Operate the auxiliary cylinder instroke to position the anvil fully home under the wire rope, the
main ram should not be activated until the auxiliary cylinders are operated to the full extent
of their stroke.
Operate the main ram down-stroke to sever the wire rope. Once the wire rope is severed,
Pressurize the main ram retract port to withdraw the cutting blade. Then, and only then, retract
the anvil. It is important not to operate the anvil cylinder whilst the main ram and blade are in
the fully extended position.
If a further cut is required, the above procedure should be repeated.
N.B
. Do not operate the auxiliary cylinders when the main ram is fully extended since this would
damage the anvil.
Please note that this tool has a relief valve fitted which will blow off at approx. 750 bar, DO NOT
leave the pressure on so that the relief valve is continually blowing off.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the wire rope does not cut through completely on the first attempt, cycle the blade by
retracting it slightly and then attempting the cut again.
If the wire rope does not completely cut after multiple cycles of the blade, check the Input
pressure to the main input of the cylinder. This can be a maximum of 700 bar (10,000psi).
If the wire rope to be cut is still not severed after multiple cycles and at a pressure of 700 bar,
Retract the blade and then the anvil and return the tool to the surface for inspection of the
blade and anvil, replace if necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE – ENSURE THAT THE BLADE IS FULLY RETRACTED AND THAT ALL PRESSURE
TO THE CUTTER IS RELIEVED AS IT IS RAISED TO THE SURFACE. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN LEAD
TO A DANGEROUS BUILD UP OF PRESSURE IN THE CYLINDER.
