INTRODUCTION
The 6-HCR Hydraulic Cutter Remote is a lightweight,
compact and extremely durable tool that has been designed
for cutting a wide variety of materials.
The Cutter features insert type blades that can be easily
replaced in the field with the use of only a screwdriver. Other
features include a hinged “ Flip Top” Head and a full 360
Degrees of head rotation.
The Cutter can be operated with any suitable hand or power
pump capable of pressure output of 10,000 PSI. No special
control valves are required since the cutter piston is spring
returned.
The 6-HCR is not to be used for hot line work.

hydraulic components of the same hydraulic
pressure ratings. An appropriate hydraulic pressure
gauge is recommended to monitor pressure.
• Never place your hands or other body
parts near a hydraulic fluid leak.
Never use your hands or other body parts
to check for a possible leak.
High pressure fluid can be injected under your skin
causing serious injury and/or infection.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect cutter and hose to any suitable hydraulic pump that has pressure
output of 10,000 PSI. The mating half of quick-coupler supplied with cutter is
Power Team Part No. 25599.
Pump should be equipped with 2 or 3-way valve. Put the valve in the retract
position and retract cutter piston fully.
If part to be cut is very long, open cutter head by pulling out pull pin assembly,
slide cutter over part and close head, locking in place with pull pin assembly
fully engaged.
Place valve in advance position and advance piston with pump until lower
blade closes on material. Continue pumping until material is cut and stop
pump when cut is complete to avoid bottoming out piston in cutter and
pumping over relief valve. Although cutter has been designed to overcome
this, repeated bottoming of piston in tool puts unnecessary load on tool and
shortens the life of relief valve.
Retract piston and remove material from cutter.
Note:
After extended use or cutting hard materials, blades will become worn and
pitted. Kit No. 4-1238 is available from the factory for blade replacement.
Replace worn or damaged blades to maintain safe, efficient cutting operations.

blade. Insert new bottom blade with flat side facing top blade and secure with new screw.
Close top support and replace pull pin assembly. Cutter is now ready for use.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE:
Occasionally lubricate pull pins and pivot pins with a molybdenum disulfide grease. The greatest single cause of
failure for hydraulic tools is dirt. Extreme caution should be used to prevent the entry of contaminant's into the unit.
Oil Leaks
A slight weeping of oil from the ram and pump seals is normal and required to keep moving parts lubricated.
Excessive leakage indicates a need for seal replacement.
Seal Replacement
Maintenance and repairs of this type should only be preformed by properly trained personnel in repair shops under
clean conditions. In addition to all parts shown on keyed parts list, 4-1162 Seal Kit is available for this purpose.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the blade will not extend completely, it will generally be found that there is an insufficient amount of oil in the cutter's
hydraulic system.
If the blade will not retract completely, it will generally be found that there is too much oil in the cutter’s hydraulic
system. Drain enough to permit complete retraction. If the blade will not retract and the oil reservoir is not full, the ram
is likely being held by a deformed washer.
A small amount of leakage is desirable around the ram; to lubricate this part. If enough leakage occurs to cause the
oil to run, the packing should be replaced.
Compatible Hydraulic Fluids:
The use of Amoco Rykon MV oil is recommended. Compatible fluids include:
Mobil DTE 13
Mobil ATF 220
Shell Tellus 32
Arco Dexron III
Citgo AW32
Citgo Dexron III
Other fluids also may be used if they meet or exceed the following specifications:
Viscosity: 180 SSU at 100 degree F.
Flash Point: 350 degree F
Pour Point: -50 degree F

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONVERSION TO 6-HHC TOOL
1. Fully retract tool ram and make sure all pressure has dissipated. Disconnect tool from hose to pump.
2. Remove adhesive label covering slot in cylinder.
3. Using a thin-bladed screwdriver or punch, pry hooked end of retaining wire out of slot in cylinder.
4. Holding hooked end of wire with pliers, rotate cylinder to force retaining wire out of groove and through slot.
Discard wire.
5. Carefully separate end cap assembly from cylinder assembly.
6. Apply lubricant to groove in pump block and to retaining wire.
7. Insert pump block assembly into back end of cylinder assembly, holding discharge spring in place. Rotate
cylinder assembly until hole in pump block appears in slot in cylinder.
8. Place hooked end of new wire from conversion kit into hole in pump block. Align free length of wire along slot
in cylinder. Rotate cylinder assembly in opposite direction to feed wire through slot and into groove.
9. When wire is fully engaged, hooked end will snap out of hole in end cap to permit full head rotation.
Wedge spring pin in slot in cylinder, allowing wire to move freely beneath. Seal slot with new adhesive label.
10. Purge air from remote tool and pump system using normal fill and bleed procedures.
