PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

BVA Hydraulic Hand Pumps are engineered to meet most industrial standards for Performance and Safety. Hand Pump model number P350, P1000, P1000AD and P2001 have a unique 2 stage hydraulic circuit, which allows quick displacement of hydraulic fluid under no load conditions and easy pumping in loaded conditions. These lever operated pumps supply compressed hydraulic fluid to compatible applications i.e. rams, presses, spreaders, compactors and crimping machines, anywhere that 10,000 PSI of fluid pressure is needed. Special skill, knowledge and training may be required for a specific 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 and others in the work area.

!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.

!WARNING: Model P601S is operated with a non-vented reservoir. If the reservoir is subjected to high pressure, the casing may rupture. Never attempt to return more oil to the reservoir than it is capable of holding.

			!	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 flames and heat. Hydraulic fluid 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 hydraulic pressure alone to support load.

HYDRAULIC PUMPS

•The user must be a qualified 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.

•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.

•Do not subject the pump and its components to shock loads.

•Use only approved accessories and approved hydraulic fluid.

•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 qualified, 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 fittings 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 fluid can inflict injury.

•Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, 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 fluid flow 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 fluid 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 WELLAS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

NOTICE: Use an approved, high-grade pipe sealant to seal all hydraulic connections

4.Check for leaks in system and have repaired by qualified personnel as needed.

Before repairs are made, depressurize system by opening the release valve counterclockwise, but no more than 2 full turns.

OPERATION

!WARNING: ALWAYS monitor pressure, load or position using suitable equipment. Pressure may be monitored by means of an optional manifold and gauge. Load may be monitored by means of a load cell and digital indicator. Correct application position can only be determined by the operator of the equipment.

1.Connect the pump to suitable application.

2.Ensure the oil level is correct and the system fittings and connections are leak free before operating the pump.

3.Pump may be used in horizontal and vertical position

as illustrated on Figure 9.

4.Close release valve by turning it clockwise. Finger tight ONLY. Using tools on release valve can damage it and cause the pump to malfunction.

5.Pump handle until desired pressure, load or position is reached.

6.Pressure will maintain until the release valve is opened.

7.To retract application, turn the release valve knob slowly counterclockwise (never more than 2 full turns).

!WARNING: NEVER operate pump with release valve closed and disconnected from application. If operated in this condition, the hose and connections become pressurized. This increases burst hazard. Damage may occur to pump and its components.
