HYDRAULIC PUMP SET-UP PROCEDURE
Motor Hook-up and Operation
Universal Motor:
The universal motor is wired for 115 or 230 volts, 50/60 cycles according to the customer's request.
This motor cannot be rewired.
SET-UP AND OPERATION
Filling The Reservoir
NOTE: The pump has been shipped without oil in the reservoir. High-grade hydraulic oil has been shipped
with the pump in a separate container. If additional oil is required, use a high-grade, approved hydraulic oil.
1. Clean the area around the filler cap to remove all dust and grit. Any dirt or dust in the oil can damage the polished
surfaces and precision-fit components of the pump.
2. Retract all cylinders to the return position.
3. Remove the filler cap, and insert a clean funnel and filter. Fill with hydraulic oil to 1/2" from the top of the filler hole.
Replace filler cap with the breather-hole in the filler cap open.
4. Cycle the pump (with wrench attached) several times. Retract the wrench, and check the oil level in the pump
reservoir again.
Hydraulic Connections
1. Clean all the areas around the oil ports of the pump and wrench.
2. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed.
3. Clean all hose ends, couplers or union ends.
4. Remove the thread protectors from the hydraulic oil outlets. Connect the hose assembly to the hydraulic oil outlet,
and couple the hose to the wrench. Although a high-grade, non-hardening thread sealant is preferred, PTFE tape
may be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer of tape is used. Apply carefully to prevent the tape
from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the pipe end. Any loose pieces of tape could travel
through the system and obstruct the flow of oil.
