IDT-12-N Hydraulic Crimping Tool
Air Purging and Oil Filling Procedure
Fill the reservoir with Exxon Univis
®
J26 all temperature
hydraulic oil only.
Do not fill the hydraulic reservoir with any other type
of fluid (such as brake fluid, glycerine, castor oil, etc.).
Filling the reservoir with anything other than hydraulic
fluid will damage the tool and void the warranty.

while pressing down on the handle.
3. Pump the handle one partial stroke.
4. Peel out the rubber plug (26) and remove the set
screw (27) from the reservoir handle (1).

While holding a
clean
shop cloth over the reservoir,
retract the ram fully. Repeat several times to purge
all of the air from the system.

retracted, fill the reservoir until it overflows.
10. Replace the plug (25) and wipe off excess oil.
11. Pump the handle one stroke and install the reservoir
