5. Setup

The Ussuray SP009 Shaft Type Seal Puller requires minimal setup before use. Ensure the work area is clean and well-lit. Identify the seal to be removed and ensure there is sufficient access around it for the tool's operation.

1. Inspect the tool for any signs of damage or wear. Do not use if the tool is compromised.
2. Ensure the adjustable locking fulcrum moves freely and can be secured in position.
3. Clean any debris from the tool before use to prevent contamination of the work area.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to remove shaft seals using the SP009 tool:

1. Engage the Seal: Carefully position the pivoting seal hook end behind the seal you intend to remove. Ensure the hook is securely engaged with the seal's edge.
2. Adjust the Fulcrum: Adjust the locking fulcrum so that it makes firm contact with a stable, flat surface near the seal, such as the engine head or a sturdy part of the component housing. This provides the necessary leverage.
3. Apply Pressure: Once the hook is engaged and the fulcrum is set, firmly push down on the handle of the tool. This action will leverage the seal out of its housing.
4. Remove the Seal: Continue applying steady pressure until the seal is dislodged and removed. The design of the tool ensures the seal is removed without damaging the shaft.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Ussuray SP009 Shaft Type Seal Puller:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth to remove any oil, grease, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of machine oil to the adjustable fulcrum mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry place, away from moisture and corrosive materials, to prevent rust and damage. A tool box or drawer is ideal.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the tool for any signs of wear, bending, or damage to the hook or fulcrum. Replace the tool if it shows significant wear that could affect its performance or safety.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the SP009 Shaft Type Seal Puller, consider the following:

• Seal Not Engaging: Ensure the pivoting seal hook is fully behind the seal. Sometimes, rotating the seal slightly or adjusting the angle of approach can help.
• Difficulty Removing Seal: Verify that the adjustable locking fulcrum is firmly braced against a stable, flat surface. Insufficient leverage is often due to improper fulcrum placement. Ensure you are applying firm, steady pressure.
• Risk of Shaft Damage: The tool is designed to prevent shaft damage. If you observe any scratching or marring, immediately stop and re-evaluate your technique. Ensure the hook is only contacting the seal and the fulcrum is on a non-critical surface.
• Tool Slipping: Ensure your grip on the ergonomic handle is firm. If the fulcrum is slipping, reposition it to a more stable contact point.

9. Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions when using the SP009 Shaft Type Seal Puller:

• Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris or fluids.
• Hand Protection: Wear appropriate work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and provide a better grip.
• Stable Work Area: Ensure the vehicle or component you are working on is stable and securely supported.
• Proper Tool Use: Use the tool only for its intended purpose (removing shaft seals). Misuse can lead to injury or damage to the tool/component.
• Keep Clear: Keep hands and fingers clear of the seal and the tool's working end during operation to avoid pinching or crushing injuries.
• Children and Pets: Keep the tool out of reach of children and pets.
