Safety recommendations
As high pressures constitute a potential safety risk, the following
instructions must be considered:
The equipment should only be operated by trained personnel.
Always follow the operating instructions.
Check the injector and all accessories carefully before use. Never
use even slightly damaged components.
Make sure all air has been removed from the hydraulic system,
before pressurizing the injector.
Always use a pressure gauge.
Always prevent the workpiece/tool from being projected upon
sudden release of pressure (e.g. by use of retaining nut).
Never use the equipment above the stated maximum pressure.
Do not extend the handle in order to reduce the required force to
reach maximum pressure. Use hand pressure only.
Never use the injector together with accessories which are rated
below the maximum pressure of the injector.
Use protective goggles.
Never modify the unit.
Use original parts only.
Only use clean, recommended hydraulic oils (e.g. SKF LHMF 300,
LHDF 900 or similar).
In case of any uncertainties as regards the use of the injector,
contact SKF.

1. Description
The injector has a maximum pressure of 300 MPa (43.500 psi)
It is mainly intended for use within the machine tool industry for
mounting and dismounting bearings and other components using the
SKF oil injection method.
The 226270 is suitable for components with a shaft diameter up to 100
mm (4 in). The 226271 can be used for applications with a shaft
diameter not exceeding 200 mm (8 in).
To retain the oil under pressure in the application, while the injector is
being refilled, the following valve nipples are recommended:
- nipple 226272 for injector 226270.
- nipple 226273 for injector 226271.

3. Operating instructions
a) Disassemble the injector completely (see Fig. 1). The piston (2) can
be pressed out by using the handle (1).
b) Firmly tighten the injector cylinder (4) into the application.
c) Fill the container (4) with clean oil and make sure that all air has
been removed from the hydraulic system.
Make sure there is enough of oil for your complete operation or
alternatively use the recommended valve nipples. For mounting
bearings with the SKF Oil Injection Method it is recommended to use
an oil with a viscosity of approximately 300 mm
2
/s (1.400 SUS) at
the operating temperature.
For dismounting bearings, we recommend to use an oil with a
viscosity of approx 900 mm
2
/s (4.100 SUS) at operating temperature.
d) Re-assemble the piston (2) and sleeve (3) and start injecting oil.
Continue until necessary pressure is reached for your application.
Maximum pressure is 300 MPa (43.500 psi).

4. Maintenance
4.1 Replacing the oil
When replacing the oil or after maintenance, make sure no air is trapped
in the hydraulic system.
Only use clean, recommended hydraulic oils.
4.2 Cleanliness
Keep the pump clean from dirt and metal particles in order to avoid
excessive wear.
