1. SETUP/ INSTALLATION
Connecting the Pump:
• Remove shipping plugs from
pump port outlets.
• Connect hoses to pump. To seal
threads, use thread sealer or
thread tape. When using seal
tape, apply tape one thread back
from end of fitting to prevent
excess tape entering the hydraulic
system.
• Install a pressure gauge in the
system to monitor pressure.
• Connect the hoses to your
cylinder or tool.
• For single-acting cylinders,
connect one hose from the pump
to the cylinder; For double-acting
cylinders, connect two hoses.
Connect one hose from Port A of
the pump to the advance port of
the cylinder. Connect the second
hose from Port B of the pump to
the retract port of the cylinder.
• The pump may be used in either
the horizontal or vertical position.
When operated in the vertical
position, the hose end of the
pump must be pointed down, or
the pump will pick up air and will
not build up pressure.
• Inspect all system fittings and
connections to ensure they are
tight, rated to 700 Bar and are
leak free.
• Check oil level in the reservoir
and add oil if needed. Refer
to instructions in Maintenance
section.
IMPORTANT:
• To prevent contaminants from
entering the hydraulic system, do
not operate the pump with oil fill
plug loosened or removed.
Pump Position:
Before Using The Pump:
WARNING:
• In certain situations the pump
handle can “spring back”. Always
keep your body to the side of the
pump, away from the line of force
of the handle.
• When operating the pump, keep
hands and figures away from the
pinch point area between the
pump and the lifting handle.
• Never add extensions to pump
handle. Extensions may cause
the pump to become unstable
during operation.
• To prevent mechanical damage,
do not use the pump handle
to carry the pump. Use the
designated carry handle.
