USE
LOAD CAPACITIES
BLEEDING AIR
When offset attachments are used, the rated capacity of the hydraulic system is reduced 50%. For each extension
tube used the setup, the rated capacity is reduced another 50%. When using two or more extension tubes
together, always position the shortest tube farthest away from the ram.
The pump may be operated in a horizontal position, or in a vertical position with the head pointing down as
shown.
Assembling the hose between the pump and ram.
Determine the appropriate attachment for your application; assemble the attachment on the ram position.
Turn the pump's release valve clockwise to a closed position. Hand tighten the valve only; applying too much
force to the valve may damage the valve stem.
Work the pump handle up and down to send oil through the hose to the ram, causing the piston to extend to the
work piece.
Monitor the pressure gauge while completing the application.
To release pressure, slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise. The release speed is controlled by how fast
the valve is opened.
Note:
The pump is equipped with an overload valve that will bypass oil back into the pump reservoir in an overload
situation (when the system meets maximum pressure). In this case, continued pumping will have no effect on the
system. If an overload situation commonly occurs, a higher capacity set is needed.
Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during the initial setup or after prolonged use, causing the ram to
respond slowly or in an unstable manner.
To remove the air:
Place the ram at a lower level than the pump, with the piston end pointing down.
Extend and retract the ram several times without putting a load on the system. Air will be released into the pump reservoir.
With the ram fully tretracted, the pump sitting level, and no pressure in the hydraulic system, remove the pump's
filler screw. Fill the reservoir with approved hydraulic fluid until the fluid level is within ½ inch (12.7mm) from the
top of the reservoir.
