SECTION II
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Read carefully. Most malfunctions in new equipment are the result of improper operation and/or improper set-up 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 immediately.
2-1.
Gasoline, Oil and Fuel
1. Above 32 degrees Fahrenheit use S.A.E. 10 W 30 (Motor only)
2. Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit use S.A.E. 5 W 20 (Motor only)
3. Oil sump capacity - About 1.3 pints or check dip stick
4. Use clean, unleaded automotive gasoline (without alcohol)
2-2.
Hydraulic Connections:
Check hydraulic oil level to prevent possible pump burnout. Open the fill plug located at the top of the motor shroud. Remove
inspection plug on cover plate. Oil level should be approximately 1” from top of reservoir plate with tools retracted and motor off.
Add SIMPLEX oil as necessary. Do not mix different grades of oil.
Make sure all desired gauge, valve, hose and quick coupler connections are tight and secure before operating
(See Section 1-2). The pumps pressure ports is 3/8 NPTF and are located just below the control valve. (See Section 3-1).
These pumps are equipped with a “popper” internal relief valve that makes an audible popping noise when 10,000 psi hydraulic
pressure is reached.
The use of a pressure gauge is strongly recommended for normal operation of these pumps and required when the external
adjustable relief valve pressures are changed. Mounted on a gauge adapter between the pump and cylinder, the gauge permits
the operator to monitor tool operating pressures .
Do not exceed rated capacity of equipment connected to pump. Where shock loading or unsteady loads may cause overloading
of cylinders, the operator must use larger capacity cylinders to provide additional operating margin.
2-3.
Starting Instructions (Gasoline Engine)
Throttle to choke position ( extreme right ): Grasp STARTER HANDLE and pull rope out slowly to engagement: Pull rope with a
rapid, continuous full stroke and let rewind slowly, and do not allow to snap back. Move the control lever to “HIGH SPEED” position
then to“RUN” as the engine warms.
