AIR HYDRAULIC PUMP
Read and carefully follow these instructions. Most problems with new equipment are caused by improper operation
or installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To help prevent personal injury, all warning statements must be observed.
Hydraulic Hoses
•
Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened using the proper tools. Do NOT
overtighten. Connections need only be secure and leak-free. Overtightening may cause premature
thread failure or may cause high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
•
If a hydraulic hose ever ruptures, bursts, or needs to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump.
Never attempt to grasp a leaking hose under pressure with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic
fluid could cause serious injury.
•
Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl or bend so tightly that the oil flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear because any of these conditions can damage
the hose and possibly result in personal injury.
•
Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress may damage the hose and possibly cause
personal injury.
•
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive materials, such as creosote-Impregnated objects, and some paints.
Consult the manufacturer before painting a hose. NEVER paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to
corrosive materials may result in personal injury.
Pump
•
Do not exceed the PSI hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the internal
high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities may result in personal injury.
•
Before replenishing the oil level, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. an overfill
may cause personal injury dur to excess reservoir pressure created when the cylinders are retracted.
Cylinder
•
Do NOT exceed the rated capacities of the cylinders because excess pressure may result in personal
injury.
•
Do NOT set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder because the load may tip and cause
personal injury.
Air Motor
•
Disconnect the air supply when the pump is not is use or when breaking any connection in the hydraulic
system.
•
It is recommended that a shut-off valve or quick disconnect be installed in the air line to the pump unit.
Close the shut-off valve before connecting the air line to the pump.
