iMPOrTanT! Use an approved, high-grade pipe sealant to seal all hydraulic connections.
1. Remove the dust cover and rubber plug from coupler.
2. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed.
3. Clean all threads and fittings.
4. Connect hydraulic hose from hydraulic pump to the cylinder coupler. Ensure that there are no fluid leaks.
5. Install in-line pressure gauge.
6. Check for leaks in system and have repaired by qualified personnel.
Note: The use of cylinder attachments or extensions reduces the cylinder capacity by at least 50% per attachment/
extension.
Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections with proper tools. Do not overtighten.
Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening can cause premature thread
failure or high pressure fittings to burst.
Before repairs are made, depressurize cylinder.
Tips for hydraulic hoses & fluid transmission lines:
• Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line runs do not provide for expansion and contraction due to
pressure and/or temperature changes.
• Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should be supported by brackets or clips.
