INSPECTION
The hydraulic hose is shipped attached to the pump, with a threaded male connector at the
opposite end to the pump. Attach the male connector to the female connector on the ram and
screw the threaded collar all the way onto the male threads and hand tighten. Ensure ram is fully
retracted before detaching hose from ram.
AIR PURGE
From time to time, air may enter the hydraulic system and will need to be purged. Evidence of air
in the system is a “spongy” feel when pumping or an incomplete stroke on the pump.
Turn the release valve counterclockwise by 1-1/2 turns. With ram fully retracted and release valve
open, pump the handle 10-20 times
It is recommended to use a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure when using components that
reduce the capacity of the unit.
