MAINTENANCE
TOOLING: it is absolutely necessary to keep the arbor and expanding
segment sets clean and lubricated at all times. Many types of lubrication
may be used. Any lubrication, such as a grease type, may require cleaning
more often as burrs will be held in the lubrication. If expanding tools
become stuck in the tube this may be due to debris in the lubrication. To
remove the tooling from the tube, relax the tooling and slightly tap the
tube toward the gun head.
NEVER TRY TO FORCE STUCK TOOLING BY HAMMERING ON THE
GUN HEAD.
Tools should be stored carefully: clean and lubricated in the proper
location of the housing provided. Mishandling or abuse can result in
damage or breakage. Abuse of tooling or other parts will void the
warranty.
RESERVOIR: The reservoir should be checked for oil level occasionally.
The vent cap/dip stick is removed. The dip stick has two notches on it. The
oil level should never go below the bottom notch. Never fill the reservoir
above the top notch. Any I.S.O. Grade 46 hydraulic oil may be used. `
PRIMING THE PUMP UNIT
If the pump must be primed, use the following procedure.
1.
Press the release end of the pedal while holding down the air intake
valve with a flathead screwdriver. The air intake valve is located
directly under the pedal at the air supply end of the pump. The valve is
depressed simultaneously with the release end of the foot pedal
during priming.
2.
Allow the pump to cycle approximately 15 seconds.
