INTRODUCTION
The 13-HHC-B 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 screw driver.
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 13-HHC is not to be used for hot line work.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
It is the operators responsibility to read and
understand the following safety statements,
• Only qualified operators should install, operate,
adjust, maintain, clean, repair, or transport this
machinery.
• Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn or
damaged parts. Failure to observe these warning
can result in severe injury or death.
Keep hands away from the cutter head
assembly head when cutting.
To help prevent personal injury,
• Always wear eye protection whenever
operating hydraulic equipment.
• Always wear hearing protection as
required.
• Operation, repair, or maintenance of hydraulic
equipment should be performed by a qualified
person who understands the proper function of
hydraulic equipment per local directives and
standards.
• Hydraulic equipment must be assembled correctly
and then checked for proper function before use. Use
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.
• Do not exceed cutting capacity of materials listed on
sheet one. Cutting of too large or too hard materials
could cause blades to shatter and cause injury.
• This tool is not insulated. When using this
unit near energized electrical lines, use
proper personal protective equipment.
• Do not cut piano or music wire.
• Do not operate cutter with top support open.
• Properly dispose of all fluids, components, and
assemblies at the end of their useful life.
• Hydraulic fluid should be compatible with all
hydraulic components.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Insert material to be cut between blades.
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.
Pump lever handle to close bottom blade on material.
After a few strokes, a slight click will be heard indicating that the pump has shifted into the high-
pressure stage. Continue pumping lever until material has been cut.
To retract piston, lift lever handle slightly and rotate handle clockwise until it stops. Push handle
downward until pressure release plunger has been depressed and piston retracted. Lifting lever
slightly at any time will stop piston retraction.
Note:
After extended use or cutting hard materials, blades will become worn and pitted. Kit No. 4-1235
is available from the factory for blade replacement. Replace worn or damaged blades to maintain
safe, efficient cutting operations.
Blade Replacement (Kit No. 4-1235)
To replace top blade, withdraw pull pin assembly and open top support. Remove slotted screw
and top blade. Insert new top blade with flat side facing bottom blade and secure with new
slotted screw and lockwasher.
To replace bottom blade, advance piston until bottom blade screw is exposed. Remove hex socket screw and bottom
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.
Internal Relief Valve
If cutter fails to cut properly when blades appear to be in good condition, the internal relief valve may have lost its
proper setting (See “Pressure Gage Port”)
Pressure Gage Port
This cutter features a port for the installation of a gage to determine the high-pressure relief valve setting. (See 4-
0790 Gage Assembly)
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, 4-1161 Seal Kit and 4-1065 are available for
replacing seals in the cutter head sub-assembly and in the pump mechanism sub-assembly.

Filling Reservoir
To add or replace oil in the cutter, retract blade completely. Loosen the reservoir
handle stop screw and remove the handle. Remove the reservoir plug and O-ring seal. Pull the stem of the reservoir
bladder out as far as possible. Add oil until it fills the stem. See “Compatible Hydraulic Fluids” section.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the blade will not extend completely, and pumping becomes easier, it will generally be found that there is an
insufficient amount of oil in the compressor's hydraulic system. This trouble can also be caused by faulty pump
plunger packing or release valve packing by the pressure release valve being stuck open, or by foreign matter
preventing the release valve balls from seating properly. Faulty packing will usually be detected by excess oil leakage
around the pump plunger. A stuck valve ball can usually be freed by rapping the tool sharply.
Avoid damage to other parts in the process of rapping. Foreign matter can frequently
be flushed from a valve seat by pumping very rapidly with abrupt strokes.
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; pump plunger, and pressure release valve plunger to
lubricate these parts. 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 13-HCR TOOL
1. Fully retract tool ram and make sure all pressure has dissipated.
2. Place tool in a vise with handles pointing upward. Remove adhesive label covering slot in cylinder.
3. 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 pump assembly from cylinder assembly, holding discharge spring in place.
6. Apply lubricant to groove in end cap of remote tool and to retaining wire.
7. Insert end cap into back end of cylinder assembly. Rotate cylinder assembly until hole in end cap appears in
slot in cylinder.
8. Place hooked end of new wire from conversion kit into hole in end cap. 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.
