Troubleshooting
Hydraulic ram not extending
Ensure the release valve is closed. Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary. Bleed the system if air is suspected.
Puller legs slipping off component
Ensure the legs are firmly seated on the component's edge. Use a puller configuration that provides a secure grip. Clean any grease or oil from the component surface.
Uneven pulling force
Verify that all puller legs are making even contact with the component. Ensure the center screw is properly aligned.
Ram extension is slow or weak
Check the hydraulic fluid level. If low, add Sealey hydraulic oil. Inspect the seals for wear or damage. Bleed the system.
