Hydraulic pumps manufactured by Cembre S.p.A. are developed for use with hydraulic heads.
According to this specific use, they do not need and are not equipped with an oil non-return safety
system.
For this reason, use in applications different from those intended (for example with hydraulic jacks,
lifting systems or similar) can be dangerous for the operator.
Cembre S.p.A. does not accept any liability arising from the use of its hydraulics pumps for ap-
plications different from those listed in its catalogues or other documentation.
Do not use the pump for purposes other than those intended by Cembre S.p.A.
The operator should concentrate on the work being performed and be careful to maintain a ba-
lanced working position.
Avoid dirty surfaces: dust and sand are a danger to any Electro-hydraulic equipment.
Protect the pump and accessories from rain and moisture. Water will damage the pump and battery.
Do not connect the hydraulic head directly to the pump quick coupler but always use the specific
flexible hose.
The pump contains special insulating oil which must not be polluted with any other types of oil.
Never connect to a pump hydraulic heads that still contain oil, namely with the ram not fully retracted;
excess oil could cause the pump to malfunction.
Before disconnecting the flexible hose, check that the ram of the head is completely retracted, in
order to ensure that a sufficient quantity of oil is available for subsequent operations.
The pump is unsuitable for continuous use and should be allowed to cool down following uninter-
rupted, successive crimping operations; for instance, having exhausted a fully charged battery in
one session, delay battery replacement for a few minutes.

- Screw the back of the radio control into place.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
As batteries contain flammable substances such as lithium or other organic
solvents, they may cause heating, rupture or ignition.
WARNING! Do not recharge the batteries. Attempts to recharge may cause rupture or hazard-
ous liquids to leak, which will corrode the equipment.
NOTE: Electronics and batteries must be physically separated before disposal.
Make sure that electronics or batteries are not disposed of in household waste.
- There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced with the incorrect type of battery.
- Do not short circuit, disassemble, deform or heat batteries.
- Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a child swallows a battery, seek immediate medical at-
tention.
- When discarding batteries, insulate the + and - terminals of batteries with insulating/masking
tape. Do not put multiple batteries into the same plastic bag.
- When improperly disposed, batteries may short circuit, causing them to become hot, burst or
ignite.
- Store in a cool place. Keep batteries away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high
humidity. Do not throw batteries onto fire.
3. INSULATED FLEXIBLE HOSE
High pressure flexible hoses are subject to a natural ageing process which can result
in a reduction in performance potentially affecting safety of the operator. As a result
their life span is limited. In order to ensure safe use of their units, Cembre recommends
replacing the hose within 10 years from the date printed on the fittings.
- Before using the pump always check the integrity of the flexible hose and the quick couplers
making sure there are no abrasions, cuts, deformations or swellings.
- Keep the flexible hose away from naked flames and sources of heat above 158°F (70°C).
- The factory fitted guards must be in place at each end of the flexible hose.
- Do not touch the flexible hose when under pressure.
- When using the pump, the flexible hose must be uncoiled and laid out straight.
The standard flexible hose is 33 ft (10 m) long. It is used to deliver oil under pressure, generated
by the pump, to the cutting head and as an insulating element between the head and the pump.
The insulated flexible hose is completely filled with an insulating oil with dielectric properties
which insulate the pump from the cutting head
The working range of the cutting head is 33 ft from the pump; this distance allows the
proper communication between the head and the pump.
In case longer insulated flexible hoses are used and the pump is kept outside of the
manhole, it is possible that the wireless blade travel sensor signal will not reach the pump.

4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (Cutting operation)
A protected zone must be established around the work place where entry is forbidden.
STEP 1- Checking and testing the pump prior to cutting operations
Check all components (cutting head, flexible insulated hose, couplings and pump) before use to
verify there is no damage or leakage.
To use the cutting heads, carefully follow the instructions in the specific operation manual.
Checking and testing the unit prior to any cutting operations:
Check the battery charge and recharge it if necessary following the instructions in the battery
charger user manual. When a cutting operation begins, a check is made to determine whether
the battery charge is sufficient to complete the cutting operation. If this is not the case the
pump does not start. The LED (4) light will FLASH intermittently and the buzzer (5) will emit
an audible signal coordinated with the LED light.
Remove the battery from the pump.
Connect the flexible hose first to the cutting head and then to the pump (Ref. to Fig. 5).
Insert the battery into the pump.
Activate the pump by pressing forward the control button (11) on the pump,
the display lights up and the pump setting is displayed.
Turn on the radio control by pressing the ON/OFF button (1), the LED will
flash green, after 3 minutes the radio control automatically switches off.
Press the pump button (2) on the radio control to perform a test cutting operation.
During the operation the pump's LED light will FLASH intermittently and the buzzer will
emit an audible signal coordinated with the LED light (0.4s ON 0.4s OFF).
At the end of the operation when the max. pressure is reached, the pump will stop, the LED
light will FLASH intermittently and the buzzer will emit an audible signal coordinated with
theLED light (4s ON 1sOFF) the display will show the following flashing screen
(Ref. to section 6.5 for further details).
Release the finger from the radio control so to allow the pump proceeding
with the SMART RELEASE operation thus check that the blades are fully retracted to the start
position.
Remove the battery from the pump.
Disconnect the flexible hose from the pump and cutting head.
Cutting operations must be strictly in accordance with the
safety and working procedures established by the respon-
sible power utility.

