Hydraulic Flexco® XP™Staple Fastener System
Operational Instructions
Guidelines
1. When using hydraulic power units not manufactured by Flexco, make sure the operating pressure of the power unit is
110bar, 11 Mpa, 1600 psi and ow rate is in the range of 7-9 L/m (1.5-2 gpm).
2. When connecting and disconnecting couplings, make sure dirt, dust, and other foreign substances do not enter or attach to
coupling and hoses.
3. Make sure the power unit is OFF when connecting the hydraulic tool to the power unit.
4. If the oil temperature is below 10°C, warm up the hydraulic tool before operating.
5. Do not trip over the hydraulic hoses.
6. Make sure there are no jobsite obstacles.
7. Be cautious not to injure your back while liing the hydraulic tool.
8. In case of sudden hydraulic hose breakage STOP the power unit IMMEDIATELY.
9. Replace with new hoses when they are worn or when oil exudes from them.
10. When couplers detach, a small amount of oil may leak out. Make sure that surrounding area does not get drenched in oil.
11. To prevent dirt from entering the quick release couplings, be sure to clip couplings together aer disconnecting driver.
Couplings should be wiped down before clipping them together.
12. When detached from power source, attach two hoses to each other. Couplings should be wiped down before clipping
them together.
13. When frequently attached and detached to the power unit, hydraulic oil will decrease accordingly. Always check the
hydraulic oil level before operating and rell if necessary.
Tool Inspection
Examine the tool before applying fasteners.
• Clean any dirt build-up from the bed rails.
• Check the hydraulic applicator to make sure the mounting brackets are free from dirt build-up.
• Check for any nicks in the bed that may interfere with the movement of the head. Should any nicks be found, they should
be led o before using the tool.
!

• Ensure applicator moves freely on bed. If not spray SLP5 GLIDE silicone lubricant on bed rails and
mounting brackets for smoother operation.
• Inspect swipe arms, pusher tip and front/rear locator prongs for damage, chips or cracking. Replace
damaged parts by authorized distributor.
