ACTUATING THE TFA15TI
Follow the Tool Operation instructions (see Section 3),
using the following instructions to actuate the TFA15TI
tool.
When advance (+) is selected, pumping the handle will
advance the Alignment Piston.
RETRACTING THE TFA15TI
Selecting retract (-) will depressurise the cylinder and
cause it to retract under the force of its internal spring.
The handle does not need to be pumped to retract the
tool.

TFA15TI TOOL FUNCTION
HYDRAULIC TOOL OPERATION
Prior to operation, ensure the air-vent in the integral hand
pump is not obstructed. Any obstruction in the air-vent
can cause a vacuum in the system which can limit the
cylinder’s travel.
AIR-VENTS
The TFA15TI uses a hydraulic cylinder to advance the
Alignment Piston and align the flanges. The hydraulic
pressure is applied using the integrated hand pump,
enabling accurate control of the force applied.
The integral hand pump has a control lever which allows
the user to select advance (+) or retract (-).
