If a flexible hose full of oil remains under the sun, the oil expansion due to the heat can
cause a pressure increase and prevent the connection of the quick couplers. To decrease
pressure, loosen one coupler, dripping some oil drops de-pressurizing the hose.
4. Now connect the flexible hose to the hydraulic hose of the hydraulic tool, connecting the
first the return hose corresponding to the hole with the message OUT of the tool bringing
the male coupler on the tool.
5. Thus the hydraulic connection is completed.
6. Start the power pack leaving it at minimum for a few minutes. Follow the instruction of the
paragraph “cold start” if the starting is occurring at cold.
RAPTOR D has manual acceleration , the engine must be accelerated manually
7. accelerate the engine by using the lever
8. The tool is now ready for starting.
9. Press the tool trigger and work
END OF THE OPERATIONS
1. Lay down the tool avoiding and limiting contacts with the mud and dirt, if possible
2. PUT THE ENGINE ACCELARATION AT IDLE , minimum speed of the engine .
3. Put the ON OFF flow lever of the power pack on the LEFT position in idle position, blocking
the oil supply to the tool.
4. Stop the engine bringing the starting key in OFF position.
5. Disconnect the tool from the flexible hose releasing first the PRESSURE HOSE
corresponding to the tool hole with IN. This operation will prevent accidental pressure
trapping inside the tool.
6. Disconnect the flexible hose from the power pack.
7. Roll up the flexible hose in circles of about 60 cm of diameter, connecting the quick couplers
at the extremities in the “head/tail” way. This operation will protect the couplers against
impacts or scraping and will also help in keeping the hoses well rolled up.
8. Remove the accessories from the tool and control that they have not been damaged during
the use. In case of breaks, discard them immediately or repair them for preventing their
accidental use in the future.
