2. Remove dust covers/rubber plugs from oil ports
3. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or
damage and replace as needed.
4. Clean all threads and fittings.
5. Make

cylinders using two hoses.
6. Fully hand-tighten all couplers. Loose coupler
connections will block the flow of oil between the pump
and the cylinder.
7. Check for leaks in system and have repaired by
qualified personnel.
4.4 Oil level
Check the oil level of the pump prior to start-up, if
necessary add oil by removing the plug from the top of
the reservoir. The reservoir is full when the oil level
reaches the top of the sight glass.
IMPORTANT:
Add
components are fully retracted, otherwise the system
will contain more oil than the reservoir can hold.
5.0 OPERATION
5.1 Manual valve control
Some models have been designed to be operated with
2, 4 or 6 manual valves, one per output depending on
the model type.
To move the cylinder, move the handle of the valve
according to the desired direction. The advance or
retract movement is described as labeled on the valve.
5.2 Pendant Control
Some pumps (models with solenoid valves) have been
designed to be operated by a remote control connected
to the electric cabinet with a 5 m (15 ft) cable in the
connector Nr 7 (see Dwg 5).
Through this device the operator can operate every
cylinder (2, 4 or 6 cylinders depending on model).

5. Retract plunger: When this button is pushed the oil
flow of port A goes to the tank. Therefore in a general
purpose cylinder, the plunger moves inward.
6. Advance plunger: When this button is pushed the oil
flow of port A goes to the cylinder. Therefore in a
general purpose cylinder, the plunger moves outward.
7. Emergency button: When this button is pushed, the
pump stops the movement of all cylinders.
