).
8. Remove 4oz. bottle assy. (745163) from front hole. Replace screw and stat-o-seal. Remove rear screw and
stat-o-seal and attach 4 oz. bottle assy. (745163) Repeat step 7.
9. Remove 4oz. bottle assy. (745163) from rear hole, install screw and stat-o-seal.
10. Reattach 4oz. bottle assy. (745163) to front bleeder hole and connect to air.
11. Cycle tool 10 times holding trigger down for 5 seconds between cycles.
12. Remove 4oz. bottle assy. (745163), replace screw and stat-o-seal.
13. Cycle tool 5-6 times and check stroke of .500 (see below), We recommend using a pair of dial calipers. With the trigger released,
check dimension (A). Holding trigger down check dimension (B). Subtract dimension (A) from dimension (B). If stroke is not
consistent within 1/64" (.0156) follow steps 14-21. If stroke checks O.K. and piston comes completely forward (see below) the
bleeding procedure is complete.
14. Disconnect air while piston is in rear position.
15. Remove screw and stat-o-seal from both front and rear holes.
16. Gently push piston in until it stops.
17. If fluid is not at top of rear hole, attach 4oz. bottle (745163) and repeat step 7.
18. Remove 4oz. bottle assy. (745163), replace rear screw and stat-o-seal.
19. Attach 4oz. bottle assy. (745163) to front hole, connect air.
20. Cycle 10 times, remove 4oz. bottle assy. (745163), replace screw and stat-o-seal.
21. Repeat step 13.

FILLING AND BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Fill bottle assy (745163) is required.
WARNING:
Do not cycle tool without fill bottle assy (745163), or the button head screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572), installed in
head cylinder (730398). Severe personal injury could result.
CAUTION:
Before filling handle assy (704132), air piston assy (704121) should be all the way down.
CAUTION:
When forcing piston rod assy (730233) downward, with head cylinder assy (730398) removed, hydraulic oil will
eject forcibly from handle assy (704132).
CAUTION:
Use CAUTION when removing screws and fill bottle assy (745163). Hydraulic oil may be under pressure.
To replace a small amount of oil in the tool cycle tool to rear position disconnect air and follow steps 7-15 below.

Should it become necessary to completely refill the tool (as would be required after tool has been dismantled and reassembled), take
the following steps.
1. Remove four button head cap screws (A-928) from handle assy (704132). Remove head cylinder (730398) from handle assy
(704132) and set aside o’ring (S832) and gasket (745124).
2. Ensure air piston assy (704121) is at the full bottom of stroke by pushing piston rod assy (730233) down.
3. Fill power cylinder (730237) and oil passage ,on top of handle assy (704132), to the top with automatic transmission oil, Dexron III
or equivalent. When looking at the top of the handle assy (704132), the oil passage is the hole that is counterbored for o'ring (S832).
4. Place gasket (745124) and o'ring (S832) on top of the handle assy (704132).
5. Push piston (730311) to rear of head cylinder (730398) until it stops. (DIM “B”)
6. Press head cylinder (730398) down on top of handle assy (704132), being careful not to tear o'ring (403733) on top of power
cylinder (730237). Install four button head cap screws (A-928) and torque evenly to 40 inch lbs to prevent leakage around gasket
(745124).
7. Remove front button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) from top of head cylinder (730398). Attach fill bottle assy
(745163) making sure rear button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) are in place.
8. Squeeze fill bottle assy (745163) gently until no air rises in the bottle.
9. Connect tool to air supply. Piston (730311) will then move to forward position. (DIM “A”). Cycle tool ten times.
10.
DISCONNECT AIR FROM TOOL
. Remove fill bottle assy (745163) and replace front button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o
-seal (S572) on top of head cylinder (730398) and torque 35-40 inch lbs.
11. Carefully remove rear button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) from top of head cylinder (730398). (
WARNING:
Rear
hole could be under pressure.)
12. Attach fill bottle assy (745163) to rear hole. Squeeze fill bottle assy (745163) gently until no air rises in the bottle.
13. Remove fill bottle assy (745163) and replace rear button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) from top of head cylinder
(730398) and torque 35-40 inch lbs.
14. Connect tool to air supply and cycle tool ten times.
15. Check stroke of .500” (12.7 mm) (see below). We recommend using dial calipers. With the actuator lever assy (704343) released
check dimension (A). Holding actuator lever assy (704343) in, check dimension (B). Subtract dimension (A) from dimension (B). If
stroke is not consistent within 1/64" (.0156) repeat steps 6-14.
