SET UP
NOTICE: The pump’s maximum working pressure is 10,000
PSI. Make sure that all hydraulic equipment such as cylinders,
hoses, couplers and etc. used with this pump are rated at
10,000 PSI operating pressure or more.
1. Prepare the pump for use:
A) For models P1201 & P1201S:
Remove shipping plug and replace with a vent plug. Pull
vent plug stem upward before use, press down when
moving or storing the pump. (refer to Figure 4)
B) For models P2301, P2301M & P4301:
Turn the top cap of the vent screw counter-clockwise to
open the vent. Turn the cap clockwise to close the vent
screw when moving or storage. (refer to Figure 5)
2. Carefully remove the threaded plug on oil outlet port, then
connect 3/8”NPTF hydraulic connection to oil outlet port,
i.e. coupler, hydraulic hose, fitting etc.
For model P2301M:
The pump comes with a 4-way valve to use with double
acting cylinder. Connect two hoses from the pump to both
ports of a double-acting cylinder. If using on single acting
cylinder, the valve needs to be changed to 3-way valve.
Consult with BVA Technical service 888-332-6419.
NOTICE: Always secure threaded connections with non-
hardening pipe thread compound. Take care not to introduce
compound into port orifices. Tighten securely to prevent
accidental removal of components while in use.
3. Install a pressure gauge in-line from the pump for better
control and safety purpose.
4. Tighten securely to prevent accidental removal of
components while in use.
5. Check for leaks in system and repair by qualified personnel
as needed. Depressurize the hydraulic system before
servicing.
