SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Hose
• Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the correct tools. Do not overtighten; connections
need only be secure and leak-free. Overtightening can cause premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split
at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shutthe pump OFF, and open
the contrai valve to release all pressure. NEVER grasp a leaking, pressurized hose with your hands; the force of esca-
ping hydraulic fluid cou Id cause serious injury.
• Do not subjectthe hose to any potential hazard such as fire, extreme cold or heat, sharp surfaces, or heavy impact. Do
not allowthe hose to kink,twist, curl, or bendso tightly thatthe fluid flow within the hose is blocked or reduced. Do not
use the hose to move attached equipment.Periodically inspect the hose fo wear, because any of these conditions can
damage the hose and result in persona! injury.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.Hoses also must not corne in contact
with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated abjects and some paints. Consultthe manufacturer before pain-
ting a hose. Never paint couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive material can result in persona! injury.
Pump
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the pump or tamper with the internai high pressure relief valve. Creating
pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in persona! injury.
• Completely retract the ram before opening the filler screw on the pump to add hydraulic fluid. An overfill can cause
persona! injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when rams are retracted.
Ram
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity ot the ram. Creting pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in persona!
injury.
• Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a ram. The load may tip and cause persona! injury.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Setup
The pump may be operated in a horizontal position, or in a vertical position with the head painting down as shown.
1. Assemble the hose between the pump and ram.
2. Determine the appropriate attachment for your application; assemble the attach ment to the ram piston.
• The use of extension tubes or off-center attachments greatly reduces the
capacity of the hydraulic system. When using extension tubes, put the shortest-
tubes on the ends of the setup; never put the shortest tubes in the middle of
the setup.
• Sorne components in this set do not match the maximum pressure rating of
the pump and ram. USE A PRESSURE GAUGE IN THE SYSTEM TO MONITOR
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. Refer to the instructions in this document for Typical
Applications and Load Capacities.
