Be sure tool is properly seated. If not<br />
properly seated it can fly off with great<br />
force. Always stand away from tool when<br />
it is under pressure.<br />
4. Stand away from assembly and activate<br />
hydraulic pump to apply pressure. If<br />
necessary, release pressure and readjust<br />
ram adjusting screw. Depress flange<br />
1/2” - 3/4” (13-19 mm). Use a screwdriver<br />
to slip a nut (or similar object)<br />
between flange and lip of beat seat.<br />
Keep fingers clear at all times.<br />
Release pressure slowly. Check to make<br />
sure the nut (or other spacer) will not<br />
slip out. If not securely positioned, it<br />
can become a projectile and cause serious<br />
injury.<br />
