Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With the Release Valve in the OPEN position and with Ram Plunger fully lowered, locate and remove the Oil Filler
Plug/Screw. Insert the Pump Handle into the Handle Sleeve; then pump 6 to 8 full stokes. Slowly squeeze lift control
valve for 6 to 8 seconds. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Oil
level should be even with the bottom of the oil filler hole. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug/Screw.
OPERATION
!
WARNING: ALWAYS monitor pressure, load or position using suitable equipment. Pressure may be
monitored by means of an optional manifold and gauge. Load may be monitored by means of a load cell
and digital indicator. Correct application position can only be determined by the operator of the equipment.
1. Connect the pump to suitable application.
2. Ensure the oil level is correct and the system fittings and connections are leak free before operating the pump.
3. Pump may be used in horizontal and vertical position as illustrated in Figure 2.
4. Close release valve by turning it clockwise. Finger tight ONLY. Using tools on release valve can damage it and
cause the pump to malfunction.
5. Pump handle or squeeze lift control valve until desired pressure,
load or position is reached.
6. Pressure will maintain until the release valve is opened.
7. To retract application, turn the release valve knob slowly counterclockwise
(never more than 2 full turns).
WARNING: NEVER operate pump with release valve closed and
!
disconnected from application. If operated in this condition, the hose
and connections become pressurized. This increases burst hazard.
Damage may occur to pump and its components.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect hoses and connections daily. Replace damaged components immediately with Omega hydraulics
replacement parts only.
2. Tighten connections as needed. Use pipe thread sealing compound when servicing connections.
3. Use only good quality hydraulic fluid. We recommend Premium hydraulic jack oil or equivalent. Never use brake
fluid, transmission fluid, turbine oil, motor oil, alcohol, glycerin etc. Use of other than good quality hydraulic oil will
void warranty and damage the pump, hose, and application.
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
1. Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hose from application.
2. With pump in its upright, horizontal position, remove vented oil filler plug/screw located on top of the reservoir.
3. Use a small funnel to fill reservoir to within 1/4" (6 mm) of the opening.
4. Wipe up any spilled fluid and reinstall the vented oil filler plug/screw.
Changing Hydraulic Fluid
For best results, change fluid once a year.
1. With pump in its upright, horizontal position, remove vented oil filler plug/screw located on top of the reservoir,
then pour used fluid into a sealable container.
2. Dispose of fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with a good quality hydraulic jack oil as recommended above. Reinstall vented oil filler plug/screw.

Lubrication

Use a light machine oil to lubricate pivot points, hinges etc.
Storage
1. When not in use, depressurize and disconnect hoses from application.
2. Wipe clean, throughly
3. Store in clean, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes. Lock handle into position using the spring loaded
locking pin mechanism.
4. Shield pump with a protective cover.
