Hydraulic Pump - Gilson TS-1 Operating Manual

Hydraulic Pump

The hydraulic pump is a low-pressure pump with a cast
aluminum body (Fig� 7)� If your pump leaks or malfunctions,
especially if the machine is old or heavily-used, we strong-
ly recommend that you return it to the factory for repair (a
three to five day process), or purchase a new pump. Call
800-444-1508 for instructions�
It is sometimes possible to repair pumps in the field by re-
placing parts. We DO NOT recommend field repair unless
you have experience in working with hydraulics�
See the Hydraulic Pump exploded diagram on
The various springs in the pump are NOT interchangeable�

NOTE: ALWAYS observe the position of the internal pump
cover before you remove it� Its vent is slightly closer
to the front (handle) end of the pump than to the
back� Gilson recommends using a marker or other
means to mark the operator (front) side of the cover
to ensure correct orientation during reassembly�
3. Remove parts carefully to not damage the pump casting
or any parts to be reinstalled� Balls must NOT be nicked
or scratched� Clean pump and parts, and dry thoroughly
before reassembly�
4. To reinstall balls, tap them gently into their seated
positions with a soft-metal, blunt-ended rod�
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove or adjust the bypass
assembly. These parts are assembled and preset at
the factory. Any change in the bypass pressure can
damage the vibrating assembly.
