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.
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 broken, bent, cracked
or otherwise damaged parts are noted. If any component of
this product 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
factory authorized replacement parts only. Any component
of this Maintenance Kit that appears to be damaged in any
way, is worn or operates abnormally shall be removed from
service immediately until such time as it can be repaired/
replaced. Labels and Instruction Manuals are available from
manufacturer.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulics Maintenance Kits are designed to be used
for pushing, spreading, and pressing of vehicle body panels
as well as various component parts and assemblies. A variety
of attachments are included. J50040 is rated at 8,000 PSI;
J50100 is rated at 10,000 PSI. Rams are rated from 4 to 10
tons respectively.
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.
4. Carefully remove the dust caps and plugs from hose coupler
and ram coupler.
5. Connect hose coupler to ram coupler, ensure that there are
no uid leaks.
6. Locate and open release valve. Close release valve
clockwise and pump handle until ram is fully extended,
then open release valve counter-clockwise until ram has
fully retracted.
7. With ram fully retracted and release valve open, place pump
in horizontal position. Open oil ller screw (on reservoir
body, near the back). This will release air trapped within
the reservoir. Retighten the oil ller screw.
8. If using with air actuated units, an air source of at least 7.8
CFM @ 110 PSI is required.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Ensure that attachments are fully engaged before applying
load.
2. Ensure that load is centrally applied to attachment or ram
saddle. Do not load off center.
3. Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by using a
load cell and indicator, or monitor pressure developed in
the ram by using an inline pressure gauge, then calculate
the applied force using the formula:
F = P x A, where F = lbs force, P = pressure in PSI, and A
= effective ram area in in
Ram Area of Model J50040 is: 0.998 in
Ram Area of Model J50100 is: 2.411 in
Refer to Load-Pressure correlation chart on page 10. If
bowing or bending of ram or any attachment occurs during
use, "STOP", release pressure immediately and reconsider
application. Application may not be compatible with product,
a ram kit with a higher capacity may be needed.

Altering this product is strictly prohibited. Use only those
adapters and attachments provided and approved by
the manufacturer.
NOTICE: When extension tubes and/or offset attachments
are used, the rated capacity is always reduced by 50% for
each tube or offset attachment connected. See Parts Section
for identication of “offset” attachments.
BEFORE USE
1. Before using this product, read the owner’s manual
completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards
associated with its use.
2. Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent, broken, leaking
or damaged components are noted.
3. Check to ensure that all parts of your kit are included (see

Do not connect a ram to a pump with higher
pressure rating.
• Do not subject ram to a shock loads, a load
dropped suddenly, causing the system pressure to
exceed rated pressure.
The system operating pressure must not exceed

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.

Basic Setup
The capacity of the maintenance kit can be signicantly affected by the number of attachments used and the type of load
applied. The approximate load capacity of each function setup is illustrated below. When two or more extension tubes are used
together, be sure to position the shortest tube further away from the ram. Note: Not all accessories in the illustrations provided
