TROUBLESHOOTING
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing faults in operation of the tool, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the
correct hydraulic fl ow and pressure to the tool as listed in the table. Use a fl owmeter known to be accurate. Check the fl ow with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80°F/27°C.
