-------WARNING!-------

Cutting Hydraulic Hose

(1) When the hose is cut with the knife and anvil in press assembly (1), measure the hose to the exact length needed; this is the finished cut. After the cut, make the hose round again with a hammer as shown.

(1) When the hose is cut with a hacksaw and a carbide blade, measure the length of hose needed and make a mark (2) on the hose. Make another mark (3) 1" (25.4) longer, then make the cut at mark (3); this is a rough cut. Put the correct size arbor (4) inside the hose. Put the hose and arbor in a vise.

(2) Use a pipe cutter to cut through the hose at mark (2). This is the finished cut. Remove the 1" (25.4) long piece of hose (5).

NOTE: Be sure the finished cut is made evenly.

Skiving Hydraulic Hose

(1) Put arbor (1) inside the hose. Put the hose and arbor in a vise as shown. Use the 7S5091 Skiving Gauge (2) to measure the length of hose cover to be removed. Use the 7S1126 Skiving Tool (3) to remove the hose cover from the mark to the end of the hose. To make the first cut, turn the skiving tool in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the skiving tool. Put the skiving tool back on the hose as shown and turn the skiving tool in a clockwise direction. Remove arbor (1). Do the other end of the hose the same way.

NOTE: Permit no exposed wire (skived surface) beyond the end of the stem fingers. See the above chart for the correct skiving lengths.

Installing Stems

(1) Put stem (1) in a vise as shown. Install finger expander (2) in the stem. Hit the finger expander with a plastic tipped hammer to bend the stem fingers out. Hit the side of finger expander (2) against the vise to remove the finger expander from the stem. Put stem (1) on the hose as far as possible by hand.

NOTE: DO NOT PUT LUBRICANT INSIDE THE HOSE OR ON THE STEM.

(2) Put the hose and stem in a vise as shown. Hit wood block (3) against the stem with a plastic tipped hammer until the end of the hose is at the bottom of the stem. When a stem with a curve is used, put block (3) on edge (4). With the hose and stem on the vise as shown, hit fingers (5) until all of the fingers are tight against the hose.

(3) Install the bottom half of stem collet (6) and hose collet (7) on the dowel pins in the hose press. Put sleeve (8) on the hose with the chamfer on the inside diameter of the sleeve toward the stem fingers. Put the hose assembly in the press with the smallest part of the stem in stem collet (6) and the hose in hose collet (7). Install the top half of each collet. Turn forcing screw (9) to press sleeve (8) over the stem fingers.

NOTE: A thin layer of oil on the outside of the stem fingers makes it easier to install the sleeve.

(4) To make a hose assembly of 1.0" (25.4) or 1.25" (31.8) inside diameter, the grease or hydraulic ram must be used with the press to install the sleeve over the last .50" (12.7) of the stem fingers. The 5P4180 Ram can be used for the last 1.50" (38.1) of movement. See steps 6 and 7.

(5) Install grease or hydraulic ram (10) between forcing screw (9) and bolster (11). One end of the ram is made to fit the forcing screw. The other end of the ram is made to fit the bolster.

(6) Connect 8F9866 Grease Gun (12) or use a 2D2825 Hydraulic Hand Pump (13) to completely install sleeve (8). Both rams have a rating of 10,000 psi (69 000).

(7) To release the pressure on the grease ram, loosen fitting (14); or on the hydraulic hand pump, open control valve (15), then tighten forcing screw (9) to retract the ram. The grease inside the grease ram will come out hole (16). Before a coupling is installed on the other end of the hose, check to see if the assembly needs to be turned; if so, follow the instructions in the topic, COUPLING POSITION, then install the coupling as before. Make sure the sleeve is on the hose before the stem is installed on the other end of the hose.

Coupling Position

(1) A special tool, FT945 Hose Coupling Vise, is shown in the illustrations to hold the assembled coupling, but a standard vise can be used. Hold the hose straight and fasten assembled coupling (A) in the vise as shown. Put loose coupling (B) in a position so the flange is in the same direction as the other one. The correct position is difficult to find on some couplings. It is important that this step is correct, so the hose couplings will be in alignment.

(2) The face of protractor dial (1) must be toward the assembled coupling (A); adjust the dial setting to zero and fasten the clamp to the hose 1" (25.4) to 3" (76.2) from the assembled coupling.

(3) Remove the hose from the vise and turn the hose end for end. Put the loose coupling (B) in the vise, with the protractor dial on the top of the hose; tighten coupling (B) in the vise.

(4) Adjust dial (1) to the desired angle setting; see Technical Partsgram FEG02008. Hold the complete coupling (A) and turn the hose clockwise until the bubble is in the level position.

