Hydraulic Requirements and Plumbing
NOTICE
When installing a new tool
circuit or hydraulic lines, flush
all the tool circuit lines with
hydraulic oil prior to connecting
the PowerGrip. This will help
remove any contaminants from
the circuit components which
may have accumulated during
manufacturing and/or installation.
Plumbing
Hose and tube size recommendations can be
found in the Tool Circuit Requirements Chart
shown on Page 4.
The position of the hoses is important for reliable
operation. Refer to the Suggested Hose Routings
Chart on Page 10 for suggested hose routings.
Connect hydraulic hoses to the appropriate ports.
Be sure the hoses do not cross, foul, crush or
chafe when operating the PowerGrip or machine.
Verify proper hose routing for all possible positions
of the PowerGrip and all attachments, which are to
be used with the PowerGrip. Repair any oil leaks
immediately.
Installing and Removing
Hyrdualic LInes
The manifold incorporates two ports for hydraulic
hose connections, Port V1 and Port V2. When
pressure is applied to Port V1 the jaw opens;
when pressure is applied to Port V2 the
jaw closes.
After installing the PowerGrip onto the equipment
and attaching the hydraulic lines, it is important
that all safety devices are properly reattached.
