7) install the Hoses


Red shipping plugs must be removed from hydraulic pump
prior to installing hoses.
CAUTiON
Hydraulic pump may contain
residual oil from
testing procedures
during production.
We recommend using an oil
tray under the pump before
removing the shipping plugs.
Some hoses may be preassembled by the factory, check your
hoses per below instructions to ensure proper assembly.
Suction hose
– This is the clear hose that connects the hydraulic tank to
the pump inlet.
– Secure both ends of hose with spring loaded hose clamps.
high Pressure hose
– This hose is black and has a swivel nut on both ends.
– The Oil Inlet Hose sends hydraulic oil from the pump to the
control valve/cylinder.
– Hose connections do NOT require thread seal tape. The
O-ring seals against the face of the fittings on the pump
and hose.
Low Pressure hose
– This hose is black and has a swivel nut on both ends.
– The Oil Return Hose returns hydraulic oil from the control
valve/cylinder to the tank.
– Hose connections DO NOT require thread seal tape. This
hose has a tapered JIC hydraulic fitting that allows the
connection to seal when tightened and will only fit on the
correct connection.
Suction hose
1. Using the provided spring loaded hose clamps (A), connect
one end of the suction hose (50) to the hydraulic oil tank (B)
and the other end to the pump inlet on the pump (C). Using
a pair of pliers, squeeze the tabs on the spring loaded hose
clamps (A) together to open them up and slide over the end
of the clear suction hose and mounting fitting and release the
pliers to lock the clamps into place.
