4. Use Simplex oil only (Model # AO1, 1 gallon). Using oil other than Simplex Brand voids the pump warranty.
5. Wipe up any spilled fluid and install oil filler screw.
6. Return pump to original position (parallel to a flat level surface), reconnect application and air source. Operate for a few seconds, and then
check for leaks.
C) CHANGING THE OIL
1. For best results, change fluid once a year.
2. Repeat steps (B) “How to Fill Reservoir”, and then pour used fluid into a sealable container.
3. Fill with Simplex oil. Reinstall oil filler plug.
D) LUBRICATION (When no In-Line Oiler is used)
1. When used daily, pour a teaspoon of good quality air tool oil #10 non-detergent oil into the air source inlet of pump. Connect
hydraulic hose to application, connect air source to pump and operate pump a few seconds to evenly distribute fluid.
2. Use light machine oil to lubricate pivot points, hinges etc.
NOTE: NEVER OPERATE PUMP WHILE DISCONNECTED FROM APPLICATION. IF OPERATED IN THIS CONDITION, THE HOSE AND
CONNECTIONS BECOME PRESSURIZED. THIS INCREASES THE BURST HAZARD AND DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO PUMP /
COMPONENTS.
5.1 MAINTAIN OIL LEVEL
Check hydraulic oil level every 30 hours of operation (sight gauge should be completely covered in oil when all tools are retracted. Add Simplex oil
(Model # AO1 – 1 gallon) when necessary. Oil level should be no more than 1/2” from top of reservoir plate – with cylinders retracted and motor off.
