1990 Hydraulic Crimping Tool
Air Purging and Oil Filling Procedure
Fill the reservoir with Exxon UNIVIS
®
J26 all tempera-
ture hydraulic oil only.
2. Retract the ram by pulling the release trigger back
while pressing down on the handle.
3. Pump the handle one partial stroke.
4. Peel out the rubber plug (26) and remove the set
screw (27) from the reservoir handle (1).
Do not fill the hydraulic reservoir with any other
type of fluid (such as brake fluid, glycerine, castor
oil, etc.).
Filling the reservoir with anything other than
hydraulic fluid will damage the tool and void the
warranty.
8. Pump the handle several times to advance the ram.
While holding a CLEAN shop cloth over the reser-
voir, retract the ram fully. Repeat several times to
purge all of the air from the system.
9. With the pump handle vertical and the ram fully
retracted, fill the reservoir until it overflows.
10. Replace the plug (25) and wipe off excess oil.
11. Pump the handle one stroke and install the reser-
voir handle (1). Replace the set screw (27).
12. Cover the set screw with a silicone rubber sealant,
such as Dow Corning
®
RTV Sealant 732™ Multi-
Purpose Sealant.
