OPERATION
PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES
CHECK POWER SOURCE
1.Using a calibrated flowmeter and pressure gauge, make sure the hydraulic power source develops a flow of
2.Make sure the power source is equipped with a re- lief valve set to open at
3.Check that the dual spool valve is set to the hydrau- lic system type
CHECK TOOL
1.Make sure all tool accessories are correctly in- stalled. Failure to install tool accessories properly can result in damage to the tool or personal injury.
2.There should be no signs of leaks.
3.The tool should be clean, with all fittings and fasten- ers tight.
CHECK TRIGGER MECHANISM
1.Check that the trigger operates smoothly and is free to travel between the ON and OFF positions.
SETTING THE DUAL SPOOL FOR OPERATION
IMPORTANT
This tool is furnished with a
referred to as a “dual spool” which permits
adjustment so the tool may be operated on either a
set to the
SETTING FOR OPEN-CENTER (OC) OR CLOSED-CENTER (CC) OPERATION
To set the tool for OC system operation turn the selec- tor screw located in the top of the valve spool fully out
To set the tool for CC system operation turn the selector
screw located in the top of the valve spool fully in (clock- wise) until it bottoms.
TO DISABLE DUAL SPOOL OPERATION AND CONVERT TO OC ONLY OPERATION
Turn the selector screw located in the top of the valve spool fully out
1.Insert the small plug from the kit (furnished with the tool) into the hole located in the top of the selector screw. Tap the plug down using a small punch and hammer. DO NOT USE ANY ADHESIVES.
TO DISABLE DUAL SPOOL OPERATION AND CONVERT TO CC ONLY OPERATION
1.Turn the selector screw located in the top of the valve spool fully in (clockwise) until it bottoms.
2.Insert the small plug from the kit (furnished with the tool) into the hole located in the top of the selector screw. Tap the plug down using a small punch and hammer. DO NOT USE ANY ADHESIVES.
CONNECTING HOSES
1.Wipe all hose couplers with a clean
2.Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source to the tool fittings or quick disconnects. It is a good practice to connect return hoses first and discon- nect them last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure within the tool.
3.Observe the arrow on the couplers to ensure that the flow is in the proper direction. The female cou- pler on the tool is the inlet (pressure) coupler.
4.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON position to operate the tool.
NOTE:
If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in- crease inside the hoses can make them difficult to connect. If possible, connect the free ends of the hoses together.
