Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure that the bearing separator is seated flush against the component to distribute force evenly. Align the pulling arms to ensure they are parallel to the shaft, preventing off-center torque which could lead to slippage. After every use, wipe down the hydraulic ram and threaded components with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove metallic debris or grease. Store the kit in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent corrosion of the high-strength steel parts, and periodically inspect the hydraulic seals for any signs of fluid leaks. If the ram feels 'spongy' or sluggish, it may require a hydraulic fluid check or bleeding the system according to standard hydraulic maintenance procedures.
