1.2
Purpose and Function
The Model RM-77 is an air hydraulicaly-operated maintenance fixture,
designed for use in cleaning, testing and repairing all types of
automotive radiators.
The Model RM-77 is used to raise radiators over the edge of the
maintenance tank and submerge them for cleaning, repairing and testing.
Capabilities
1.3
Model RM-77 is capable of lifting radiators with dimensions of up to
45 inches wide x 45 inches high and 6 inches thick, with a weight of
Up to 350 lbs.
Performance Characteristics
The vertical movement is manually controlled by using a 3-way lever
operated air valve (Item 2-6 Fig. 1).
The amount of depression on the lever will control the speed of the
vertical movement.
Due to the compressibility of air, a small vertical
movement is induced after the 3-way valve is brought to a neutral
position.
Should the operator desire to prevent this movement, jog
the 3-way valve in the opposite direction.
