4. OPERATE THE PUMP HANDLE (37) until the dies are
closed. If the dies are not clearly visible, the pumping should
continue until a sound from bypass valve (48) is heard. First
Stage, the pumping sound will accompany a reduction in the
force required to close the pump handle.
After first stage has bypassed, pump 5 to 6 more times until it
hits the second stage bypass. If the dies fail to close, it will be
due to:
a) the tool being used for some application for which it was
not designed.
b) the pressure not building up to 700kgs/cm (10,000 psi)
c) the wrong dies being used for the incorrect size sleeve.
