5.0 OPERATION
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that the
operator has a full understanding of all
instructions, safety regulations, cautions
and warnings, before starting to operate
any of this high force tool equipment. When in doubt,
contact Enerpac.
5.1 Advancing and retracting the cylinder
All BHP Puller Sets are equipped with a single-
acting, spring return cylinder and a handpump. For
complete operating instructions refer to the instruc -
tion sheet included with each pump and cylinder.
Handpumps to operate single-acting cylinders are
equipped with a release valve to release pressure.
Close the release valve, raise and lower the pump
handle to advance the cylinder. To retract the
cylinder, open the release valve.
5.2 Air removal
Advance and retract the cylinder several times
avoiding pressure build-up. Air removal is complete
when the cylinder motion is smooth.
5.3 Using grip pullers
Build up your application as shown in illustr. 1 below
and illustration 5 on page 6. Remember that the triple
grip puller provides a more stable and secure grip,
with a more even pulling force than the double grip
puller. Do not exceed 50% of the rated puller capacity
with a double grip puller. Start pumping and apply
hydraulic pressure gradually to remove the part.
5.4 Using bearing cup puller
Build up your application as shown in illustration 2
with the internal grip puller. See also illustr. 7 page 8.
Align puller legs and arms and apply hydraulic
pressure gradually to remove the part.
5.5 Using cross bearing pullers
To pull: The cylinder must be positioned above the
slotted crosshead. Align puller legs and adjusting
screw and apply hydraulic pressure gradually to
remove the part.
To push: Build up the application as shown in
illustration 3. Notice that the cylinder must be
positioned under the slotted crosshead. Align puller
legs and adjusting screw and apply hydraulic
pressure gradually to remove the part.
