INSTALLATION (continued)
■
Attached Control Switch
If your pump has a solenoid valve, attach a
solenoid valve pendant or foot switch to control the
valve using the connector as shown.
Set the Relief Valve (if necessary)
The external relief valve is located under a hex cap
on top of the pump. It is adjustable from 10,000 psi
(700 bar) down to 2000 psi (140 bar). Operating
pressure cannot be adjusted to above 10,000 psi
(700 bar).
To get the most accurate relief valve setting, start at
a lower pressure and adjust up to the desired relief
valve setting.
1. Install a pressure gauge in the pump outlet port.
2. Remove the hex cap covering the relief valve
adjustment screw. Loosen locknut. Using an allen
wrench, turn the adjustment screw counter-
clockwise one full turn.
3. Turn the pump on and run the pump motor,
watching the pressure gauge reading. Stop the
pump and adjust the relief setting until it is at the
desired pressure.
4. Verify the setting by running the pump several
times.
5. Tighten lock nut to secure setting on relief valve.
6. Replace the hex cap to cover the adjusting
screw.

Check Oil Level
Check the oil level prior to start-up and add GB
Electrical Hydraulic Oil, If necessary. Remove
the oil level gauge and add oil through the
opening in the top of the reservoir.
IMPORTANT: Add oil only when all system
components are in the fully retracted position. If
oil is added when plungers are advanced, there
will be more oil in the system than the pump
can hold. When cylinders are retracted, oil in
the hoses and cylinders will be returned and
the reservoir will be over filled.
Be sure to monitor oil level while pump
is running. If the oil level is full before
running the pump, but becomes low
during operation, the reservoir is too
small for your application.
