CONNECT AIR SUPPLY (this causes the piston to bottom, allowing more priming oil into the tool).
DO NOT OPERATE THE TRIGGER WHILE THE BLEED SCREW IS REMOVED.
All operations should be carried out on a clean bench, with clean hands, in a clean area.
Care MUST be taken, at all times, to ensure that no foreign matter enters the tool, or serious damage may result.
Item numbers in bold refer to the General Assembly of Handle and Parts List on pages 16-17.
•
Prior to starting the priming procedure, obtain a suitable container to collect excess oil.
•
Disconnect the air supply and undo the intensifier oil reservoir cap.
•
Top up the reservoir in the cabinet with VG32 Hyspin
•
Remove Bleed Screw 18 and associated Washer 19 from front of tool.
•
Connect the tool to the air supply.
•
CARE SHALL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE BLEED HOLES ARE NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS THE OPERATOR OR
OTHER PERSONNEL.
•
Place tool handle over the container with bleed hole orientated towards the container and operate the trigger.
•
When oil is ejected from the bleed hole, release the trigger.
•
Operate trigger again, replace Bleed Screw 18 and Washer 19 at front of tool BEFORE releasing trigger again.
•
Disconnect tool from air supply.
•
Remove Bleed Screw 18 and Washer 19 from rear of tool.
•
Connect tool to air supply.
•
Cycle the trigger until oil is ejected from the bleed hole. Release the trigger and replace the Bleed Screw 18 and Washer 19 at the
rear of the tool.
•
Repeat the trigger operating/releasing sequence, allowing a few seconds between cycles to allow priming oil to circulate.
•
Continue until oil flowing from both bleed holes is free of air bubbles, (ensure that the reservoir is not starved of oil, otherwise air
will be drawn into the system introducing air bubbles in the oil stream).
•
When air free oil is flowing from both bleed holes, operate the trigger and tighten the front bleed screw with an Allen key. Release
the trigger and tighten the rear bleed screw with an Allen key.
•
If necessary, top up the oil reservoir.
