1Important Notice –Read Before Use
2Introduction
This manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of a RCV190 as Allspeeds part
number 980230.
This is a double acting, hydraulically operated tool suitable for cutting steel wire rope and alternative
materials, such as electrical power or communication cables up to 190mm (7.5”) in diameter. It
requires two separate dual line hydraulic supply (feed and return) for the main cutter activation and
the hydraulically operated anvil.
Do not operate the blade unless the anvil is fully closed.
Ensure that the auxiliary cylinders are pressurised (200 bar)
to keep the anvil closed throughout the cut cycle.
Read, understand and follow the instructions within the
operating manual before deploying or operating the RCV190 cutter.
Failing to follow the instructions and operating the cutter with a
partially closed anvil will result in serious damage to the RCV190.
IF IN DOUBT, ASK!
See section 8 for more details

This RCV190 is compatible with the following hydraulic fluids:
Good quality hydraulic oil (e.g. Shell Tellus 32, 68 or similar)
Water glycol (e.g. Castrol Transaqua HT2).
Please note that whilst compatible, the use of water glycol fluids may reduce system life.
Ensure that the fluid used is cleaned to NAS Class 6 or better.
3.3 Environmental Considerations
This cutter should not be operated outside of the recommended temperature range of -5°C to +60°C.
This cutter is suitable for use subsea but should be regularly checked, cleaned and dewatered using a
suitable dewatering spray.

5General Safety Rules
5.1 Warnings
These warning are provided to improve safety and should be carefully read before installing, using or
maintaining the equipment.
5.2 Important Information
It is vital that these instructions are available to the equipment users. It is also important that they
are retained with the equipment if it is sold or transferred to another user.
5.3 Safety for Operation
IMPORTANT - This is an inherently dangerous piece of cutting equipment and is supplied without
guarding. It is vital that the installer and end user perform a risk assessment and implement any
safety features that they deem necessary and enforce a safe system of work before use.
To prevent the risk of injury, the cutter should only be used by fully trained and competent
operators.
•Make sure that all safety devices are in place and functioning correctly
•Make sure the working area is free of any obstructions
•Check that all hydraulic hoses are in good condition
•Ensure that all operators are clear of the area before cutting commences
Recommended PPE for operation and maintenance includes safety shoes, safety glasses, ear
defenders and gloves.
IMPORTANT - If the item being cut is under tension there is the risk of it recoiling when severed.
Ensure that all operators are out of the immediate area before operation.
Any spilt oil or trailing hoses may create a slipping or tripping hazard. Care must be taken around the
work area. Energised hoses may move about during operation and should be fitted with whip-check
devices to contain them in case of a burst.

5.4 Safety for Maintenance
Repairs carried out by untrained or unauthorised personnel may result in personal injury or serious
malfunction of the tool.
Ensure that the cutter is isolated from and free of hydraulic pressure before any maintenance is
carried out.
5.5 Warning Symbols
General hazard. Hydraulic cutting tool with inherently
dangerous moving parts. Please read and understand this
manual to avoid the risk of injury.
Cut or severing hazard due to the cutting blade.

7Hydraulic Connections
Figure 3 –Hydraulic ports
It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that a suitable hydraulic supply is installed. It is
recommended that a relief valve should also be incorporated in the return line to prevent excessively
high pressures in the annular side of the hydraulic cylinders should the return to tank become
blocked for any reason.
