These instructions should be read and carefully followed. Most problems with new equipment are caused by improper
operation or installation. NOTE: These general instructions are intended for hydraulic hand pumps of various
pressure capabilities. Due to the numerous models available, it may be necessary to deviate slightly from the
instructions for your model. All illustrations and instructions refer only to the standard units.
These hydraulic hand pumps develop up to 10,000 PSI maximum line pressure, except model #61871 which has a
maximum setting of 8,600 PSI and model #P157-LUAM-EPR which has a maximum setting of 5,000 PSI. The handle
effort at 10,000 PSI is 130 lbs. when the lower third of the handle stroke is used. The low pressure first stage of the
pump unloads at 300 PSI, except models #61871, 61872, P157 and P157-LUAM that unload at 1400 PSI. This first
stage delivers 2.6 cu. in. of oil per full stroke of the handle to provide fast cylinder approach. Models #61871, 61872,
P157 and P157-LUAM deliver 0.65 cu. in. of oil per full stroke.
The high pressure second stage of the pump takes over when the pressure on the cylinder becomes more than
300 PSI (or 1400 PSI, depending on the model). The high pressure stage can develop pressure to the maximum
relief valve setting for that particular pump. This second stage delivers .16 cu. in. of oil per stroke of handle.
WARNING
General Operation
•
Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools. Do not
overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening the connections
can cause premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated
capacities, possibly resulting in personal injury.
•
Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shift the control
valve twice to release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose 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, sharp surfaces, heavy impact, or extreme heat or
cold. 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 wear, because any of these conditions can damage the hose
and result in personal injury.
•
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive material such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Consult
the manufacturer before painting the hose(s). Never paint the couplers! Hose deterioration due to
corrosive materials can result in personal injury.
Pump
•
Do not exceed the PSI hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the internal
high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities can result in personal injury.
•
Before replenishing the oil level, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. An overfill
can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
Cylinder
•
Do not exceed the rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure
can result in personal injury.
•
Do not set poorly balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder. The load
can tip and cause personal injury.
Note: Shaded areas reflect last revision(s) made to this form.
