OPERATION

PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES

FILL RESERVOIR

IMPORTANT

Mil-H 5606 Hydraulic Oil must not be used in the

reservoir of the intensifier.

1.Remove the vent plug from the top of the intensifier. Fill with clean hydraulic oil filtered to 10 microns or less. Fill to top of high pressure pump as viewed from the filler hole.

IMPORTANT

Do not fill to top of hole. An air space is required for hydraulic oil expansion as oil temperature increases.

2.An over-full reservoir will cause oil leakage from the vent plug as the oil heats. If this condition occurs, remove the vent plug and lower oil level to the point specified.

CHECK HYDRAULIC POWER SOURCE

1.Using a calibrated flowmeter and pressure gauge, check that the hydraulic power source develops a flow of 4–10 gpm/15–38 lpm at 1000–2000 psi/70–

140 bar.

2.Make certain the hydraulic power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at 2100–2300 psi/145–

159 bar maximum.

3.Check that the hydraulic circuit matches the tool for open-center (OC) operation.

CONNECT HOSES

1.Remove the thread protectors and valve caps from the intensifier.

2.Wipe all hose couplers with a clean lint-free cloth before making hose connections.

3.Connect hydraulic lines from the parent circuit to the intensifier inlet fitting. Make certain the “P” (pres- sure) and “T” (tank) hoses are connected to their respective ports. If incorrectly connected, high pres- sure output will not be obtained.

NOTE:

High-pressure couplings must be used for the high- pressure connections at the output side of the in- tensifier.

4.Connect the tool to be used (stretcher, cutter, etc,) to the unit. Refer to the applicable Operation Manual for detailed connection procedures.

5.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON position to operate the intensifier.

NOTE:

If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in- crease within the hoses may make them difficult to connect. When possible, connect the free ends of operating hoses together.

TOOL OPERATION

1.Observe all safety precautions

2.Activate the parent circuit to energize the intensifier. Pressure should now be available at the pressure port of the tool. At this time, the control valve and tool are ready for operation.

3.Verify operating pressure requirements of tool being used and adjust intensifier relief valve as required.

NOTE:

Higher flows and/or high back-pressure will in- crease the output pressure. Adjust the output relief valve under the flow and operating conditions the tool will be used under.

The load valve locks the tool outlet and is to be used to hold the tool in a fixed position. The pressure gauge reads on the tool side of the valve to monitor the load.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

If the tool is to be used during cold weather, preheat the hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the nor- mally recommended fluids, fluid temperature should be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
