GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Ensure that attachments are fully engaged before applying load.
2. Ensure that load is centrally applied to attachment or ram saddle. Do not load off center.
3. Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by using a load cell and indicator or you may monitor pressure
developed in the ram by using an inline pressure gauge, then calculate the applied force using the formula:
F = P x A,
where F = lbs force, P = pressure in PSI, and A = effective ram area in in².
Ram Area of B65114 is: 0.998 in²
Ram Area of B65115 is: 2.431 in²
you can refer to the Load-Pressure Correlation chart on page 12.
4. If bowing or bending of ram or any attachment occurs during use,
"STOP"
, release pressure immediately and
reconsider application. Application may not be compatible with product, a ram kit with a higher capacity may be
needed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
(Refer to Figure 1 on page 3)
1. Study, understand, and follow all instructions provided with and on this device before use.
2. Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent, broken, leaking or damaged components are noted.
3. Ensure that product and application are compatible.
4. Check to ensure that all parts of your kit are included (see illustration and parts list on page 10 & 11).
5. Carefully remove the dust covers and plugs from hose coupler and ram coupler.
6. Connect hose coupler to ram coupler, ensure that there are no fluid leaks.
7. Locate and open release valve. Pump handle a few strokes to purge air from system. Close release valve and pump
handle until ram is fully extended, then open release valve until ram has fully retracted.
8. With ram fully retracted and release valve open, place pump in horizontal position. Locate and open oil filler screw (on
reservoir body, near the back). This will release air trapped within the reservoir. Retighten the oil filler screw.

All WARNING
statements must be carefully observed
to help prevent personal injury.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of
sustaining rated capacity loads.
• Do not open oil filler screw unless ram is fully
retracted.
• Do not wear sandals and jewelry when operating
this equipment.
• Do not use as a vehicle lifting device or vehicle support.
• Any attachment that is not loaded centrally, as
through the centerline of the ram, is considered to
be "offset".
• When extension tubes and/or offset attachments
are used, the rated capacity is always reduced by
50% for each tube or attachment connected.
• Monitor pressure and load at all times.
• Always verify load with calibrated load cell and
indicator, known good pressure gauge or equivalent
devices.
•
Do not modify this device.
•
Failure to heed these markings may result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
!
To avoid crushing and
related injuries:
Do not work on, under or
around a lifted load.
Always support with
appropriate mechanical
means.
Wear protective clothing
and safety goggles to
reduce the risk of
injection.
• If oil leakage is detected, discontinue use of the ram
immediately and contact your nearest Porto-Power
Blackhawk Automotive Authorized Service Center.
The ram could develop excessive pressure and cause
the ram, hose or coupler to burst, which could cause
serious injury or death.
