Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the correct test coupling for the hydraulic system's port. The kit includes G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, M10/1, M10/1.25, M14/1.5, UNF7/16-20, UNF9/16-18, and a quick connector.
- Carefully remove the protective plastic film from the thread joints of the chosen coupling.
- Connect the test coupling to the hydraulic system's test port. Ensure a secure fit.
- Connect one of the 5.2 ft (1.6 m) test hoses to the test coupling.
- Connect the desired pressure gauge (250 Bar, 400 Bar, or 600 Bar) to the other end of the test hose.
- Ensure all connections are tight before initiating system pressure.
Compatibility: This kit is designed for general hydraulic systems. Verify thread types and pressure ranges against your specific equipment specifications. Ideal for excavators, hydraulic presses, cranes, compressors, and other large hydraulic machinery found in construction, shipping, mining, and maintenance.
Care:
- After use, disconnect all components carefully. Clean the gauges and couplings with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Ensure all components are completely dry before storing them in the carrying case.
- Store the desiccants within the case to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
- Inspect hoses and couplings for any signs of wear or damage before each use.
