SSP Hydraulic Swaging Tool Bleed Operating instructions

  • Hello! I'm here to help you with your Swaging Tool HSTMI-22A. I've reviewed the document which provides air bleeding instructions for the tool. It details steps for proper setup, valve operation, and air purging. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about this process.
  • When is it necessary to bleed excess air from the system?
    What should you do before starting the air bleeding process?
    How do you open the pump by-pass valve?
    How do you close the pump by-pass valve?
    How many times should steps 8 through 10 be repeated?
If the hose has been recently disconnected from the
pump or swaging head, it may be necessary to bleed
excess air from the system.
1. To bleed excess air from the system, it will be necessary
to move the swaging head to a position lower than the
pump. Therefore, place the HST on a workbench or
surface that will allow the swaging head to be placed
lower than the pump.
2. Fully open pump by-pass valve by turning
valve handle counter-clockwise until it stops.
3. Remove split collars and body die from the swaging head.
4. Remove knurled lock ring from swaging head.
5. Loosen cap screw on swaging head mounting
ring and slide swaging head free of mounting ring.
6. Lower swaging head below pump and support in position
as shown on a suitable support. Do not suspend swaging
head by the hose or place unnecessary stress on the hose.
7. Turn pump reservoir cap to vent position.
8. Close pump by-pass valve by turning
handle clockwise until it stops.
9. Operate pump to obtain 1000 psi on the gauge.
10. Open pump by-pass valve by turning handle
counterclockwise until it stops. This will force
trapped air to move up to the pump reservoir.
11. Repeat steps 8 through 10 twice or as many
times as necessary to purge all air from the system.
12. Check oil level in reservoir per instructions
on the pump and add oil if necessary.
13. Return pump reservoir cap to closed (operating) position.
14. Reinstall swaging head in mounting
ring and tighten cap screw.
15. Reinstall knurled locking ring.
