This unit is a single stage (single speed, single piston) hydraulic hand pump capable of developing pressures up to
10,000 PSI. The handle effort at 10,000 PSI is 75 lbs. The unit delivers .069 cu. in. of oil per full stroke and can be
operated horizontally, or vertically with the pump head facing downward. The pressure control knob provides instant
release or pumping action. The sealed reservoir has a volumetric capacity of 12.5 cu. in. (9 cu. in. of which is useable
at sea level). The pump also features a high pressure safety relief valve.
NOTE:
•
These instructions should be read and carefully followed. Most problems with new equipment are caused
by improper operation or installation.
WARNING
•
All WARNING statements must be carefully observed to help prevent personal injury.
Hydraulic Hose
•
Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the proper tools. Do not overtighten the
connections. Connections need only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening may cause
premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
•
Should a hydraulic hose ever burst, rupture, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump.
Never attempt to grasp a leaking hose under pressure with your hands. The force of the escaping
hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
•
Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl or bend so tightly that the oil flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for signs of wear because any of these conditions can
damage the hose and may result in personal injury.
•
Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress may damage the hose and cause personal injury.
•
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Consult
the manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive
materials may result in personal injury.
Pump
•
Do not exceed the PSI hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the internal
high relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities may result in personal injury.
•
Before replenishing the oil level, retract all cylinders to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. An overfill
may cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
Cylinder
•
Do not exceed rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure may result in personal injury.
•
Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder. The load may tip and cause personal injury.
