PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulic Hand Pumps are engineered to meet most industrial standards for performance and safety. This lever operated
pump will supply compressed hydraulic uid to compatible applications i.e. rams, presses, spreaders, compactors and crimping
machines, anywhere that 7,200 psi of uid pressure is needed. 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 must ultimately make the
decision regarding suitability of the product for any given task and assume the responsibility of safety for himself/ herself and
others in the work area.
Always check connections before using. Alteration of these products is strictly prohibited. Use only those adapters
!
and attachments provided and approved by the manufacturer.
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.

! WARNING
• Study, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with and on this
device before use.
• All WARNING statements must be
carefully observed to help prevent
personal injury.
No alteration shall be made to this
•
device.
• Always wear protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away from
ames and heat. Hydraulic uid can
ignite and burn. Do not operate if
leaks are detected.
•
Crush Hazard. Keep hands and feet
away from loading area. Avoid pinch
points or crush points that can be
created by the load, cylinder, or any
equipment of system.
•
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
NEVER work on, under or around
a lifted load before it is properly
supported by appropriate mechanical
means . Never rely on hydra ulic
pressure alone to support load.
HYDRAULIC PUMPS
•
The user must be a qualied operator familiar with the
correct operation, maintenance, and use of pumps. Lack of
knowledge in any of these areas can lead to personal injury.
• Do not exceed rated capacity of the pump or any equipment
in the system.
• Never attempt to lift a load weighing more than the capacity
of the cylinder.
• Do not subject the pump and its components to shock
loads.
• Burst hazard exists if hose or connection pressure exceeds
rated pressure.
•
Inspect pump, cylinder, hoses and connections before each
use to prevent unsafe conditions from developing. Do not
use if they are damaged, altered or in poor condition. Do
not operate the system with bent or damaged coupler or
damaged threads.
• Never hold or stand directly in line with any hydraulic
connections while pressurizing.
•
Use gauge or other load measuring instrument to verify load.
• Never attempt to disconnect hydraulic connections under
pressure. Release all line pressure before disconnecting
hoses.
•
Use only approved accessories and approved hydraulic uid.
•
Never attach ANY component not authorized by manufacturer.
• Always ensure that the chosen application is stable to work
on and around.
• Do not connect to application which can return more oil to
the reservoir than the pump reservoir can hold.
• Do not connect pump to hydraulic system powered by
another pump.
• This device is not suitable for use as support device! As
the system load is lifted, use blocking and cribbing to guard
against a falling load.
• All personnel must be clear before lowering load or
depressurizing the system.
• Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder, refer repairs
to qualied, authorized personnel.
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. 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 ttings to burst.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to be
disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and release
all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized
hose with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic uid
can inict injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as re,
sharp objects, extreme heat or cold, or heavy impact.
• Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or bend
so tightly that the uid ow within the hose is blocked or
reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear.
• Do not pull, position or move setup by the hose.
•
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with
hydraulic uid used. Hoses also must not come in contact
with corrosive materials such as battery acid, creosoteimpregnated objects and wet paint. Never paint a coupler
or hose.
•
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.
