OIL-LEVEL CHECK (ADD OIL)
As the tool is hydraulically operated, the oil-level must be checked at frequent intervals,
preferably once a year. Failure to maintain the oil at the proper level results in a drop in
pressure and loss of power.
CAUTION:
Hydraulic oil is highly flammable. Keep away from sparks and naked flame.
Do not smoke. Hydraulic oil may cause inflammation of the eyes and skin. If ingested,
it could cause diarrhea and vomiting. In case of eye contact, rinse in clean water for at
least 15 minutes and consult a physician. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with
soap and water. In case of ingestion, consult a physician immediately. Do not induce
vomiting.
1.
Oil should be warm but not hot.
2.
If piston is still moving, run the piston out to full extension (
PUSH
).
3.
Unplug tool from power source.
4.
Remove oil-plug and seal-washer (packing).
CAUTION:
Never remove oil-plug when unit is hot or oil will spurt out.
5.
Check that oil is level with bottom of plug hole (i.e. that pump case if full to the
brim). If oil level is low, top up with fresh hydraulic oil with anti-foam and
anti-abrasion properties (ISO viscosity grade VG32, e.g. Tellus S2 M 32 (Shell) or
DTE-24 (Mobil).
6.
After topping up, extract air from system. Gently tilt tool lengthwise and return it to
a level position. Top up again and tilt in the opposite direction. Repeat this process
until all air has been extracted.
CARE: Tool cannot function properly if oil contains air bubbles.
7.
Replace oil-plug. The operation is now complete.
8.
If oil level is too low
, Remove Air bag cover A&B.
9.
Fill the tool with fresh oil. Replace the plug and lightly tighten. Connect the tool to
the power source. Adjust the mode control lever and run the piston to retract
(
PULL
). When the piston is completely retracted in the start position. Unplug the
tool and remove the oil-plug to let overflow oil together with air (bubbles).
10.
Gently tilt tool lengthwise and return it to a level position. Slowly fill the tool with
fresh oil again. Replace the plug and lightly tighten. Connect the tool to the power
source and advance the piston a few millimeters. Unplug the tool and remove the
oil-plug. Top up oil-level and replace the plug.
11.
Repeat this process till piston completely extension (
PUSH
). And squeeze the air
bag with both hands, then take out unnecessary oil together with air bubble from
the system. Check that oil is level with bottom of plug hole. This is full level of oil.
