INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Read carefully. Most malfunctions in new equipment are the result of improper operation and/or improper setup
assembly.
Preparation: Remove pump from shipping container -- but do not remove any plugs or valves until the unit is ready
to be fully assembled to prevent dirt or foreign matter from contaminating system.
Inspection: Visually inspect all components for shipping damage. If any damage is found, notify carrier immedi-
ately.
Electrical Connections:
Compare motor nameplate against power availability to prevent motor burnout or dangerous electrical overloading.
Minimize the length of extension cords and be sure they are of adequate wire size, with grounded connections.
Hydraulic Connections:
Check hydraulic oil level to prevent possible pump burnout. Open the red plastic fill plug located on the reservoir
plate. Oil level should be approximately 2” from top of reservoir plate -- with cylinders retracted and motor off.
Add SIMPLEX oil as necessary. Do not mix different grade of oil.
Loosen lock nut and back out (turn counter-clockwise ) relief valve to prevent unintended pressure buildup.
Make sure all desired gauge, hose and quick coupler connections are tight and secure before operating. The pumps
pressure ports are located just below the control valve.
Hose Connection:
Couple hoses to pump outlet manifold. “A” port is for advancing and “B” port is for retracting the piston in the
torque wrench. Pump are supplied with the specified coupling halves already connected to the pump ports to
prevent incorrect coupling of hoses to wrench.
Couple hoses to torque wrench. When using SIMPLEX pump and torque wrench combination, Series WH hoses
and couplers are designed so that the pump advance port can only be connected to the wrench advance port, and the
pump retract port can only be connected to the wrench retract port.
