Read and carefully follow these instructions. Most problems with new equipment are caused by improper operation
or installation.
WARNING
To help prevent personal injury, all warning statements must be observed.
Hydraulic Hoses
•
Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened using the proper tools. Do NOT
overtighten. Connections need only be secure and leak-free. Overtightening may cause premature
thread failure or may cause high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
•
If a hydraulic hose ever ruptures, bursts, or needs to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump.
Never attempt to grasp a leaking hose under pressure with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic
fluid could cause serious injury.
•
Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl or bend so tightly that the oil flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear because any of these conditions can damage
the hose and possibly result in personal injury.
•
Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress may damage the hose and possibly cause
personal injury.
•
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive materials, such as creosote-Impregnated objects, and some paints.
Consult the manufacturer before painting a hose. NEVER paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to
corrosive materials may result in personal injury.
Pump
•
Do not exceed the PSI hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the internal
high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities may result in personal injury.
•
Before replenishing the oil level, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. an overfill
may cause personal injury dur to excess reservoir pressure created when the cylinders are retracted.
Cylinder
•
Do NOT exceed the rated capacities of the cylinders because excess pressure may result in personal
injury.
•
Do NOT set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder because the load may tip and cause
personal injury.
Air Motor
•
Disconnect the air supply when the pump is not is use or when breaking any connection in the hydraulic
system.
•
It is recommended that a shut-off valve or quick disconnect be installed in the air line to the pump unit.
Close the shut-off valve before connecting the air line to the pump.

Form No. 102561 Operating Instructions for: PA46 Series AIR HYDRAULIC PUMP Read and carefully follow these instructions. Most problems with new equipment are caused by improper operation or installation. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING To help prevent personal injury, all warning statements must be observed. - Page 2 IMPORTANT: Seal all external pipe connections with a high-quality, nonhardening thread sealant, such as Power Team HTS6. PTFE tape can be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer of tape is used. Apply the tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent it from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the system.
- Page 3 7. Remove the motor and pump assembly from the reservoir. Drain and clean the inside of the reservoir. 8. Fill the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic oil. Place the pump and motor assembly (with gasket) back on the reservoir and tighten the screws securely and evenly.

Do NOT kink the air lines. 3. Apply Power Team HTS6 thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threads of the gauge. Thread the gauge into the gauge port and tighten with a wrench. - Page 5 Form No. 102561 Operating Instructions NOTE: • Use the proper gauges and equipment when troubleshooting. • Depending on the pump version, it is often best to check for leaks by using a hand pump and applying pressure to the suspect area without the motor running. Watch for leaking oil and follow it back to its source.
