BEFORE USE AND SET UP
1. Familiarize yourself with the specifications and illustrations in this owners manual. Know your pump, its limitations
and how it operates before attempting to use. Refer to specification chart on page 2 for details of oil port thread
size, usable oil capacity, and more. If in doubt, contact your local Fastenal Representative or visit www.fastenal.
com to locate your nearest store.
2. Replace shipping plug (red color) with air vent plug (black color) before use.
3. Air Connection: Remove plastic cap, secure air supply threaded port connections with high grade, non-hardening
pipe thread sealant. Teflon tape can be used if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully, two threads
back, to prevent the tape from being introduced into hydraulic system, which could cause jamming of precision-fit
parts. Tighten fittings. Air input port is designed to fit popular 1/4" NPT air nipples (not included). Ensure that your
air source can dedicate 7.8CFM @ 110~175 PSI to each pump operated.
4. Hydraulic Connection: Clean all areas around the oil port of pump and application. Inspect all threads and fitting
for signs of wear or damage and replace as needed. Clean all hose ends, couplers and union ends. Remove the
manifold plug, secure threaded port connections with high grade, non-hardening pipe thread sealant. Teflon tape
can be used if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully, two threads back, to prevent the tape from
being introduced into hydraulic system, which could cause jamming of precision-fit parts. Tighten fittings, then
connect to application.
!
To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or property damage, hydraulic connections must be securely
fastened before building pressure in the system. Release all system pressure before loosening any
hydraulic connection in the system.
!
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.

WARNING
• Study, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with and on this
device before use.
• All WARNING statements must be
carefully observed to help prevent
personal injury.
• No alteration shall be made to this
device.
• Always wear protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away
from flames and heat. Hydraulic fluid
can ignite and burn. Do not operate
if leaks are detected.
• Crush Hazard. Keep hands and
feet away from loading area. Avoid
pinch points or crush points that can
be created by the load, cylinder, or
any equipment of system.
• To avoid crushing and related injuries:
NEVER work on, under or around
a lifted load before it is properly
supported by appropriate mechanical
means. Never rely on hydraulic
pressure alone to support load.
!
• Read and understand all warnings, instructions and
owners manual information before attempting to use
this equipment.
• Burst hazard exists if hose or connection pressure
exceeds rated pressure. Do not exceed the rated
capacity of this device.
• Use gauge or other load measuring instrument to
verify load.
• Inspect hoses and connections for damage prior
to use.
• Always ensure that the chosen application is stable
to work on and around.
• NEVER work under a lifted load without adequately
rated mechanical support. ALWAYS crib and block
a load as it is raised! DO NOT rely upon hydraulic
pump pressure to support a lifted load!
• Do not subject the pump and its components to
shock loads.
• Do not connect to application which can return
more oil to the reservoir than the pump reservoir
can hold.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in per-
sonal injury as well as property damage.
