Operation
Important: Do not operate the tool before reading these instructions
The Auto-Spreader™ HS10K is designed for spreading and lifting. It
is a small, light and powerful precision tool. It generates 10,000 lbs. of
spreading force by using hydraulic power. It is extremely versatile, and
can be used wherever lifting power is needed.
Some Common Applications:
• Flange Spreading
• Controlled Lift, Level, and Align Heavy Equipment
• Shaft Replacement
• Impeller Replacement
• Separate Manways
• Change Gaskets, Turn Blinds
• Hydraulic Model Allows for Remote Opening of Flanges
The Auto-Spreader is simple to use. To spread the feet, connect the hy-
draulic cylinder to a hydraulic pump and pressurize it. To close the feet,
release the pressure of the pump. The cylinder has a spring return.
The Auto-Spreader only needs .09” or 2.3 mm gap to engage the feet. It
has a separating capacity of 3” spread under full load. The high strength
alloy steel forged feet close automatically when the pressure is released.

Note: When using the Auto-Spreader for fl ange spreading, it is recom-
mended that two Auto-Spreaders be used. Place the fl ange spreaders on
opposite sides of the fl ange for even spreading. See fi gure 1.

safe extension is achieved. See fi gure 2.
Creating pressure beyond the 10,000 PSI rated capacity may result
in injury.

Safety Tips
• Always wear the appropriate protective equipment, such as safety
glasses and gloves.
• Always use safety blocks under any load being lifted with the tool,
where possible. See fi gures 3 & 4.
• Never place any body part between the tool and the equipment being
worked on.
• Creating pressure beyond the 10,000 psi rated capacity may result in
injury.
Safety Block Benefi ts
• Multi-Step Design: Each safety block has three
steps - 1”, 2”, & 3”, which allows the operator to
choose the width of fl ange separation.
• Light Weight with Easy Grip Handle: Allows the
operator to easily grip the safety block, even when
wearing gloves.
• Secure Support: After the Auto-Spreader opens
the fl ange, safety blocks are inserted in the gap
between the fl anges. The fl ange spreaders are then
closed to transfer the load to the safety blocks, en-
abling the operator to work more safely on the gasket
surfaces.

Maintenance
Treat the Auto-Spreader like any other precision tool. Keep it clean and
free from moisture. Simply wipe it down with a cloth or paper towel after
use.
If there is damage, due to improper storage or unusual circumstances,
contact Fastorq for handling instructions.
All internal parts are lubricated at the factory and do not need cleaning or
re-lubrication.
All the materials used in the Auto-Spreader were chosen through exten-
sive research. All parts are rated for their intended use, and do not need
fi eld repair. Improper assembly, modifi cation or substitution of other parts
is unsafe, will void the warranty and could damage the tool.
Foot Replacement Kit
After extended usage, the feet may need replacement. These are the
only parts which are fi eld replaceable. Call 1-800-231-1075 for the Auto-
Spreader foot replacement kit, refer to part #RKCF for the center foot kit
or part #RKOF for the outside feet kit.
