2.1) Setting
The head must be transported by two people, always using the handles provided.
Always use RHU1000 on a level and stable surface, e.g the ground. Alternatively, the head may be
suspended for use via the lifting eye (47) (refer to
§ 2.7
).
The head is equipped with a “self-lock” quick male coupler and can be connected to
Cembre
single acting hydraulic pumps developing 700 bar (10,000 psi) pressure.
Otherwise it’s possible to convert the presshead for use with a double acting pump developing 700
bar (10,000 psi) (refer to
§ 4
).
- SINGLE ACTING COMPRESSION
– Connect the pump hose to the presshead which is equipped with a “self-lock” quick male coupler
and can be connected to a Cembre hydraulic pump developing 700 bar (10,000 psi) pressure.
- DOUBLE ACTING COMPRESSION
– Convert the head following instructions as per
§ 4
.
– Check that the power source develops 700 bar (10,000 psi) pressure.
Pay attention to the correct connection of the hoses to the pressure and return ports.
– Connect the return hose to the return port on the power source, then to the female upper coupler
on the head. Connect the pressure hose to the lower male coupler on the head, then to the pressure
port on the power source.
Hydraulic flow reversal causes malfunction in operation and may result in severe injury or death.
2.2) Die insertion/extraction
– Select the appropriate die set as recommended by
the lug or sleeve manufacturer.
– Insert one die in the upper seat of the top die holder
(200) until it is locked; to ease the die insertion, keep
the pin (43a) depressed.
– Likewise, insert the other die into the seat on the
ram (202) by pressing the pin (43b).
Never pressurise the head without
top die holder and dies in place as
serious damage and /or personal
injury may result.
