11MINI CRIMPER SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
OPERATION
HYDRAULIC HAND PUMP
Removing air from the hydraulic system will help the crimper to close
and retract smoothly.
Adding Oil to the Pump
IMPORTANT: Always add oil with crimper fully retracted or the system will
contain more oil than the reservoir capacity.
Check oil level regularly and add oil if needed. Refer to the follows.
1. Place pump in the horizontal position on a level surface.
2. Remove oil ll plug from reservoir.
3. Check oil level. See Figure 6. If oil level is low, add additional oil until
oil level reaches the bottom thread of the oil ll plug opening.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill!
Some air space must be present in reservoir to allow proper operation.
If the reservoir contains too much oil, a vacuum will form, prevent oil ow when pump is operated.
4. Ret the oil ll plug after the oil is added. Be sure the plug is fully tightened (not loose).
5. Remove air from system if necessary as per the air bleeding section and recheck oil level.
