Connecting Hydraulic Tools; Electrical; Starting The Pump For The First Time; Pump Mounting - Simplex G1 Manual

4.3 CONNECTING HYDRAULIC TOOLS

Use only tools, hoses and accessories rated at 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm
disconnect couplings, make sure the couplings are fully engaged. Threaded connections such as fittings, gauges,
etc. must be securely tightened and leak free. Use 1.5 wraps of Teflon tape (or suitable thread sealant) on all threads,
leaving the first complete thread free of tape to ensure no foreign matter enters the hydraulic circuit.

4.4 ELECTRICAL

Check for proper electrical supply before connecting. Be sure the electrical connection is grounded. Check that your
power supply agrees with the motor nameplate and/or Simplex model decal.
NOTE: MOTOR MAY SPARK. DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE OR IN THE PRESENCE OF
CONDUCTIVE LIQUIDS.
1. Do not use a power or extension cord that is damaged or has exposed wires.
2. All single phase motors come equipped with a three prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounded type electrical outlet. Do not use a two prong ungrounded extension cord
as the pump's motor must be grounded.
WARNING
:
Loose or improperly threaded fittings can be potentially
dangerous if pressurized; however, severe over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need to be
tightened secure & leak free. Never hold or stand directly in line with any hydraulic connections while pressurizing.
Never grab, touch or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic pressure leak.
Escaping oil can penetrate the skin and a serious injury can result.
CAUTION: Do not subject the hose to potential hazards such as sharp surfaces, extreme heat or heavy impact. Do
not allow the hose to kink or twist. Inspect each hose for wear before it is used.

4.5 STARTING THE PUMP FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Locate the power switch on pendant and select to the "ON" position. Check for any leaks, repair as needed.
2. Shift pendant to the advance position to advance tool and release to retract tool. Look for movement in tool,
check for any leaks, repair as needed.
CAUTION: Never operate the pump without tool movement for more than 1 minute. Leaving the valve in the advance
or retract position without the tool's piston rod moving will overheat the oil.
CAUTION: Never disconnect or connect any hydraulic hoses or fittings without first unloading the tool, then unplug
the electrical cord of the pump. Open manual relief valve to assure that the system has been depressurized. View
the gauge reading and double check the gauge to assure pressure has been released.

4.6 PUMP MOUNTING
