Setup jeung Persiapan
- Mariksa komponén: Before each use, inspect all components for any signs of damage, wear, or missing parts. Ensure the hydraulic unit operates smoothly.
- Nyiapkeun Pipa:
- Cut the tubing to the desired length using the included tube cutter. Ensure the cut is square and clean.
- Deburr the inside and outside edges of the tubing to remove any sharp edges or burrs that could interfere with flaring or cause leaks.
- Clean the tubing thoroughly to remove any debris or contaminants.

Parentah Operasi
General Flaring Procedure
- Insert Tubing: Place the selected die halves into the flaring tool's clamp. Insert the prepared tubing into the die, ensuring it extends beyond the die face by the recommended amount for the specific flare type (refer to specific flare instructions below).
- Pipa anu Aman: Kencangkeun clamp securely to hold the tubing firmly in place. The tubing must not slip during the flaring process.
- Position Adapter: Place the correct adapter onto the end of the tubing. The adapter guides the flaring cone and forms the desired flare shape.
- Operate Hydraulic Pump: Engage the hydraulic pump handle. Slowly and steadily pump the handle to advance the flaring cone into the adapter and tubing. Continue pumping until the flare is fully formed. You will feel increased resistance when the flare is complete. Do not over-flare.
- Tekanan Leupaskeun: Open the hydraulic release valve to retract the flaring cone.
- Remove Flare: Leupaskeun clamp and carefully remove the flared tubing. Inspect the flare for uniformity, cracks, and proper dimensions.
Specific Flare Types
The tool supports various flare types. Always ensure the correct dies and adapters are used for each application.
- Push Connect Flares (1/4", 5/16", 3/8"): Use the designated push connect dies and adapters. Ensure the tubing is inserted to the correct depth as indicated by the adapter.
- Double Flares (3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2"): This process typically involves two stages. First, a preliminary flare is created, then it is folded back to form the double flare. Follow the specific instructions for double flare adapters, which usually have a two-step design.
- Metric Bubble Flares (4.75mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm): Use the specific bubble flare dies and adapters. These flares are common in European vehicles.
- GM Fuel Line Flares & Transmission Lines (3/8", 1/2"): Utilize the specialized dies and adapters provided for GM applications. These are designed to meet specific OEM requirements.
Using the Tube Cutter
- Open the tube cutter and place the tubing between the cutting wheel and the rollers.
- Tighten the knob until the cutting wheel makes light contact with the tubing.
- Rotate the cutter around the tubing, applying slight pressure with each rotation by tightening the knob.

- Panyimpenan: Store the entire tool set in its original custom molded case in a dry, cool environment to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Pamariksaan: Regularly inspect the hydraulic unit for any leaks or signs of wear. Check dies and adapters for damage or deformation. Replace worn or damaged components immediately.
Pamérésan masalah
| Masalah | Mungkin Cukang lantaranana | Solusi |
|---|---|---|
| Kembangan anu teu rata atanapi retak | Tubing not deburred; incorrect tubing extension; tubing not secured; wrong die/adapter; material too hard. | Ensure tubing is deburred; verify correct tubing extension; tighten clamp securely; use correct die/adapter; note that this tool may not be suitable for very hard materials like stainless steel. |
| Tubing slips during flaring | Clamp not tight enough; oily tubing; worn dies. | Ketang clamp firmly; clean tubing to remove oil; inspect and replace worn dies. |
| Hydraulic unit not advancing or retracting | Low hydraulic fluid; air in system; release valve not closed/open. | Check fluid level and refill if necessary (consult manufacturer for fluid type); bleed air from system (consult manufacturer); ensure release valve is fully closed for advancing, fully open for retracting. |
| Flare too large or too small | Incorrect adapter used; tubing extended too far/not far enough. | Verify correct adapter for desired flare type and size; adjust tubing extension according to specific flare instructions. |
