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. It is recommended that, prior to
each use, an 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 pump that appears to be damaged
in any way, is worn, leaking or operates abnormally shall be
removed from service immediately until such time as repairs
can be made. Any pump that has been or suspected to have
been subject to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly,
causing the system pressure to exceed 12,000 PSI), shall
be removed from service immediately 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.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulics Air Hydraulic Pumps are engineered to meet
most Industrial Standards for Performance and Safety. Its
unique hydraulic circuit allows quick displacement of hydraulic
uid under no load conditions and easy pumping in loaded
conditions. These air actuated pumps supply compressed
hydraulic uid to compatible applications i.e. rams, presses,
spreaders, compactors and crimping machines, anywhere
that 12,000 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 or herself and others in the work area.
!
WARNING:
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: 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
• 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 hydraulic
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.
• 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 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.
