Parts List & Operating Instructions
Follow these maintenance tips to keep your equipment in its best working condition.
IMPORTANT: Any repair or servicing that requires dismantling the pump must be performed in a dirt-
free environment by a qualified technician.
•
Keep the hydraulic system, including hose connections and equipment attached to the cylinder, as free from
dirt and grime as possible. Seal all unused couplers with dust covers.
•
Apply lubricant regularly to all pivot and rubbing points. Use a good grade of No. 10 motor oil or grease. Do
not use dry lubricants.
Bleeding Air From The System
Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during the initial
set-up, or after prolonged use, causing the cylinder to respond
slowly or in an unstable manner. To remove the air:
1. Position the cylinder at a lower level than the pump, and turn the cylinder rod end down
(see diagram).
2. With no load on the system and the pump vented, extend and retract the cylinder several times.
Air will be released into the pump reservoir. Follow the fluid level instructions for your reservoir type to release
the air from the reservoir and top off the fluid supply.
Hydraulic Fluid Level
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, cylinder(s) must be fully retracted before checking the fluid
level. Turn the release valve knob counterclockwise to release all pressure before breaking any
hydraulic connection in the system.
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir periodically. Use a funnel with a filter to add hydraulic fluid if
needed.
1. Place the pump on a flat surface.
2. Remove filler plug No. 17 (see parts list).
3. The hydraulic fluid should be visible in the cylinder above screw No. 4 (see parts list). Do not overfill.
