1. Filling the Reservoir
NOTE: Most pumps are shipped without hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. Hydraulic fluid may have been
shipped in a separate container, but if hydraulic fluid is needed, use only approved Power
Team hydraulic fluid rated at AW 46 47 cSt @ 38°C (215 SUS @ 100°F). If low temperature
requirements are needed, use hydraulic fluid 5.1 cSt @ 100°C (451 cSt @ -40°C).
A� Clean the area around the filler cap to remove debris� Debris in the hydraulic fluid can damage the
polished surfaces and precision-fit components of this pump�
B� Remove the filler cap and insert a clean funnel with a filter�
C� Fill the reservoir with hydraulic fluid to 1�3-3�8 cm (0�5-1�5 in�) from the cover plate�
D� Install the filler cap� Verify the breather-hole is open, if applicable�
E� Clean up any oil spillage to avoid causing a safety and/or environmental hazard�
2. Hydraulic Connections
A� Clean the areas around the fluid ports of the pump and wrench�
B� Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, replace as needed�
C� Clean all hose ends, couplers or union ends�
D� Remove the thread protectors from the hydraulic fluid outlets� Connect the hose assembly to the
hydraulic fluid outlet, and couple the hose to the tool� Although a high-grade, non-hardening thread
sealant is preferred, PTFE tape may be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer of tape is
used� Apply carefully to prevent the tape from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the
pipe end� Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of oil�
: To prevent personal injury from leaking hydraulic fluid, seal all hydraulic connections
with a high-quality, non-hardening, pipe thread sealant.
IMPORTANT: Sealant tape or non-hardening sealer tape can be used to seal hydraulic connections
if only one layer of tape is used. Apply tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent it from being
pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the system. Loose pieces of sealant could travel
through the system and obstruct the flow of fluid or cause jamming of precision-fit parts.
