Operating Instructions, Form No. 102838, Back sheet 1 of 3
Safety Precautions (Continued)
Electrical Supply
●
Check the voltage rating on the pump motor name plate to be certain the outlet you are using is of the
proper voltage.
●
Correct voltage is required for pump to operate properly.
●
Low voltage may cause the following:
■
overheated motor;
■
motor fails to start under load;
■
motor surging when trying to start;
■
motor stalls before maximum pressure is reached.
●
Always check the voltage at the motor with the pump running at full pressure.
●
Never run the motor on long, light gauge extension cords.
SET-UP
Electric Motor
To help avoid possible personal injury
●
Any electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician.
●
Disconnect the power supply before removing the motor casing cover or performing repairs or
maintenance.
●
Changing the voltage on this unit is an involved, and if improperly performed, hazardous procedure.
Consult the manufacturer for specific information before attempting any rewiring.
Hydraulic Connections
1. Clean all areas around the oil ports of the pump and cylinders.
2. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed.
3. Clean all hose ends, couplers or unions ends.
4. Remove the thread protectors from the hydraulic oil outlets. Connect the hose assembly to the hydraulic oil outlet ,
and couple the hose to the cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Seal all external pipe connections with a high quality,
nonhardening pipe thread sealant.
PTFE tape can also be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer
of tape is used. Apply the tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent it from being pinched by the coupler and
broken off inside the system. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of oil
or cause jamming of precision-fit parts.
Filling the Reservoir
NOTE: This pump has been shipped without oil in the reservoir. High-grade Power Team hydraulic fluid has
been shipped with the pump in separate containers. If additional oil is required, use only Power Team
hydraulic fluids.
1. Remove the filler cap and insert a funnel with a filter. Using the Power Team hydraulic fluid provided fill the
reservoir to 1" from the fill hole. Remove funnel and replace the filler cap.
PUMP OPERATION
Priming the Pump
When operating the pump for the first time:
1. After filling the pump reservoir and checking that the hose connections are secure, place the valve in the neutral
position, plug the electric motor into a sufficiant power supply and start the pump by switching the toggle to the run
position.
2. Disconnect a hose from the system and route it back to the pump reservoir. Run the pump until a steady flow of oil
is observed free of suspended air bubbles. Reconnect the hose to the system.
3. Cycle the pump several times, extending and retracting the cylinder(s) fully to eliminate air from the system. For
more complete instructions refer to the section section titled "Bleeding Air from the System."
4. Retract the cylinder(s) and check the reservoir oil level. It should be 1" from the filler vent cap. Add Power Team
hydraulic fluid if necessary.
Note: Shaded areas reflect last revision(s) made to this form.
