OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The DX6H can be operated hydraulically by hooking up the K urt 6" Hydraulic
Unit with a typical hydraulic pump or an air over hydraulic pump. Kurt offers
several solutions for hydraulic pumps, one being the KHP3 air over hydraulic
pump . Kurt offers other pump solutions and can be found on
kurtworkholding.com.
The hydraulic unit (KHU6) on the end of the DX6H has a 1/4 inch stroke.
The KHU6 can be used in both single and double acting applications. For
single acting, a spring will return the vise to the opened position
when
hydraulics are disengaged . If double acting is desired, both ports on the
hydraulic unit will need to be hooked up to a pump (See f igure 2) .
