Today, I set up my squeezer. It?s not squeezing-4 or -3 rivets to the proper compression length.
- I bled the system three times to ensure no air was in the lines, disconnecting the clear plastic (A,B, and P) at the ports. I set the c-squeezer in a vise to ensure the bleed port was at the highest point of the system.
- I kept the black hyd hose nearly flat to prevent sag and possible trapped air
- checked all the fittings,
- adjusted the air pressure to 74 psi (-4?s) and 44 psi for the -3?s
- topped off the intensifier at the bleeder
- Teflon taped the set screw in the c-squeezer bleeder
- using dextrin 111
The squeezer closes and slightly squeezes the rivets but nowhere near compression specs. I don?t have any air leaks.
Hoping that someone else has had a similar problem and can shed light on this issue.
Thanks
