All general safety precautions associated with hydraulic and pneumatically operated power tools should be observed. Many of these are noted in this section.

  • Page 11: Figure 2.0-2 Location Of Air Disconnect

    Disconnect the air supply from the PowerPak when: - Maintenance is to be performed. - Tooling (mandrels, nosecaps, etc.) is to be installed. - Hydraulic hose is disconnected. - PowerPak is not in use. Disconnect Disconnect FT-200D FT-20 Figure 2.0-2 Location of Air Disconnect In the event of a ruptured or leaking hydraulic hose, IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND DISCONNECT THE AIR LINE from the PowerPak at the air coupler (see Figure 2.0-2).

  • Page 12: Hydraulic Hose Safety

    HYDRAULIC HOSE SAFETY Inspect hydraulic hose for signs of wear (cuts, abrasions, or kinks) to the outer shell materials before each use. Pump clean oil through the entire length. Pressurize the hose and check for leaks at the crimped connectors, between the hose material and the fitting, and between the fitting and the coupler.

    5. Remove protective caps from the hydraulic fittings and thread the hydraulic hose fitting from the puller unit (male) onto the hydraulic fitting of the FTI PowerPak (female). Wipe fittings clean prior to connecting. Make sure to thread couplers completely together, with no gap visible. See Figure 3.1-2 below.

  • Page 15: Maintenance

    4.0: M ECTION AINTENANCE The puller unit requires routine checking and periodic preventative maintenance to ensure safe, trouble-free operation. No special maintenance is required.