At the end of the operation, in the event of a very quickly flashing LED
light (0.1s ON 0.1s OFF) and an intermittent buzzer coordinated with
the LED light, this is to inform the operator that the maximum pres-
sure has not been reached. The display will show the following flashing screen
"ERROR" (Ref. to section 6.6 for further details).
STEP 2 – Bringing the cutting head down into the manhole
Secure the pump in proximity of the manhole or to the ladder, using the shoulder strap supplied
(Ref. to Fig. 6). The maximum distance between the cutting head and the pump is 33 ft (10
m) assuming that the pump is positioned in proximity of the manhole or on the ladder under
the street level.
Do not place the pump on dirty surfaces or in the presence of water.
Lower the cutting head and the flexible hose into the manhole.
Position the blades of the cutting head perpendicularly around the cable that has been identi-
fied for the cut, as described in the operation manual of the cutting head.
Stabilize the cutting head position and support the head by strapping it to the above wires or
cable holders. It is possible to hook the cutting head with the SS-TCY strap hooked to the hang-
ing points of the head.
Connect one end of the grounding wire to the cutting head and the other end to the relevant
grounding attachment (Ref. to operation manual of the cutting head).
Connect the flexible hose to the cutting head (Ref. to Fig. 5),
the operator should now leave the manhole.
After all personnel have exited the manhole or cable space,
connect the flexible hose to the pump (Ref. to Fig. 5).
Insert the battery.
Wake up the pump by pressing forward the control button (11)
(display ON).
STEP 3 – Cutting operation
A protected zone must be established around the work place where entry is forbidden.
Switch on the radio control by pressing the start ON/OFF button (1), the LED will flash green.
In proximity of the manhole, at a safe distance, push the pump button (2) on the radio control
to start the cutting operation (Ref. to Fig. 4). The maximum distance between radio control
and pump is 66 ft (20 m) if within line of sight.
During the cutting operation the pump's LED light will flash intermittently and the
buzzer emits an audible signal coordinated with the LED light (0.4s ON 0.4s OFF).
In the event that the buzzer is not heard, hold the pump button (2) for 1 minute, after
1 minute the pump button can be released to start the automatic release of the cutting blades.

5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (Crimping operation)
The pump is suitable for use with Cembre KV type protected crimping heads.
The default settings of the pump are:
- Operating mode: CUTTING (Ref. to section 6.2 to choose CRIMPING operating mode).
- Oil release mode: SMART (Ref. to section 6.3 for further details).
- Pump control mode: RADIO ON, operated by radio remote control only (Ref. to section 6.4 for
further details).
For a crimping operation select the crimping mode via the display, before starting any
crimping operations.
When the crimping mode is active, the LED light (4) and the buzzer (5) are deactivated.
When the battery is removed from the pump or after 1hour of inactivity (display OFF),
once you wake the pump up, it will always start with the default setting:
CUTTING MODE, SMART RELEASE and RADIO ON.
Connect the flexible hose, first to the head and then to the pump.
Press the control button (11) on the pump once to activate the pump, display ON.
Switch on the radio control by pressing the ON/OFF button (1).
Press the pump button (2), this activates the motor of the pump that feeds
the hydraulic head connected to it, pressurizing the oil.
Once the set pressure (Pn) is reached the pump will be switched off automati-
cally, the display will briefly showthemaximumpressurereached (Pp)followed
by “OK” to confirm the correct operation.
Releasing the pump button before the automatic stopping of the motor will
cause the pump to stop, keeping the oil pressure stable (Pp) at its current pres-
sure level. To complete the operation press the pump button once more until
the motor stops automatically.
At the end of the cycle, releasing the pump button will start the automatic
release of the ram and will allow return of the oil to the oil reservoir in the
pump (Ref. to section 6.3 for further details).
The display "ERROR" combined with 3 beeps and the LED flashing,
indicates an incorrect crimping procedure; the oil return phase oc-
curred too early without waiting for the motor to be automatically
switched off and therefore the minimum set pressure was not reached.
Repeat the crimping cycle by holding down the start button until the motor is automatically
switched off.
When a crimping head is used, always press and hold the pump button until the motor stops
automatically.

once you wake the pump up, it will always start with the default setting, SMART mode.
6.3.1) Extended release phase
If necessary, the phase of discharging the oil into the pump’s tank can be extended, leaving the
release valve open for 60 seconds.
This function is useful in the event that the blades are jammed after the cutting operation. It allows
the operator to work on the cutting head using both hands in case of a blade jamming.
To activate "extended release" proceed as follows:
- Press quickly (3 times within 2 seconds) the release button on the radio con-
trol RRC1 or the button (11) backward on the pump if RC mode is disabled.
The operation is then reported on the display by a counter associated with an
intermittent buzzer.
- In order to stop the countdown before reaching zero, press the pump button
on the radio control once for 2 seconds.
