OC/CC Setting
Check the open-center/closed-center (OC/CC) setting on the tool. The current
setting is easily determined by looking at the gap between the handle adapter
and the cylinder (Figure 5–1):
• open center—no gap
• closed center—approximately ¼-inch (6-mm) gap
If the setting is not correct for your hydraulic system, follow the instructions in
Section 4, OC/CC Adjustment, to make the change.
Hydraulic Power Source Check
Using a calibrated flowmeter and pressure gauge, check the hydraulic power
source at the tool’s input port. Make sure the system maintains an operating
flow in the range of 3–9 gpm (11–34 lpm) within a pressure range of 1650-
2000 psi (114-140 bar).
The hydraulic fluid temperature should be at least 80°F (27°C) for this test.
Cold Weather Operation
IMPORTANT
—Use an oil with the recommended specifications listed in Table 3–
1. Using oil that is too viscous (thick) can damage the hydraulic system or tool.
Before using the tool in cold weather, preheat the hydraulic fluid with the system
set at a low speed. The oil should be at or above 50°F (10°C) with a viscosity
of 400 SSU (82 cs) before operating the tool.
