2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating any hydraulic tool. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in serious injury or damage to the equipment.

• Read the Manual: Before operation, thoroughly read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and protective footwear.
• Work Area: Ensure your work area is clean, well-lit, and free from obstructions. Keep bystanders away from the operating area.
• Inspect Tool: Before each use, inspect the tool for any signs of damage, wear, or oil leakage. Do not use if damaged.
• Proper Use: Use the tool only for its intended purpose of spreading flanges and similar components. Do not exceed the specified tonnage capacity.
• Stability: Ensure the workpiece and the tool are stable and securely positioned before applying pressure.
• Overload: Avoid overloading the tool. The front support piece is a consumable and can break if overloaded; it can be replaced.
• Hydraulic Fluid: Handle hydraulic fluid with care. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly.
• Storage: Store the tool in its protective case in a dry, secure location away from children and unauthorized personnel.

3. Product Overview and Components

The Yunxioler YQ-55 Hydraulic Flange Spreader is an integral unit designed for ease of use and portability. It features a self-contained hydraulic system, eliminating the need for external pumps or hoses.

Key Components:

• Movable Handle: Used to pump and generate hydraulic pressure.
• Fixed Handle: Provides a stable grip during operation.
• Pressure Relief Valve Switch: Controls the hydraulic pressure, allowing for pressurization (ON) and release (OFF).
• Piston Core: The internal hydraulic mechanism that extends the spreading jaws.
• Heat Treatment Alloy Steel Pliers (Spreading Jaws): The robust jaws that engage with the workpiece to create the spreading force.

5. Setup

The Yunxioler YQ-55 is designed for immediate use as an integral unit. No assembly is required.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the hydraulic spreader from its storage case.
2. Initial Inspection: Before first use, visually inspect the tool for any signs of shipping damage, such as dents, cracks, or oil leaks. Ensure the pressure relief valve switch moves freely.
3. Familiarization: Familiarize yourself with the tool's components as described in Section 3.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of the hydraulic flange spreader:

1. Positioning: Place the spreading jaws into the gap of the flange or workpiece you intend to separate. Ensure the jaws are seated securely and evenly.
2. Engage Pressure: Locate the pressure relief valve switch. Turn the switch to the "ON" direction to engage the hydraulic system and allow for pressurization.
3. Apply Pressure: Begin pumping the movable handle. The spreading jaws will gradually expand, applying force to separate the workpiece. Continue pumping until the desired separation is achieved or the maximum spread is reached.
4. Maintain Stability: The stepped clamp design helps maintain stability during spreading. Ensure the tool and workpiece remain stable throughout the process.
5. Release Pressure: Once the spreading task is complete, turn the pressure relief valve switch to the "OFF" direction. This will release the hydraulic pressure, allowing the spreading jaws to retract. The piston is designed for quick reset.
6. Remove Tool: Carefully remove the tool from the separated workpiece.

Note on Multiple Units: For larger or heavier applications, two or more units can be used simultaneously to lift or spread the machine. Ensure even application of force across all tools.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your hydraulic spreader.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the tool for signs of wear, damage, or oil leakage. Pay close attention to the spreading jaws, piston, and hydraulic cylinder. The lengthened and enlarged oil cylinder is designed for good sealing and minimal oil leakage, but regular checks are important.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of machine oil to moving parts and exposed metal surfaces to prevent rust.
• Storage: Store the tool in its original protective storage box in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and corrosive materials.
• Hydraulic Fluid: If the hydraulic fluid level appears low or if performance degrades, consult a qualified technician for inspection and potential fluid replenishment. Do not attempt to open the hydraulic system unless you are trained to do so.
