Parts List & Operating Instructions
1. Place an approved waste oil container under the drain fitting in the
drain pan.
2. Lift the sliding door and place the oil filter on the plate, centering it
between the tie rods. The filter's open end (the sealing area
containing the o-ring) must be facing down toward the drain holes.
When the oil filter is crushed, the oil will be forced into the holes.
3. Close the sliding door and press the START button. The pump will
extend the ram, retract the ram, and automatically shut off when the
cycle is complete. If it is necessary to interrupt the cycle, press
the STOP button.
4. Open the sliding door and remove the crushed filter, being careful
not to scratch, cut, or puncture your skin on the filter's sharp edges.
Do not open the sliding door while the ram is extending.
Note: When crushing the smaller automotive size filters, cycle
time can be reduced by stopping the ram during the return stroke:
A. Press the STOP button or open the sliding door.
B. Press the RETRACT button to reverse the cylinder just
enough to remove the crushed filter and insert the next
filter.
5. Recycle or dispose of waste oil and oil filters according to local,
state, and federal regulations.
1. Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic systems. Keep the outer surface of the pump, including hose
connections and the filler cap, as clean as possible.
2. Keep the breather hole in the filler cap clean and unobstructed.
3. Keep the override switch clean and in working order.
Changing the Oil in the Pump Reservoir
The oil should be changed every 5000 cycles (or about once each year) depending upon the degree of usage and the
cleanliness of the work environment.
1. Release system pressure.
2. Place a bucket under the pump reservoir. Loosen the plug on the bottom of the reservoir, and let the oil drain out.
Tighten the drain plug.
3. Remove dirt from the area around the filler cap. Any abrasive materials collected in the oil will damage the polished
surfaces and precision-fit components of this pump.
4. Remove the filler cap, and insert a clean funnel (with a filter) into the fill port.
5. Verify that the cylinder is completely retracted. Add SAE 10W or 20W hydraulic oil (OTC #9036, 9037, or equivalent)
until the oil level is one inch from the bottom of the fill port.
6. Cycle the pump and cylinder without building pressure. Retract the cylinder and check the oil level in the pump
reservoir. Note: If the cylinder does not advance, refer to the procedure for "Bleeding Air from the System."
Bleeding Air from the System
If the cylinder responds slowly or in an unstable ("spongy") manner, air is trapped in the hydraulic system. To remove the
air, loosen the hose fitting at the top of the ram. Run the pump until you see a steady flow of oil (free of air bubbles). Tighten
the fitting.
