Hand-Operated Hydraulic Pump 6
Note In order for the pump to operate, the reservoir end of the pump assembly
must be higher than the output end (or at least the same elevation).
1. Mount the pump. The preferred location is on the base of the load unit.
If you are using the hand pump with a Landmark Load frame, follow the
instructions below to mount the hand pump.
A. Lift the rubber work surface and remove the two screws holding down
the metal work surface of the load frame (A).
B. Stick the rubber tape to the corner of the load frame base to protect the
paint from the hand pump.
C. Put the hand pump on the side of the load frame using the magnets.
Position the pump so the holes in the mounting bracket align with the
holes in the metal work surface.
D. Re-install the screws to clamp the hand pump and metal work surface.
E. Put the rubber work surface back into place.
2. Connect the hydraulics.
The hydraulic source to operate the grips is from a hand-operated hydraulic
pump.The hand pump should be installed on your load frame.
A. Using the provided hydraulic hoses, make connections between the
pressure ports on each grip and the ports on the hand-operated
hydraulic pump.
B. Connect hoses between the pump and the grips. Tighten both of the
hoses at the pump end. At the grip ends, leave the hoses connected, but
loose.
C. With the hoses loose at the grip ends, close the pump’s pressure release
valve and actuate the pump until all air is expelled from the hoses, and
then tighten the hose fittings at the grips.
