Loading the tie rods
1. Rotate the threaded pressure loading tool plunger
counter-clockwise until it stops to ensure it is fully re
-
tracted. Install the pressure loading tool onto the tie
rods by running down the tool studs onto the exposed
threads of the tie rods.
When tightening, alternate between opposite studs to
avoid binding. Tighten the tool studs firmly in order to
seat the tool piston fully into the tool body, and against
the end cap as shown below.
Note: The plunger of the pressure loading tool must
be backed to the stop in order to fully seat the piston
within the cylinder.
2. Use a 19 mm (3/4 in.) socket and ratchet to rotate the
tool plunger clockwise until a value of 1500 bar gauge
pressure is reached.
3. Run the primary nuts of the pump down by hand
until firmly seated against the end caps. These nuts
must be fully bottomed-out against the wash
-
ers/end caps.
Note: Do not use wrenches when running the pri-
mary nuts down.
4. Use the socket wrench to remove pressure from
the tool. The gauge will read 0 bar when pressure
has been removed.
5. Back out all four of the tool studs to remove the
tool from the tie rods.
Note: When loosening, alternate between oppo-
site studs to avoid binding.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining pump
positions.
