3. CONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY
(Ref. to Figg. 8 and 9)
3.1)
Insert the special bolt (with recessed head) through the copper bush. The screw
thread should protrude from the flange side of the bush; the recessed bolt head will
tighten onto the web of the rail and not onto the bush (Fig. 8).
3.2)
Crimp the lug onto the conductor. Assemble the lug to the flange of the bush over
the protruding bolt.
3.3)
Fit the flat washer and the self-locking nut (Fig. 9).
4. WARNING
The tool is robust and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points, should help to maintain the optimum performance
of the tool.
4.1) Accurate cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Every day, after use, the tool must be cleaned with a clean cloth, taking care to remove
any residual, especially close to pivots and moveable parts.
4.2) Storage
(Ref. to Fig. 11)
When not use, the tool should be stored and transported in the steel case, to prevent
damage.
Steel case: VAL HTEP: size 465x193x61 mm (18.3x7.6x2.4 in.); weight 2,5 kg (5.5 lbs).
The case will also store the "GO/NO GO" gauge CAL... and the two plungers OG...
5. MAINTENANCE
(Ref. to Fig. 10)
Air in the hydraulic circuit may affect the performance of the tool; e.g. no ram advance-
ment, slow advancement of the ram; ram pulsating.
In this case proceed as follows:
5.1) To purge air bubbles from hydraulic circuit
a – Hold tool upright in a vice with handles open (Fig. 10).
b – Unscrew the main handle (03) from the body (12) to expose the rubber oil reservoir (02).
c – Remove reservoir cap (01).
d – Operate moveable handle (39) several times, in order to advance the ram (27).
e – Press the pressure release lever (51) to retract the ram, discharge oil pressure from
the circuit and return all oil to the reservoir.
