Operating Instructions, Form No. 102561, Back sheet 1 of 4
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
INSTALL the AIR FITTINGS:
Remove the thread protector from the air inlet, and install the air supply fittings
(not included) as shown. Minimum air supply must be 50 CFM and 80 PSI, with 100 PSI being the maximum.
Secure your pump fitting to the air supply.
IMPORTANT: Seal all external pipe connections with a high-quality, nonhardening thread sealant, such as
Power Team HTS6. PTFE tape can be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer of tape is used.
Apply the tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent it from being pinched by the coupler and broken off
inside the system. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of oil or
cause jamming of precision-fit parts.
2.
ASSEMBLE the HOSES:
Clean the areas around the oil ports of the valve and hydraulic cylinders, and remove
the plastic thread protectors. Clean all hose ends, couplers, or union ends. Inspect all threads and fittings for
signs of wear or damage and replace as needed.
3.
FILL the RESERVOIR:
Remove the filler cap and insert a clean funnel. Fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil to
within 1/2" of the top of the filler hole. Replace the filler cap with the breather hole open.
NOTE: The pump has been shipped without oil in the reservoir. Power Team hydraulic oil has been shipped
with the pump, and if additional oil is required, use only Power Team hydraulic oil.
4.
BLEED AIR from the SYSTEM:
Position the hydraulic cylinder at a lower level than the pump and completely
retract any load from the cylinder. Remove the filler plug. Run the hydraulic system through several cycles of
extending and retracting the cylinder, free of any load. Check the oil level in the reservoir and add oil if needed.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Any repair or servicing which requires dismantling the pump should be performed in a dirt-free environment
by a qualified technician.
Disconnect the pump from the air supply before performing maintenance or repair procedures.
LUBRICATION of the AIR DRIVEN MOTOR:
If the pump is operated on a continuous duty cycle or at maximum
speed for an exteded period, an automatic air line oiler is recommended. Install the oiler in the air inlet line as close
to the pumping unit as possible. Adjust the oiler to feed 1-3 drops of SAE #10 oil per minute (one drop for every 50-
75 CFM of air) into the system.
