Operation / Installation
Connect the nut splitter coupler to the hose coupler and pump. Firmly tighten couplers by hand to prevent restricted oil
flow.
Close the pump release valve. To remove air trapped in the hydraulic system operate the pump. With cutter head pointing
down, advance and retract the cutter blade several times.
Place the nut splitter over the nut. The flat surface of the nut splitter must rest against one of the nut flats .
CAUTION:
Improper placement of the nut splitter on the nut may cause the
head to fail.
NOTE: Apply a suitable cutting fluid to stainless steel and hardened
steel nuts before splitting to reduce cutter blade wear and breakage.
