FILLING & BLEEDING PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
704153 and 745163 air bleeder ass’y & fill bottle ass’y are required.
NOTE:
To replace a small amount of fluid follow bleeding steps 5-6
.
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, however, if it is not
properly applied, pieces of Teflon may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or 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.

FILLING:
1. Put the piston rod wrench (704149) into the top of handle (704132), pushing down firmly until piston rod ass’y (704138) is
completely in the down position.
2.
Fill oil passage and reservoir with Automatic Transmission Fluid Dexron III. The reservoir is the area surrounding the power
cylinder (751131). When looking at the top of the handle (704132) the oil passage is the hole that has a counter bore for
o’ring (S832). Do not overfill causing oil to go in air passage hole.
3. Install o’ring (S832), gasket (704129), button head cap screws (A-928) and manifold-handle (744303) to handle (704132) keeping
hydraulic hose (A-336) towards plug (704313).
4. Push piston (752507) full forward. Install gasket (704129), o’ring (S832) and socket head cap screws (400061 & 400066) on
manifold-head ass’y (744306). Assemble head cylinder ass’y (752124) to manifold-head ass’y (744306). Apply Loctite 242 to all
cap
screws.
5. Coil tool up on bench and lay handle (704132) down on side so that the hole marked #3 is to the bottom. Rest head cylinder ass’y
(752124) over a small bucket or can. Completely fill, fill bottle ass’y (745163).
6. Connect fill bottle ass’y (745163) to manifold-handle (744303) hole marked #2. Remove button head cap screw (402482) and
stat-o-seal (S572) from manifold –handle (744303).
7.
In one continuous squeeze force fluid into manifold-handle (744303) until oil starts to flow from bleeder hole marked #4 on
manifold-head ass’y (744306). While still squeezing the fill bottle ass’y (745163) use other hand to replace button head cap screw
(402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) This may require two people.
8. Remove fill bottle ass’y (745163) and replace stat-o-seal (S572) and button head cap screw (402482).
BLEEDING:
1. Stand handle (704132) on floor, stretch hose and head assembly upward and lay flat on a table or bench. When bleeding tool al-
ways keep the head assembly higher than the handle assembly.
2. Attach air bleeder ass’y (704153) to manifold-handle (744303) hole marked #3 in an upright position.
3. Connect the tool to air supply and cycle tool 10 times holding the lever ass’y (724017) down for 2-3 seconds between cycles to
remove any air from the tool.
4. Disconnect air supply. Remove air bleeder ass’y (704153) from manifold-handle (744303) and replace with button head cap screw
(402482) and stat-o-seal (S572).
5.
Remove button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572) from hole marked #4 on manifold-head ass’y (744306) and attach
air bleeder ass’y (704153) in an upright position
6. Connect air supply. Cycle tool 10 times removing any air bubbles.
7. Disconnect air supply. Remove air bleeder ass’y (704153) and replace button head cap screw (402482) and stat-o-seal (S572).
8. Connect air supply. Cycle tool 5-6 times and check stroke of .500” (see diagram below). We recommend using dial calipers.
With the lever ass’y (724017) released, check dimension (A). Holding lever ass’y (724017) check dimension (B). Subtract
dimension (A) from dimension (B). If stroke is not consistent within 1/64" (.0156) repeat bleeding steps 5-6.
