OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. This kit is designed for the following applications, spreading, bending, stretching, pulling,
clamping, pushing, lifting, pressing and straightening.
B. Inspect all components prior to using, if any damage, leaking or excessive wear is found, repair
or replace prior to using. Hoses should be free from cuts or crimps, all connections to pump
and ram should be tight. Keep protective ring on ram when not using threads on the ram.
C. The pump can be used flat, or vertical provided the hose is pointing down.
D. The ram can be used in any position, provided the setup is safe and stable.
1) Open the breather valve (valve should be closed when transporting the unit).
2) Close the release valve by rotating it clockwise until finger tight.
2) Position and secure the ram and extensions / adapters to be used in such a manner that
the setup is stable and will operate in a safe manner.
3) Slowly operate the pump handle until the setup meets the load, double check that the
setup is secure.
4) Operate the pump, observing the pressure gauge to ensure not to exceed maximum
operating pressure for specific load and setup. If the setup becomes unstable, stop
pumping and slowly release the pressure by rotating the release valve counterclockwise.
Re-position ram and extensions / adapters to a safer setup.
5) When releasing pressure, SLOWLY rotate the release valve counterclockwise, (never
more than one turn) while observing the setup for instability.
1) Store ram in retracted state to protect from damage and corrosion.
2) Protect components from corrosive chemicals, dirt, or damage by storing in a clean
protected area.
3) Use plastic threaded coupler protectors on ram and hose connectors when not in use.
4) Replace Hydraulic Oil annually with a High Grade Hydraulic Oil, never use alcohol, brake
fluid or transmission oil.
030202 - 4 Ton - Oil Capacity = 350ml
030207 - 10 Ton - Oil Capacity = 500ml
5) Periodically check the ram and pump piston for signs of rust, clean exposed areas with a
clean oiled cloth. Always ensure setup contact points are free of oil and debris.
6) Repairs should only be performed by a qualified hydraulic repair technician.
