BEFORE USE
1. Most malfunctions in new equipment are the result of improper operation and/or improper set-up assembly.
2. Visually inspect all components for shipping damage. Do not use if any damage is found.
Note: Gas Pump is shipped without hydraulic oil. Add oil before operating.
3. Familiarize yourself with the specifications and illustrations in this owners manual. Know your pump, its limitations and how it
operates before attempting to use. Refer to specification chart and figure 1 on page 2 for details of oil port thread size, usable
oil capacity and more.
The pump's maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI. Make sure that all hydraulic equipment such as cylinders, hoses,
couplers, etc. used with this pump are rated at 10,000 PSI operating pressure.
Hydraulic Connections:
1. Use only hydraulic oil specified by the manufacturer. Check and make sure the oil level in reservoir is at about 2" from top of
reservoir plate, with cylinder retracted and motor off.
2. Use of pressure gauge is strongly recommended. Attach pressure gauges between the pump and cylinder, these gauges permit
the operator to monitor pressure on cylinder.
3. Make sure couplers, hoses, valve and gauges are tighten securely to prevent accidental removal of components while in use.
Hoses shall not be kinked or twisted.
Note: Always secure threaded port connections with non-hardening pipe thread compound. Take care not to introduce compound
into port orifices.
4. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the equipment connected to the pump. Use larger capacity cylinders if necessary.
