SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To help prevent personal injury,

• All hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools before operating the pump. Do not
overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening can cause
premature thread failure or high pressure ttings to split at pressures lower than their rated
capacities.

• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the
pump and shift the control valve twice to release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking

pressurized hose with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic uid could cause serious injury.

• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as re, heavy impact, sharp surfaces, or extreme
heat or cold. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that the oil ow within the

hose is blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear, because any of these conditions
can damage the hose and possibly result in personal injury.

• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose and possibly cause
personal injury.

• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic uid used. Hoses also must

not come in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some
paints.Consult the manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint the couplers. Hose deterioration
due to corrosive materials can result in personal injury.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

NOTE:

• This valve has a low-torque design for use with

either single-acting or double-acting cylinders.

• Move the valve handle to any position by

loosening the cap screw and rotating the stem
in increments of 22 1/2° to the position desired.
Torque the cap screw 60/80 in. lbs. See Figure 1.

1. Remove the port plugs from the pump, valve and
cylinder.

2. Apply a high quality, nonhardening pipe thread

sealant or PTFE tape to the external threads of all
hydraulic connections. IMPORTANT: Use only one

layer of PTFE tape. Apply tape carefully, two
threads back, to prevent it from being pinched

by the tting and broken off inside the pipe end.

Any loose pieces of tape could travel through

the system and obstruct the ow of oil or cause
jamming of precision-t parts.

3. Connect the stressing hose from the stressing jack

to the “A” port of the valve. See Figure 2.

4. Connect the return hose of the stressing jack to the

“B” port of the valve. NOTE: Always connect the

return line to port “B”.

5. Attach the tool to the tensioning cable.

6. Shift th valve to port “A”. The jack will tension the

cable.

7. To hold cable tension, shift the valve to the center

position.

8. Shift the valve to return port “B”. The cable tension

will be held while the wedge ram extends and builds
pressure. The pilot-operated check valve will open
when the correct pressure ratio has been reached,
allowing the stressing jack to return.
