sure that all the components are fit for the
intended use
DO NOT exceed the rated pressure of the
pump or the rated capacity of the

AHP SERIES – Hydrotest Pumps:
1.0 General Description:
The Hi-Force AHP range of Hydrotest pumps are
supplied from a range of 8 models with output
pressures ranging from 6 bar(87psi) to 2931bar
(42,500psi) and are suitable for use with various
fluids including water.
2.0 Before operating your Hi-Force Hydraulic
Power Pack please ensure that the following
instructions are carried out.
1. Check that there is sufficient fluid in the
reservoir. If not, top up with mains
water or suitable hydraulic oil.
2. Check that the "Pressure Let-Down
Valve" is in the open position (Turn anti-
clockwise).
3. Close off the "Air Stop Valve". (Turn
anti-clockwise).
4. Turn the "Air pressure Regulator" anti-
clockwise until the handle becomes
free and easy.
5. Connect a suitable air supply to the
"Air Supply connection" (3/8" BSP
Female).
Please note that the maximum air
pressure supplied to the Power Pack
should never exceed 100 PSI.
6. Connect a suitable hydraulic hose
(rigid piping with screwed and coned
connections in case of very high
pressure Power Packs) to the outlet
connection. Please note that the
hydraulic hose or piping together with
adapters and couplings should have a
rated working pressure equal to the
maximum output pressure of the Power
Pack.
Hoses are available from Hi-Force Ltd or your Hi-
Force Distributor suitable for working pressures
up to 30,000 PSI. Above this pressure, stainless
steel piping together with high-pressure fittings
should be used. These are also available from
Hi-Force.
