BLEEDING OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
HYDRAULIC PUMP OIL LEVEL
This Footage Tools’ Hydraulic Squeeze Off Tool is sold in one configuration; fine
controlled release. This fine controlled unit has a needle valve with a built-in orifice in
the high-pressure pump line.
The tool is powered by an air operated, hydraulic pump which is a single speed pump
that gives the high pressures needed to squeeze large diameter pipe. Requiring 60 to
120 psi air supply pressure to operate, this pump is safer than an electrically operated
pump in the potentially explosive atmosphere near a gas main. The pump is equipped
with an air filter/regulator/lubricator to ensure it will operate properly
.
Ensure the
filter/regulator/lubricator is in good operating condition and filled with air tools oil.
The pump contains a 3-position control valve. Pushing the control valve lever clockwise
will allow oil to be pumped through the needle valve and to effect the squeezing
operation of the tool. Similarly, pulling the control valve lever fully counter-clockwise will
allow oil to be pumped to release (open) the tool. The neutral position (center) -
pump will stop building pressure, while holding existing pressure in the hose.
Cleanliness is critical while checking and refilling oil. Use a funnel with a
filter. Do not allow any dirt to enter the reservoir.
2) If motion of the tool seems jerky, bleeding air from the system may be necessary. To
accomplish this, join the two hoses together, eliminating the tool as shown in the photo.
A bypass valve, set at 10,000 PSI, is built into the
pump to prevent over-pressurization.
PRELIMINARY ASSEMBLY:
1) Ensure the pump is filled with good quality, ISO 32
weight, hydraulic oil. To check or refill, connect the
pump to the tool, retract the cylinder, and release
system pressure. (Failure to follow this instruction may
result in overfilling the reservoir – this could result in
the fill cap venting excessive oil and creating a spill.)
With the pump level and resting horizontally on the
base, remove cap and fill up to 1-1/2" from top and
recap.
Ensure the reservoir oil is topped up. Fully
open needle valve by turning knob counter
clockwise. Place the pump control valve to
"squeeze" and pump for 2 minutes. Place
the pump control valve to "Release" and
pump for 1 minute. Return the valve to the
"Neutral" position. Disconnect the hoses
and assemble them to the tool.
Cycle the tool fully open, to fully closed, a few times. Repeat if necessary
. Ensure
the reservoir is topped up again, having the tool in the closed position.
