DECLARATION OF INCORPORATION.

MANUFACTURER

ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL LTD. UNIT13 THE MALTINGS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE.

BATH. ENGLAND. BA1 3JL.

MACHINERY DESCRIPTION.

PORTABLE TUBE FLARING MACHINE.

MODEL :- HYDRAFLARE HF1.

SERIAL NO.

WARNING.

This machinery must not be put into service until the machinery into which it is to be incorporated has been declared in conformity with the provisions of the Directive.

Engineering Director.

This Declaration only applies when incomplete / un-powered equipment is supplied by the Manufacturer



3. Safety Regulations

Always work in safe conditions and with the necessary space around the machine. Ensure that the machine is placed on a stable and appropriate working surface.

1. IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE the equipment before reading the user manual.

2. CAUTION! If improperly used, the equipment may be dangerous and may cause

injury. Do not touch any moving parts.

3. CAUTION! It is absolutely essential that all working operations are carried out by one operator only

4. This manual must be provided for the machine operator. Ensure that the operator is aware of his/her responsibilities.

5. Guards must never be removed or tampered with.

6. (Where applicable) A fully trained and competent electrician must connect the

machine to the appropriate electricity supply.

7. Always wear protective gloves, safety glasses and appropriate clothing.

8. (Where applicable) Disconnect the power supply before removing any covers, or attempting any maintenance of the machine

Only original spare parts can be used in the maintenance of the machine.



4. Technical Data

TECHNICAL/DIMENSIONAL DATA Compak 1

Capacity ¼”-1” 6- 25mm

Packed Dimensions in mm 450x400x300

Controls Twin speed hand pump (10,000 psi)

Weight (Kg) without optional power pack

Noise level Not exceeding 70dB

HANDLING/TRANSPORT

The machine will normally be shipped bolted to a wooden/plastic pallet . The bolts should be removed and the machine lifted onto the work place using suitable lifting equipment.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Place the machine on a stable surface.

LIGHTING

The equipment does not have its own lighting and so it must be used in a suitably illuminated area.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Ensure that moving parts are always lightly greased. Where applicable check periodically that the limit switches and emergency controls are in good working order.



5. Operating Instructions

1. Before using the die block, lubricate the mating external surfaces of the dies and

the die housing with a molybdenum based spray lubricant. Check regularly and lubricate as necessary.

2. Place the ‘tube stop’ in its operating location ensuring the side marked ‘FRONT’ is facing you. (Fig 1) ALWAYS use the tube stop to ensure correct flaring results.

3. Select the correct dies for the tube size you intend to flare. See table 1 and 2 on pages 11 and 12

4. Place dies together by means of the locating pin. See Fig. 2.



5. Place dies into the die housing block. See Fig. 3.

6. Close die housing lid. IMPORTANT. Do not attempt to operate with the die housing lid in the raised position as damage may result. 7. Fit appropriate nuts and sleeves to tube. 8. push tube through dies until it seats on the tube stop. See Fig. 4.

9. Close pump release valve by turning clockwise until finger tight.



10. Operate hand pump until correct pressure is indicated on the gauge see table 1 and 2 on pages 11 and 12 for correct flaring pressures. IMPORTANT. Do not exceed recommended flaring pressures.

11. Release pressure by turning the pump release valve anticlockwise. 12. Lift die housing lid. 13. Lift tube complete with dies out of the die housing and close die housing lid. 14. Place dies into die removal slot and give tube a sharp sideways twist or tap to

release tube from the dies. See Fig 5.

15. Finally when you have completed flaring, remove the ‘tube stop’ from its operating

location. It is also recommended that the dies are also removed when the machine is not in use.

6. Maintenance.

1. Maintain lubrication of the mating external surfaces of dies and die block. 2. Ensure that the flaring cone is kept free of swarf and dirt, lubricating regularly to

ensure quality flares and to prolong life of the flaring cone. Replace if the flaring cone becomes damaged.

3. Regularly check the condition of the dies. Remove any build up of swarf/metal particles with a wire brush to ensure efficient gripping of tube.

4. Keep internal tube location surfaces of dies free from oil and grease using general degreasing agents.

5. Replace any dies that become damaged.



7. Tube Preparation

Tubing It is recommended that only the best quality fully annealed, seamless, cold drawn tube is used to achieve satisfactory bending and flaring results. Tube must not have longitudinal lines on the inside bore or any scratch marks, notches or other damage that could lead to premature fatigue, failure or cracking.

Flaring 1. Cut tube using a suitable cut-off saw or with a fine blade hacksaw. Ensure cut off is

completely square to tube and that the end is deburred. 2. Remove inside and outside burrs with deburring tool. 3. Place nut then sleeve onto tube. 4. Flare tube end using flaring tools to form 37

0 flare.

Flare Diameters The diameter of maximum flare is equal to outside diameter of sleeve. (see table 3.) The diameter of minimum flare is equal to maximum inside diameter of sleeve. (see table 3)

Calculating tube cut length To calculate the correct cut length of tube add free length ‘L’ to permit entry of connector cone into tube flare. (See Fig. 6.) N.B. An additional length allowance

should be made since flaring will shorten tube by up to 1mm depending on tube thickness.
