Parts List & Operating Instructions
Safety Precautions contd.
•
Inspect each cylinder and coupler before each use to prevent unsafe conditions
from developing. Do not use cylinders if they are damaged, altered, or in poor
condition. Do not use cylinders with bent or damaged couplers, or damaged
port threads.
•
Before adding hydraulic fluid, retract the system to prevent overfilling the
pump reservoir. An overfill may cause personal injury due to excess reservoir
pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
•
Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be created by the load or parts of
the cylinder.
This guide cannot cover every hazard or situation—use the pump keeping SAFETY FIRST in mind.
Hydraulic Connections
IMPORTANT: Seal all hydraulic connections with a high grade, nonhardening thread sealant. Teflon
tape may be used — if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully (two threads back) to
prevent the tape from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the pipe end. Loose pieces
of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of fluid or cause jamming of precision-
fit parts.
1. Use a household ammonia cleaner to clean all areas around the fluid ports of the pump and cylinder. Clean
all hose ends, couplers, and union ends.
Keep the cylinder clean at all times. When the cylinder is not in use, keep the piston rod fully retracted
Note:
and upside down. Use protective covers on disconnected quick couplers. Limit the stroke on spring return
cylinders to prolong spring life.
2. Remove thread protectors from the hydraulic fluid outlets, and connect the hose assembly.
3. Couple the hose to the cylinder.
4. The use of a hydraulic pressure or tonnage gauge (not included) is strongly recommended. Remove the pipe
plug from the gauge port of the valve, thread the gauge into this port, and seal with a high grade,
nonhardening thread sealant or Teflon tape.
WARNING:
•
The gauge must have the same pressure rating as the pump and cylinder. Personal
injury can result if the wrong gauge is used.
•
Turn the release valve knob counterclockwise to release all pressure BEFORE
removing or tightening hose couplings.
