5 Operation
DANGER
To avoid injury, keep your body to the side of the pump, away from the line of force of the lever. In some situations, the lever
can “kick back.”
CAUTION
Do not attach any extensions to the lever. These cause unstable pump operation.
NOTE
At high pressure, use short strokes to reduce effort. Maximum leverage occurs during the last 5
°
of the stroke.
5.1 Before using the pump
1. Verify that all system fittings and connections are tight and free of leaks.
2. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add hydraulic fluid if necessary (see section 6.2).
5.2 Using a two-speed pump
Initially, the pump has no load and can operate in a high-flow, rapid-advance mode. When a load is detected,
the pump switches to a lower-flow mode to build pressure.
NOTE
Operate the pump lever at moderate speed while the pump is in the high-flow mode If you operate the lever rapidly, the pump
cannot deliver a full volume of hydraulic fluid in this mode.
