FILLING AND BLEEDING

 

 

 

 

WARNING: 

Use extreme caution when cycling tool with bleed screw removed. Pressurized oil will spray out of the bleed port. 

 

 

 

   Severe personal injury may occur.

 

Images may not reflect actual tool

 

Fill oil reservoir approx. 3/4 full

4.

 

Provide a suitable container to bleed oil into.

 

 

   

5.

 

Connect air supply to powerunit. Reduce air pressure to 50 psi. (3.45 bar) during bleeding procedure.

Point the bleed port towards a container, push actuator lever down and hold. (Block bleed port using a small piece of rubber 

 

     

material before releasing actuator lever to prevent ingestion of air into powerunit).

 

 

   

7.

 

Repeat until clear oil streams from port. Check reservoir after each cycle and refill when required. Do NOT drain reservoir below
