3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Before using the flaring kit, ensure that you
have read and understood the Safety Instructions
in Section 1.Ensure you are familiar with the various types
of flares before using this equipment.
3.1. Preparation of the Brake Pipe.
3.1.1. The end of the pipe must be cut square
3.1.2. The outside edge of the pipe must be chamfered approx
0.25mm X 45º
3.1.3. The bore of the pipe must be de-burred.
3.1.4. If the pipe is plastic covered, this must be removed for 3mm
from the end of the pipe to be flared. Ensure the pipe is not
scored or any metal removed during the operation.
DO NOT
use abrasive cloth. Blow any debris from the pipe after
flaring.
3.2.
Clamp the tool in a suitable bench mounted vice. Assemble
the lever onto the cam as shown. Loosen the clamping
screw to allow the clamp to swing open.
3.3.
The pipe end to be flared must be cut clean and square and
be de-burred. Use a pipe or tube cutter (available from your
Sealey dealer).
3.4.
Consult Chart 1 and select the die specified to produce the
required flare. Place the die into the cavity as shown with
the split line horizontal and the counterbore towards the
operating lever (fig.1).
3.5.
After the pipe has been prepared as instructed above,
ensure the tube nut is fitted to the pipe. Pass the pipe
through the rear of the die until the prepared end is flush
with the front face of the die. Ensure that both halves of the
die are contacting the die stops (fig.2). Swing the locking
plate into position and tighten the clamping screw. Check
that the position of the pipe and die are still correct.
3.6.
Select required OP.1 punch by rotating the turret so that it is
facing and in line with the pipe (fig.3).
3.7.
Pull the lever to engage the punch into the end of the brake
pipe and continue to form the flare until a solid resistance is
felt (fig.4). Return the handle to the original position to
withdraw the punch. If the required flare calls for a second
operation in Chart 1, rotate the turret until the Op.2 punch is
facing and in line with the brake pipe. Operate the lever to
complete the form of the flare.
Return the lever to the original position to withdraw the
punch. Release the clamping screw and swing the clamp
open and remove the dies with the pipe. If necessary a
gentle tap on a suitable surface will release the dies from
the pipe.
Check the quality of the flare to ensure the pipe did not
move during the flaring.
IMPORTANT
The punches and dies supplied for this tool must only be
used with this equipment.
