Operation

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document 

including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note:

 Refer to the Hydraulic Pump 

instruction manual for pump operation.

1.  Position the Hydraulic Pump on a stable 

surface close to the pulling area.

2.  Hook one end of the Ram to the object to be moved 

and the other end to a stable base as shown in 

Figure C.  A chain or strap may be used on either 

side to provide a hooking surface.  Make sure the 

chain or strap is rated to support the pulling weight.

3.  Slowly apply pressure to the Ram.   

Use caution; watch for damage to stressed 

areas and ensure personal safety at all times.

4.  When the object has reached the desired position, 

make sure it is stable and slowly release pressure 

to the Ram. If the object is not stable, affix it in 

place before releasing pressure to the Ram.

Maintenance

1.  Keep all moving parts well lubricated.  Using a high 

quality lubricating oil, coat the Ram before every use.

2.  Occasionally the Ram will need to be purged 

of air (bled).  The symptoms will include: slow 

response to pumping, a spongy feeling to pumping, 

the Ram not compressing as far as it should, 

and a loss of pulling power.  Bleeding the ram 

requires specialized tools and procedures.  Only 

a qualified technician should bleed the Ram.
