OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AT A GLANCE
Before Operating Pump:
1. Use only cylinders , hoses and equipment rated at 10,000 psi.
2. Make sure all hose and fitting connections are tight and secure. Hoses cannot be kinked or twisted.
3. Oil level should be 1” from the top of the reservoir plate, with tool retracted and motor off.
4. Never operate the pump in advance at 10,000 psi without tool movement for more than 1 minute.
Continuing to operate the pump without tool movement will overheat the oil.
After Completing the Job:
1. Before disconnecting hoses, fittings, etc, be sure the tool is retracted and unloaded, then unplug the power cord.
2. Store the pump in a clean, dry area.
Periodic Maintenance:
1. Completely change the hydraulic oil and clean the oil filter screen and magnet (located in the reservoir) twice a year.
(Use SIMPLEX oil only - Part #A01). Change the oil more frequently when used in extremely dusty areas or when the oil has
been overheated. Using oil other than the SIMPLEX brand, may void the pump warranty.
SECTION I
SAFETY
1-1.
Working Pressure
The pump’s maximum working pressure is 10,000 psi (700 kg/cm2). Make sure that all hydraulic equipment, hoses , etc. used with
this pump are rated at 10,000 psi operating pressure.
1-2.
Hydraulic Connections
Never disconnect or connect any hydraulic hoses or fittings without first unloading the tool. Unplug the electrical cord of the
pump and open all hydraulic controls to ensure that the system has been depressurized. If the system includes a gauge, double
check the gauge ensure pressure has been released.
When making connections with quick disconnect couplings , make sure the couplings are fully engaged. Threaded connections
such as fittings , gauges , etc. mus t be securely tightened and leak free.
CAUTION: Loose or improperly threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized, however, severe over
tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need to be tightened secure & leak free. Never hold or stand
directly in line with any hydraulic connections while pressurizing. Never grab, touch or in any way come in contact with a
hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil can penetrate the skin and a serious injury can result.
Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as sharp surfaces , extreme heat or heavy impact. Do not allow the hose to kink &
twist. Inspect each hose for wear before each use.
1-3.
Electrical Power
for Solenoid valves is 12 VDC supplied by the engine and backed up by 2, 7.2 volt NICAD battery packs
connected in series.
1. CHECK FOR PROPER ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CONNECTING.
2. DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE OR IN THE PRESENCE OF CONDUCTIVE LIQUIDS.
a. Do not use a pendant control cord that is damaged or has exposed wiring.
