MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
CAUSE ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS OR FATAL
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The use of hydraulic hand pumps is subject to certain hazards
that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the
exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore
essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and
operation of equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and
qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper
use. Hazards such as pressurized hydraulic fluid bursting from
hoses or fittings can happen resulting in loss of load, uncontrolled
lowering or dropping of load if instructions are not followed. Failure
• Do not use hoses in systems exceeding 10,000 psi (700 bar).
• The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure
rating of the lowest rated component in the system.
• Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses.
• Do not drop heavy objects on hose.
• Do not use the hydraulic hose to carry a hydraulic component.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat.
• Keep hose away from sharp objects and eliminate abrasion.
• Inspect the system before each use. Replace questionable
components immediately.
1. Remove the large allen socket pipe plug in the hydraulic
connections of the hand pump manifold. Remove any remnants
of teflon tape that may still be in the threads of the hydraulic
connections.
2. Make sure the hose fitting threads are not crossthreaded. Use
at least 1-1/2 wraps of teflon tape (or suitable sealant) on the
threads. Make sure the first complete thread is free from tape or
sealant so they do not enter and contaminate the hydraulic system.
WARNING: This hand pump's maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI. Do not exceed this rating, or use any components not
rated for 10,000 PSI with this pump.

• Use only compatible fluids.
• Make sure quick disconnect fittings are correctly and
completely fastened together. Quick disconnect couplers
should be hand tightened only. Never use tools.
• Never attempt to disconnect couplers while under system
pressure.
• Be sure pressure system and setup are stable before using.
• Never connect a hand pump to any hydraulic system that can
return more fluid to the reservoir than its capacity.
3. If tubing is used instead of hose, make sure the tubing is
supported. Unsupported tubing can lead to premature fitting
failure. Always hard mount valves and gages and never allow
tubing to support them. Place tube supports 4 to 7 inches behind
the fitting.
4. Install any reservoir vent cap that was supplied with your hand
pump before operating.
