OPERATING PROCEDURE
1.0
Remove pump from container and inspect for damage.
1.1
Make necessary connections to advance and retract ports of valve. If hoses are used connect hose half coupler
to one end of each hose remove plastic pipe plugs in ports and thread other end of hose into proper ports. Be
sure all connections are tight.
1.2
Place pump in horizontal position and remove pipe plug (item No. 25) and check oil level. Oil should be visible
at bottom of hole. If necessary fill to bottom of hole with Simplex Hydraulic Oil or equivalent. CAUTION: Do not
over fill or add oil if ram being used with pump is in the raised position. Install breather plug in place of pipe plug
(item No. 25). The breather plug is in bag attached to pump. CAUTION: Failure to install the breather plug can
result in damage to the equipment.
1.3
Connect hose half coupler on end of hose to ram half coupler on ram taking care to assemble hose from
advance port of pump to bottom of ram and hose from retract port of pump to top of ram. Be sure knurled nuts
on couplers are tight. CAUTION: Failure to have couplers tightly connected can result in injury or damage to the
equipment.
1.4
To extend cylinder, move control handle to advance position and pump on handle. CAUTION: Do not attempt to
exceed rated cylinder capacity or plunger stroke.
1.5
To retract cylinder, move control handle to retract position and pump on handle. CAUTION: Do not continue
pumping after cylinder has reached its maximum retracted position.
1.6
