Radius Master Owners Manual
MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE:
The Radius Master is designed to provide years of service with minimal maintenance. There are only
two routine maintenance procedures required to ensure dependable performance.
1. Drain the air filter monthly.
2. Check and fill the hydraulic fluid semiannually with Mobil DTE 25.
FILL PROCEDURE:
A loss of power or erratic action of the upper head may indicate low hydraulic fluid. Cutting power is
achieved by transmitting high pressure oil fro the booster to the upper portion of the hydraulic cylinder.
Use the following procedure for checking the oil level if necessary.
1. Remove cylinder rod screw, located at the top center of the upper die shoe.
2. Remove table.
3. Remove 1/2 NPT pipe plug, located in the top portion of “T” fitting.
4. Fill fitting with Mobile DTE 25 (or equivalent) to mid-point of fitting threads. Replace plug and
tighten securely.
5. Extend and retract the cylinder rod several times, noting the length of stroke. Any air in the
system will rise to the top of the fitting. Re-check the oil level, and again securely tighten the
plug. Repeat this process until the oil level remains constant and the cylinder stroke is
approximately 1/2 inch.
6. Check all connections for leak, and then replace the table. Install the screw into the cylinder rod
end, and adjust the die set opening to 3/16 inches.
