4.
Fill the cylinder with a high quality hydraulic jack oil, up to the oil plug
opening.
5.
Follow the steps in Bleeding the Hydraulic System.
BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Bleed excess air from the hydraulic system as follows:
1.
Open the release valve by turning it counterclockwise.
2.
Remove the oil filler screw and fill the pump with hydraulic fluid.
3.
Wait 5 minutes for trapped air to rise to the surface.
4.
Pump the handle or pedal for several full strokes to eliminate any air in
the system.
5.
Check the oil filler hole and if necessary, top off with more hydraulic oil.
6.
Restore the oil filler screw. Close the release valve by turning clockwise.
7.
Test the ram several times for proper operation before putting it into use.
Do not use the ram if it still does not appear to be working properly. Have
a qualified service technician service or repair the hydraulic system.
FLUSHING THE VALVE
1.
Lower the saddle and securely close the release valve.
2.
Manually lift the saddle several inches.
3.
Open the release valve and force the saddle down as quickly as possible.
AIR TOOL LUBRICATION
NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool. Penetrating
oil acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s grease packing and may
damage the o-rings, causing the tool to seize or malfunction.
1.
All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion during
shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a generous amount of
air tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool under no load until the
exhaust is clear.
2.
Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s coupler plug
before each use and after every hour of continuous use. The tool will not
work properly without lubrication and parts will wear prematurely.
3.
Avoid adding too much air tool oil as this can cause premature power loss
and eventual tool failure. A qualified technician will need to take the tool
apart and clean out the excess oil.
