OPERATION
1. To extend the cylinder, depress on the foot pedal marked "Pump" (horizontal portion) until desired pressure, load
or position is reached.
2. To hold the cylinder in position, release the foot pedal to deactivate the pump.
3. To retract the cylinder, depress the release valve by stepping on the foot pedal marked "Release" (raised, stirrup
shaped portion).
Note: Never operate a pump which is disconnected from application. If operate in this condition, the hose
and connections will become pressurized. This increases burst hazard. Damage may occur to pump and its
components.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect hoses and connections daily. Replace damaged components immediately with factory replacement parts
only.
2. Tighten connections as needed. Use non-hardening pipe thread compound when servicing connections.
3. Use only good quality hydraulic fluid. We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
1. Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hose from application.
2. With pump in its upright, horizontal position, remove the air vent plug located on the top plate of the reservoir.
3. Use a small funnel to fill reservoir to within 3/4" (19mm) of the opening.
4. Wipe up any spilled fluid and reinstall the air vent plug.
Note: Use only a good quality hydraulic oil. Never use brake fluid, transmission fluid, turbine oil, motor oil, alcohol,
glycerin etc. Use of other than good quality hydraulic oil will void warranty and damage the pump, hose, and ap-
plication.
!
Never operate pump when it is 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 com-
ponents.
Changing Hydraulic Fluid
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hose from application.
2. With pump in its upright, horizontal position, remove the air vent plug located on the top plate of the reservoir.
3. Use a small funnel to fill reservoir to within 3/4" (19mm) of the opening.
4. Pour used fluid into a sealable container.
5. Dispose of fluid in accordance with local regulations.
6. Fill with a good quality hydraulic oil as recommended above. Reinstall air vent plug.
Lubrication
Use a light machine oil to lubricate pivot points, hinges etc.
When not in use or during storage
a. Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hoses from application.
b. Wipe clean, thoroughly.
c. Store in clean, dry environment. Avoid extreme temperatures.
d. For transportation or long storage, replace air vent plug (black color) with shipping plug (red color).
e. Shield pump with a protective cover.
