GOOD SERVICE PRACTICES
CAUTION: Keep dirt and other harmful material out of
hydraulic system, which includes tool, hoses, cou-
plers and POWERIG Hydraulic Unit. Parts must be
kept away from unclean work surfaces. Dirt in
hydraulic system causes valve failure in hydraulic
unit. Individual parts must be handled carefully and
examined for damage or wear. Replace parts where
required. Always replace O-rings and Back-up Rings
when tool is disassembled for any reason.
• The efficiency and life of your tool depends on
proper maintenance. Using the manual will help
give a clear understanding of the tool and basic
maintenance procedures. Please read this section
completely before proceeding with maintenance
and repair. Use proper hand tools in a clean and
well-lighted area. Only standard hand tools are
required in most cases. Where a special tool is
required, the description and part number are
given.
• While clamping tool or parts in a vise, and when
parts require force, use suitable soft materials to
cushion impact. For example, using a half-inch
brass drift, wood block and vise with soft jaws
greatly reduces possibility of damaging tool.
Remove components in a straight line without
bending, cocking or undue force. Reassemble tool
with the same care.
• Consult T
ROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual if
a malfunction occurs and then see appropriate
ASSEMBLY and/or component illustration sections.
Sealants, Lubricants, Hydraulic Fluid & Service
Kits
• Use automatic transmission fluid DEXRON
®
* III or
equivalent. Fire resistand hydraulic fluid must be
used to comply with OSHA regulation 1926.302
paragraph (d). An optional fire resistand fluid that
may be used is Quintolubric
®
* 822-220. Fluid vis-
cosity 300 SUS @ 100°F and 50 SUS at 210°F is
recommended for ambient temperatures 0° to 130°
F.
• Rub Slic-Tite
®
* with PTFE thread compound, or
equivalent, on pipe plug threads and quick connect
fitting. CAUTION: Do not use TEFLON
®
* tape on
pipe threads. Pipe threads may cause tape to
shred resulting in tool malfunction. (Slic-Tite is
available in stick form as Huck P/N 503237.)
• Smear LUBRIPLATE
®
13OAA*, or equivalent lubri-
cant, on O-Rings and mating surfaces to aid assem-
bly and to prevent damage to O-Rings.
(LUBRIPLATE 13O-AA is available in a tube as
Huck P/N 502723.)
• Each Service Kit contains perishable parts for your
specific tool. As foreseeable use may indicate,
keep extra kits (O-rings, Back-up Rings, other
standard items) and tool parts in stock. When
stock is depleted, you can get kit items from any
regular retailer of these items. See kit parts list for:
O-ring size (AS568- number); material; durometer.

General Notes.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
System Inspection
Operating efficiency of the tool is directly related to the
performance of the complete system, including the
tool with nose assembly, hydraulic hoses, trigger
switch and control cord, and POWERIG Hydraulic
Unit. Therefore, an effective preventive maintenance
program includes scheduled inspections of the system
to detect and correct minor troubles. At the beginning
of each shift/day:
• Inspect tool and nose assembly for external dam-
age.
• Verify that hydraulic hose fittings, couplings, and
electrical connections are secure.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses for damage and deteriora-
tion. Do not use hoses to carry tool. Replace hoses
if damaged.
• Observe tool, hoses, and hydraulic unit during
operation to detect abnormal heating, leaks, or
vibration.
• Max contamination level: NAS 1638 class 9, or ISO
CODE 18/15, or SAE level 6.
POWERIG Hydraulic Unit Maintenance
Refer to the applicable POWERIG instruction manual.
Tool Maintenance
Whenever disassembled and also at regular intervals
(depending on severity and length of use), replace all
seals, wipers, and back-up rings in tool. Service Kits,
hoses, and extra parts should be kept in stock.
Inspect cylinder bore, pistons, and piston rods for
scored surfaces and excessive wear or damage.
Replace as necessary. Always replace seals,
wipers, and back-up rings, and always grease
gears whenever the tool is disassembled for any
reason.
Nose Assembly Maintenance
Clean nose assembly often. Dip in mineral spirits or
similar solvent to clean puller and wash away metal
chips and debris. At regular intervals, as experience
shows, disassemble nose and use a sharp "pick" to
remove imbedded particles from grooves of puller.
WARNING: Inspect tool for damage or
wear before each use. Do not operate if
damaged or worn, as severe personal
injury may occur.
