5.0 Installation / Setup 

5.1 Pump Requirements 

Ensure  that  the  hydraulic  pump  to  be  used  is  suitable  for  the  cylinder/s  to  which  it  will  connect.  For  a  
single-acting cylinder (one pressure coupling connection), a single-acting hydraulic pump fitted with either 
a 2-way or 3-way valve and a single, correctly rated hose, must be used. 

5.2 Hydraulic Connections 

Connect  the  hydraulic  hose/s  between  the  cylinder/s  and  the  pump,  ensuring  that  the  coupler/s  are  

fully

 

hand-tightened ONLY

. To do so: [1] Press the male coupler into the female coupler (1), [2] then turn 

the threaded-collar clockwise (by hand) until the threads are fully engaged. 

NEVER

  use  wrenches  in  an  attempt  to  connect  the  coupling/s.  Incorrectly  connected 

coupling/s are one of the most common causes of faulty operation. 

IMPORTANT:

 Make sure that all coupler threads are fully engaged. (

See figure 5.2, panel 3
