SAFETY and GENERAL INFORMATION
Save these instructions. For your safety, read and understand
the information contained within. The owner and operator shall
have an understanding of this product and safe operating
procedures before attempting to use this product. Instructions
and safety information shall be conveyed in the operator’s
native language before use of this product is authorized. Make
certain that the operator thoroughly understands the inherent
dangers associated with the use and misuse of the product. If
any doubt exists as to the safe and proper use of this product
as outlined in this factory authorized manual, remove from
service immediately.
Inspect before each use. Do not use if leaking, broken, bent,
cracked or otherwise damaged parts are noted. If the cylinder
has been or suspected to have been subjected to a shock load
(a load dropped suddenly, unexpectedly upon it), discontinue
use until checked out by a BVA Hydraulics authorized service
center. Owners and operators of this equipment shall be aware
that the use and subsequent repair of this equipment may
require special training and knowledge. It is recommended that
an annual inspection be done by qualied personnel and that
any missing or damaged parts, decals, warning/safety labels or
signs be replaced with BVA Hydraulics authorized replacement
parts only. Any cylinder that appears to be damaged in any way,
is worn or operates abnormally shall be removed from service
immediately until such time as repairs can be made.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulics Single Acting Cylinder is designed for rated
capacity pushing, spreading and pressing jobs. A wide variety
of applications exist for this category of product. Special skill,
knowledge and training may be required for a specic task
and the product may not be suitable for all the jobs described
above. Unsuitable applications would include applications that
call for a device to move, level or support persons, animals,
hazardous materials, mobile homes/dwellings in general,
mirrors and/or plate glass, and/or to connect/secure hatches,
components, etc. between bulkheads. The user ultimately
must make the decision regarding suitability of the product
for any given task and therefore accept responsibility for that
decision. Immediately after lifting, loads must be supported
by appropriate mechanical means.
WARNING: NEVER use hydraulic cylinder as a support
!
device!
WARNING: Always check connections before using.
!
Alteration of these products is strictly prohibited. Use
only those adapters and attachments provided and
approved by the manufacturer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury and/
!
or property damage, ensure that the rated working
pressure of each pressurized attachment be equal to or
greater than the rated working pressure developed by
the hydraulic pump.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Use a high-grade pipe sealant to seal all hydraulic
connections.
1.
Remove the dust cover and rubber plug from coupler
2. Inspect all threads and ttings for signs of wear or damage,
and replace as needed. Clean all threads and ttings.
3. Connect hydraulic hose from hydraulic pump to the cylinder
coupler. Ensure that there are no uid leaks.
4. Install in-line pressure gauge.
5. Check for leaks in system and have repaired by qualied
personnel.
NOTICE: Using cylinder attachments or extensions reduces
cylinder capacity by at least 50% per attachment/extension.
.
! WARNING
WARNING: Before operating pump, tighten all hose
!
connections. Do not overtighten. Connections should
only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening
can cause premature thread failure or high pressure
ttings to burst.
WARNING: Depressurize cylinder before making
!
repairs.
Tips for hydraulic hoses & uid 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.

This device is NOT suitable for use as support
device! As the load is lifted, use blocking and
cribbing to guard against a falling load.

during operation.
• Do not exceed rated capacity of the cylinder or
•
Do not connect a cylinder to a pump with higher
pressure rating.
• Do not subject cylinder to a shock loads, a load
dropped suddenly, causing the system pressure to
exceed rated pressure.
The system operating pressure must not exceed
measuring instrument to monitor the operating pressure. Burst
hazard exists if hose, connection or any other component in
the system exceed its rated pressure.
Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Do not allow
hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or bend so
tightly that uid ow within the hose is blocked or
reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear.
Failure to comply with the following warnings
result in personal injury as well as

Do not pull, position or move cylinder setup by

Cylinder must be on a stable base which is able
to support the load while pushing or lifting. Use
shims, friction material or constrains to prevent
slippage of the base or load. Ensure cylinder is fully engaged
into/onto adapters, extension accessories.
Center load on cylinder. Distribute load evenly
across the entire saddle surface. Do not
off-center loads on a cylinder. The load can tip
or the cylinder can “kick out”.
Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder,
refer repairs to qualied, authorized personal.
Contact BVA Hydraulics tech service for authorized
service center.
Do not subject hose to sharp objects or
heavy impact.
Hose material or seals must not come in
contact with corrosive materials such as
battery acid, creosote-impregnated objects
and wet paint. Never paint a coupler or hose.
• No alteration shall be made to the cylinder.
• Use only factory authorized fasteners,
accessories and hydraulic uid.
