Parts List & Operating Instructions
Air Intake Valve
Air Inlet
Hydraulic Connections
1. Remove the shipping plug, and install the vented oil fill plug. See Figure 1.
2. Clean all the areas around the fluid ports of the pump and cylinder.
3. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed.
4. Clean all hose ends, couplers, and union ends.
5. Remove the thread protector from the hydraulic fluid outlet in the swivel adapter. Connect the hose assembly
to the hydraulic fluid outlet, and couple the hose to the cylinder.
Important: Seal external pipe connections with high-grade thread sealant. Teflon tape may be used
provided only one layer of tape is used. Apply tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent it from being
pinched by the coupler and broken. Loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct
the flow of fluid, or jam precision-fit parts.
Air Connections
1. Remove the thread protector from the air inlet of the pump. Install a threaded fitting that is compatible with
your air supply fitting.
2. Connect shop air to the fitting. Regulate air supply pressure to between 100 psi (7 BAR) and 140 psi (9 BAR).
Priming the Pump
1. Press the RELEASE end of the pedal while holding down the air intake
valve with a flathead screwdriver. (The air intake valve is located directly
under the pedal in the area marked PRESS.) See Figure 2.
2. Allow the pump to cycle for approximately 15 seconds.
3. Remove the screwdriver, and press the end of the pedal marked PRESS.
If the cylinder extends and pressure builds, the pump has been successfully
primed. If the pump does not respond, repeat steps 1–3, jogging the air
intake valve while holding the pedal in the RELEASE position.
Operation
1. To extend the cylinder, press the end of the pedal marked PRESS.
2. To hold the cylinder in position, release the pedal.
3. To retract the cylinder, press the end of the pedal marked RELEASE.
