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 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 qualified personnel and that
any missing or damaged parts, decals, warning / safety labels or signs be replaced with factory 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 10,000 PSI), shall be removed from service immediately until
checked by qualified personnel. 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 Gas Engine Pump is engineered to meet most industrial standards for Performance and Safety. These pumps
provide hydraulic power when electricity and air power are not available. The 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 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.

Note: Please refer to gas engine owner's manual for engine information.

!

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.

!

Always check connections before using. Alteration of these products is strictly prohibited. Use only those adapters,
attachments and accessories provided and approved by the manufacturer.

DANGER

There are hazards associated with the use of this equipment which can only be avoided by reading,
understanding and following all the printed materials provided by the manufacturer of the gasoline
engine which drives this hydraulic pump.

! WARNING

• Read, 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. Tie
up lon g hai r, wea r eye and ear
protection, and non slip foot wear.

• 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
system components.

•

To avoid crushing and related injuries:

NEVER work on, under or around

a lifted load before it is 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 output device (cylinder, spreader etc.)

• Do not subject 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.

• ALWAYS
verify load.

• Never attempt to disconnect hydraulic connections under
pressure. Release all line pressure before disconnecting
hoses.

use gauge or other load measuring instrument to

• Do not operate this device in an extreme temperature,
explosive atmosphere or in the presence of conductive
liquids.

• Always inspect hoses and connections for damage prior
to use.

• Ensure the device is placed on a hard, level surface.

• Ensure that application is stable to work on and around.

•

Use only approved accessories and approved hydraulic fluid.

•

Never attach ANY component not authorized by manufacturer.

• 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 pump, 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 WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.
