1. Do not pump the tool to closed jaw position
when the dies are not placed in the head. This
can place excessive pressure on the jaws result-
ing in fracture or distortion of the jaws. If the
jaws are mistakenly closed without the dies, do
not continue to apply pressure by further
pumping. If jaws are closed without die, loosen
the bypass (48) and the release (45) valve.
2. Keep the tool clean and free from dirt or metal
particles, especially around the head, dies and
ram (14) of the tool.
3. Check the oil level periodically and use clean
oil as recommended. Never mix different
brands or types of oil as deterioration of the oil
seals may result.
4. Do not adjust bypass cartridge.
