SET UP
WARNING:
The pump’s maximum working pressure is
10,000 PSI. Make sure that all hydraulic equipment such as
cylinders, hoses, couplers and etc. used with this pump are
rated at 10,000 PSI operating pressure or more.
1. Set the pump on a hard flat surface, i.e. a work bench. Remove
the oil filler screw found on rear end cap to check fluid level.
Correct fluid level is even with the oil filler screw hole.
2. Depressurize system by opening release valve counter-
clockwise, but no more than 2 full turns. Then carefully
remove the threaded plug on oil outlet port, and connect
3/8” NPTF hydraulic connection to oil outlet port, i.e.
coupler, gauge adapter, hydraulic hose etc. Ensure all fluid
ports and thread connections are clean before connect.
For model P8701M:
The pump comes with a 4-way valve to use with double acting
cylinder. Connect two hoses: connect one hose from the
pressure port of the pump to the pressure port of the cylinder;
connect the other hose from the retract port of the pump to the
retract port of the cylinder.
If using on single acting cylinder, the valve needs to be
changed to 3-way valve. Consult with BVA Technical Service
888-332-6419
NOTICE:
Always secure threaded connections with non-hardening
pipe thread compound. Take care not to introduce compound into
port orifices. Tighten securely to prevent accidental removal of
components while in use.
3. Install a pressure gauge in-line from the pump for better control
and safety purpose.
NOTICE:
It is recommended to use BVA fittings, gauge adapter
and guage.
4. Tighten securely to prevent accidental removal of components
while in use.
5. Check for leaks in system and repair by qualified personnel as
needed. Depressurize the hydraulic system before servicing.
