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 cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572),
installed in the head cylinder (731910). Severe personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
Before filling handle assy (722132), the air piston assy (704121) should be all the way down.
CAUTION:
When forcing piston rod assy (731333) downward with head cylinder (731910) removed, hydraulic oil will eject
forcibly from handle assy.
CAUTION:
Use CAUTION when removing button head cap screws (402482), stat-o-seals (S572) and 4oz fill bottle assy (745163). Hydraulic oil
may be under pressure.
WARNING:
Failure to follow these instructions carefully may result in severe personal injury.
To replace a small amount of oil in the tool, cycle tool to rear position disconnect air and follow steps 6-12 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. Ensure air piston assy (704121) is at the full bottom of stroke by pushing piston rod assy (731333) down.
2. Fill power cylinder (731237) and oil passage (hole for o’ring S832 ) to the top, being careful not to get oil into the air passage.
3. Place gasket (704129) and o'ring (S832) on top of the handle assy (722132).
4. Push piston (731909) to rear of head cylinder (731910) until it stops. (DIM “B”)
5. Press head cylinder (731910) down on top of handle assy (722132), being careful not to tear o'ring (S832) and gasket (704129) on
top of handle assy (722132). Install button head cap screws (A-928) and torque evenly to 35-40 inch lbs.
WARNING:
When replacing a small amount of oil, cycle tool to rear position. While still holding actuator lever assy (704343),
disconnect air supply.
6. Remove front button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) from top of head cylinder (731910). Attach 4oz. fill bottle assy
(745163) making sure rear button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) are in place.
7. Squeeze fill bottle assy (745163) gently until no air rises in the bottle.
8. Connect tool to air supply. Piston (731909) will then move to forward position. (DIM “A”). Cycle tool ten times.
9. Disconnect air supply, remove 4oz. fill bottle assy (745163) and replace button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) and
torque to 35-40 inch lbs.
10. Carefully remove button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) from rear hole (
WARNING:
Rear hole could be under
pressure.) and attach 4 oz. fill bottle assy (745163) to rear hole.
11. Tip tool forward approximately 45 degrees and squeeze fill bottle assy (745163). Continue until no air rises in fill bottle assy
(745163).
12. While tool is at 45 degrees, remove fill bottle assy (745163) and replace rear button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572)
and torque to 35-40 inch lbs.
13. Connect tool to air supply and cycle tool ten times.
14. Check .500” (12.70 mm) stroke (we recommend using calipers). With the actuator lever assy (704343) released, check dimension
(A). While holding actuator lever assy (704343) in, check dimension (B). Subtract dimension (A) from dimension (B). If stroke is
not consistent within 1/64" (.0156” or .392 mm) repeat steps 6-14. (See figure below).
"A"
.25 (6.4mm)
"B"
.25 (6.4mm)
