Before repairs are made, depressurize system by opening the release valve
counterclockwise, but no more than 2 full turns.
OPERATION
WARNING: ALWAYS monitor pressure, load or position using suitable
equipment. Pressure may be monitored by means of an optional manifold
and gauge. Load may be monitored by means of a load cell and digital
indicator. Correct application position can only be determined by the operator
of the equipment.
1. Connect the pump to suitable application.
2. Ensure the oil level is correct and the system fittings and connections are leak
free before operating the pump.
3. Pump may be used in horizontal and vertical position
as illustrated on Figure 9.
4. Close release valve by turning it clockwise. Finger tight ONLY. Using tools on
release valve can damage it and cause the pump to malfunction.
5. Pump handle until desired pressure, load or position is reached.
6. Pressure will maintain until the release valve is opened.
7. To retract application, turn the release valve knob slowly counterclockwise
(never more than 2 full turns).
WARNING: NEVER operate pump with release valve closed and
disconnected from application. If operated in this condition, the hose and
connections become pressurized. This increases burst hazard. Damage
may occur to pump and its components.