NOTE: Coupling angle (C) is measured from the position of stem (B) clockwise to stem (A). In the chart, (D) is the length of the hose assembly and (E) is the degree tolerance.

Coupling Reconditioning

The chart below shows the tools needed for disassembly and reconditioning of the different sizes of hose.

------ WARNING! ------

Couplings can be removed from a hose and used again on new hose. Never install a coupling on a hose that has had oil in it. Do not use a coupling again if it shows any damage. Before installation of a coupling that has been used before, the inside diameter of the stem must be made the same as it was when new. (This is known as resizing.) Failure to do this can cause separation of the hose under high pressure.

-------WARNING!-------

Coupling Disassembly

(1) Use a hacksaw with a carbide blade or the knife and anvil and cut through the hose 3.0" (76.2) behind sleeve (1). Put a thick layer of oil on the inside diameter of the hose. Install arbor (2) in the hose. See the above chart for the selection of tools.

(2) Install bottom half (3) of the sleeve collet so counterbore (A) is in the direction shown. Install 5P284 Rear Abutment (4).

(3) Put the coupling and hose, with arbor (5), in the press as shown. Sleeve (6) fits in counterbore (A) of sleeve collet (3). Arbor (5) fits against abutment (4). Install top half (7) of the sleeve collet. Tighten the forcing screw to remove sleeve (6). It may be necessary to install the grease ram to remove the Sleeve from the larger sizes of hose.

(4) Remove the coupling and hose. Remove the sleeve collets and the rear abutment. Install the bottom half of stem collet (8), with counterbore (B) in the direction shown. Install the bottom half of hose collet (9). If a .38" (9.7) or .50" (12.7) inside diameter hose is being disassembled, use the 5P283 Abutment in place of hose collet (9).

(5) Install the stem and hose with the arbor in the press as shown. Install the top half of stem collet (8) and hose collet (9). Tighten the forcing screw until dimension (C) is as shown. This will move stem fingers (10) away from the hose and loosen the hose from the stem. Remove the stem and hose from the press.

(6) Install the stem and hose with the arbor in a vise as shown. Install strap wrench (10). Turn strap wrench (10) until the hose and arbor can be removed. Resize is necessary before the stem is used again.

Resizing Stems

See the chart on page 8 for the tools needed to resize hose stems.

(1) Install bottom half (1) of the stem collet, with counterbore (A) in the direction shown. Install 5P284 Abutment in the press as shown.

(2) Install finger expander (2) on stem (3). Install the stem and finger expander in the press. Install top half (4) of the stem collet. Tighten the forcing screw until the end of the finger expander is at the bottom of the stem.

(3) Remove the finger expander and stem from the press. Put the finger expander and stem on a vise as shown. Hit the fingers down against finger expander (2) with a plastic tipped hammer. Remove the finger expander from the stem. Install bottom half (1) of the stem collet in the press as shown.

(4) Install 5P283 Abutment (5) in the press.

(5) Remove bolt (6) from stem expander (7). Bolt (6) is never used with this hose press.

(6) Put a layer of oil on the inside diameter of stem (8). Install stem (B) and stem expander (7) in the press as shown. Install top half (4) of the stem collet. Turn the forcing screw until shoulder (B) of expander (7) is at the end of the stem. DO NOT GO BEYOND SHOULDER (B) ON THE STEM EXPANDER. Put expander (7) in a vise as shown. Pull stem (8) off the expander. Remove any rough pieces of metal from inside the stem.

Double Collet

The three hose couplings (1) with double collet couplings cannot be assembled on this hose press. Couplings (1) can be assembled on the 7S1100 Hose Press.

Long Stem Coupling

If a long stem O-ring coupling (1P7931) with a 1.25"Ø (31.8Ø) is to be installed, install the collets with the counterbore toward the forcing screw.

Cleaning Hoses

Hydraulic pump and valve failures can be caused from particles inside a new hose. Use a sudden volume of air to remove all particles from inside the hose after a new hose has been made.

(1) Install plastic caps (A) after cleaning and during hose storage. The chart shows where to order the caps from, the part numbers to order, and the size of hose the caps fit.

Flat Armor (Steel) Guards For Hoses

Sharpening Cutting Tools

Keep the hose cutting knive sharpened and the anvil surface ground smooth so they will make a straight, even cut. Remove the same amount of material from the full length of the cutter and anvil. Do not overheat the surfaces when sharpening the knife and grinding the anvil.

The blade of the skiving knife is softer than the wire used in the wrappings of hydraulic hose. This prevents the knife from damaging the wire wrap. The skiving blade will become peened (bent) over on the inside of the cutter. Sharpen by removing the peened-over inside edge only. Use a round file in the corners.
