Troubleshooting
Puller is slipping during the extraction process
Ensure the correct tip disc is selected for the diameter and that the arms are fully expanded against the inner race surface.
Resistance is too high to turn the forcing screw
Do not force the screw. Check that the U.30 beam is seated correctly and consider applying a penetrating oil to the bearing before proceeding.
Difficulty in attaching the tip discs
Ensure the threads on the puller head are free of debris or grit and that the disc alignment is flush with the spindle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the U.28, select the appropriate tip disc and attach it to the pulling head, ensuring it is tightened securely. Verify the expansion range against the bore diameter of the part being extracted. For maximum life, ensure the threaded rod remains lubricated with a high-quality machine grease. Regularly inspect the threads on the spare nut and bush, replacing them immediately if signs of galling or wear appear. Keep the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the precision steel components.
