Connecting The Pump
1. Remove shipping plugs from pump outlet ports.
2. Connect hoses to pump. To seal threads, use thread
sealing paste or thread sealing tape. See Figure 5.
When using sealing tape, apply tape one thread back from the end of fitting to
prevent tape from entering the hydraulic system.
3. Install a pressure gauge in-line from the pump for added safety and better control (optional).
4. Connect the hose assembly to your crimper.
Venting
This RY16-HP hand pump is designed for non-vented operation.
The oil fill plug can be loosened if needed to vent air from the system but should be
closed before using the pump.
Air Bleeding
Removing air from the hydraulic system will help the crimper to close and retract smoothly.
RY16-HP
1. Loosen or remove the oil fill plug to perform the following air bleeding procedures
2. Completely close the release valve by hand.
3. Position the pump in a horizontal position at higher level than the RY16 Crimper.
4. Operate pump to close the crimper completely.
5. Open release valve to retract the crimper. This will force any trapped air to move up
into the pump reservoir.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 as needed, until the crimper closes and retracts smoothly.
7. Add oil if necessary and refit oil fill plug.
IMPORTANT: To prevent contaminants from entering the hydraulic system,
do not operate pump with oil fill plug loosened or removed.
