Release the
‘Advance’ button on the control pendant. The tool will automatically retract and the
gauge pressure will build up to between 80 & 90 bar.
Repeat the advance and retract cycle at least 10 times to fully purge the air from the system.
Visually inspect the system for leaks.
(Low-Pressure leak test)
With the motor running the retract hose/s still contains 80 - 90 bar pressure.
DO NOT TOUCH.
NOTE:
When longer hoses are used (greater than 5m), the above procedure may not remove all
the air from the system. In these cases, contact your Hi-Force representative for advice on pre-filling
hoses with hydraulic oil.
Press and hold the ‘Advance’ button again. While doing so, adjust the relief valve by turning the
knob clockwise until the maximum working pressure (700 bar) is reached. The pressure can be
reduced by turning the knob anti-clockwise. The pressure setting can be locked at the desired value
by tightening the wing nut under the adjusting knob clockwise.
Cycle the pump 2-3 times to full pressure making sure both the pump and connected tool/s operate
smoothly through the entire pressure range.
Visually inspect the system for leaks.
(High-Pressure leak test)
With the motor running the retract hose/s still contains 80-90 bar pressure.
DO NOT TOUCH.
Switch off the pump unit by
pressing the ‘Stop’ button (see
figure 5.6
) on the control pendant (18)
and check the tool and connections for any leaks. If leaks are found, these
MUST
be rectified before
commencing with any torque operation.
