Priming Procedure
IMPORTANT: REMOVE NOSE ASSEMBLY
All operations should be carried out on a clean bench, with clean hands in a clean area.
Ensure that the oil is perfectly clean and free from air bubbles.
Care MUST be taken at all times, to ensure that no foreign matter enters the tool, or serious damage may result.
• Remove the nose casing from the tool following the instructions on page 12, in reverse order.
• Remove screws and seals from cylinder bleed point, position 1, and reservoir inlet point, position 2, as
illustrated on page 15.
• Invert the tool over a suitable container and actuate the trigger with the battery connected. Waste oil will be
ejected through the bleed screw hole in the cylinder, position 1.
• Replace screw and seal in the cylinder, position 1 only.
• Hold the tool nose up in a vice using soft jaws to avoid damage. DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE WHEN
CLAMPING THE VICE ON THE TOOL.
• Completely fill the priming pump 07900-00754 with oil.
• Screw the priming pump 07900-00754 into the reservoir inlet point, position 2 with the seal in place.
• Gently pump the bellows on the priming pump repeatedly, inserting oil into the tool and allowing air to be
collected in the priming pump. Continue this process until no further air bubbles are removed from the tool.
The reservoir should now be full of oil. (Please refer to the diagram on page 15, position 2.)
• With the battery connected, actuate the trigger and gently compress the priming pump until the piston
begins to move. Oil will then be drawn into the tool.
• Release the trigger and priming pump allowing the pump bellows to expand and suck air from the tool. Air
bubbles will be visibly expelled from the reservoir inlet point, position 2, into the priming pump.
• Actuate the trigger and cycle the tool until the piston reaches full stroke. Release the trigger allowing the
piston to return and air bubbles to be expelled into the priming pump. Repeat this procedure until no further
air bubbles are expelled into the priming pump. Allow several seconds between each cycle so that the air
bubbles have time to collect in the priming pump.
• Remove the priming pump from the reservoir inlet point, position 2, taking care not to spill excess oil over
the tool.
• Top up the reservoir, position 2, to ensure that the tool is completely filled with oil.
• Replace screw and seal in the reservoir, inlet point, position 2.
• Replace the nose casing.
