5.0 INSTALLATION AND SETUP
5.1 Mounting
Install the pump on a solid and level horizontal surface that is
capable of supporting the weight of the pump, control valves and
any associated equipment.
Four slotted mounting holes are provided on the
pump bottom fl
ange. See Figure 2. Secure the pump
with 5/16" SAE or M8 ISO screws (user supplied).
Figure 2 - Mounting Holes
NOTICE
Pump must be operated only in the horizontal position
(with the pump bottom fl ange facing down). To avoid damage to
pump and possible oil leakage, do not attempt to mount the pump
on a wall or other vertical surface.
5.2 Valve Installation
Control valves are sold separately and are not included with the
pump. Refer to the Milwaukee Cylinder website or catalog for a
description of available control valves and related accessories.
Consult Milwaukee Cylinder if additional valve selection guidance
is needed.
NOTICE
Tandem center control valves should not be used with
Milwaukee Cylinder DuroTech Series pumps.
When installing control valves, always work in a clean and dry
area. Take all appropriate precautions to avoid contamination and
dirt entry. Follow the valve manufacturer's instructions carefully to
ensure proper installation. Be sure that the cover plates remain tightly
installed over all unused valve stations. See Figure 3.
The Milwaukee Cylinder cross over cover plate (optional
accessory) can be used to covert A and B outlet ports to P and T
ports for use with remote mounted valves.

5.3 Hydraulic Reservoir
The pump is shipped without oil. Reservoir must be fi lled with oil
before pump is operated.
Use only a high quality ISO 32 grade hydraulic oil recommended.
NOTICE
• Failure to use the correct oil type (high-quality ISO 32 hydraulic
oil) may result in damage to pump hydraulic components and
will void the product warranty.
• Be sure that the oil is clean. The oil cleanliness should be
maintained to a maximum level of 18/16/13 per the ISO
4406 standard. If the oil develops a milky, cloudy or dark
appearance, it should be changed immediately.
• To avoid overfi lling and possible equipment damage, add
oil to the pump reservoir only after all connected hydraulic
devices are de-energized and system pressure is completely
relieved.
Add oil as described in the following steps:
1.
Be certain that the air shut-off valve is in the OFF position
2. Verify that the pump hydraulic pressure gauge and pump
air pressure gauge both read zero (0) psi/bar.
3. Be sure that all connected hydraulic devices are fully de-
pressurized.
4. Loosen the vent screw one full turn to provide reservoir
venting.
5.
Loosen and remove the oil fi ll plug. See Figure 4.
6. Slowly pour oil through the oil fi ll port while watching the
level in the reservoir sight gauge. Stop pouring when the
reservoir is 1/2 to 3/4 full. DO NOT OVERFILL. Refer to
Section 5.4 for additional information.
7. Reinstall the oil fi ll plug after adding oil. Tighten oil fi ll plug
snug tight.
