Troubleshooting

Before troubleshooting, determine whether the problem
is in the tool, hoses, or power source. Substitute a tool,
hoses, or power source known to be in good working
order to identify the item that is not operating.
Problem
Tool inoperative.
Tool operates erratically.
Tool operates slowly.

Probable Cause
Tool connected to improper
power source hydraulic system.
No hydraulic fluid in system or
fluid level low.
Incorrect hydraulic fluid viscosity.
Tool components loose.
Dirt, contaminants, etc., in tool
components.
Tool components worn or
damaged.
Hydraulic fluid cold.
Air in system.
Tool components sticking or
binding.
Dirt, contaminants, etc., in tool
components.
Power source components not

If the problem is in the tool, refer to the troubleshoot-
ing table below. If the problem is in the power source,
refer to the troubleshooting section of the power source
instruction manual.
Possible Remedy
Refer to "Specifications" for type of
hydraulic system required. Verify power
source hydraulic system.
Check fluid level. Fill to FULL mark.
Check system for leaks.
Use fluid viscosity recommended. Refer to
"Recommended Hydraulic Fluids" under
"Specifications."
Tighten component hardware.
Disassemble tool and clean components.
Disassemble tool. Replace worn or
damaged components.
Viscosity of fluid may be too high at start of
tool operation. Allow fluid to warm to operat-
ing temperature. Actuating tool intermittently
will reduce time required to warm fluid to an
efficient operating temperature.
Check pump suction line for damage or
loose clamps. Tighten clamps or replace
components if necessary. Fill reservoir.
Check for dirt or gummy deposits. Clean
components. Check for worn or damaged
components. Replace components.
Disassemble tool. Clean components.
Refer to power source operator's manual for
recommended speed, flow, and pressure
settings.
Viscosity of fluid may be too high at start of
tool operation. Allow fluid to warm to operat-
ing temperature. Actuating tool intermittently
will reduce time required to warm fluid to an
