SECTION II
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR NEW HYTORC
READ CAREFULLY: Most malfunctions, in new equipment, are the result of improper operation
and/or set-up.
PREPARATION: Remove HYTORC equipment from shipping container.
INSPECTION: Visually inspect all components for any damage during transportation. If damages
are found, notify HYTORC immediately.
2-1 Working Pressure The tool’s maximum
working pressure is 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2, 690 Bar)
Make sure that all hydraulic equipment used is rated
for 10,000 PSI operating pressure. To set pump
pressure for XXI models to 10,000 PSI for both
advance & retract, locate selector valve underneath
the couplers. Turn the pump off and loosen the lock
nut. Turn the center screw counter-clockwise until
it stops. Tighten the lock-nut. For Avanti & Stealth
models, turn the center screw clockwise until it stops.
Tighten the lock-nut to set the pump pressure to 1,500
PSI for retract.
2-2 Hydraulic Connections With older style pumps, (SST-10, SST-20),
the retract side of the system may remain pressurized after the pump
has been switched “off”. This trapped pressure makes it impossible to
loosen the retract-side fittings by hand. To release the pressure, find
the 5/16 manual override holes in the end of the black solenoids on the
pump. With a welding rod, Allen-key or similar device, push in on the
ends of both solenoids, each in turn, and the residual pressure will be
released. All fittings will, then, be hand tightened again. Hoses and
couplers must be free and unobstructed before and during the operation
of the tool. External impact on the couplers may break off the fittings.
Current pump models are equipped with an auto-pressure relief. Never disconnect or connect any
hydraulic hoses or fittings without first unloading wrench and the pump. Double check the gauge
reading to assure pressure has been released.
When making connections with quick disconnect couplings, make sure the cou
lin
s are full
en
a
ed.
Threaded connections such as fittings and gauges must be clean and securely tightened and leak free.
CAUTION: Loose or improper threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized. Severe
over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Never grab, touch or in any way come in contact
with a hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil can penetrate the skin and cause injury.
