Note

: 2-stage pump provides fast, no load approach speed and then shifts into slow actuation

as the load is applied.

• Ram double acting (Power Team RD10013)

• 13-1/8" stroke

• 103.1 tons of push at 10,000 PSI

• 44.2 tons of pull at 10,000 PSI

Preparations:

Filling the Reservoir Before removing the filler plug, clean the area around the plug.

The pump is a precision built unit, so special care should be taken to preclude

foreign particles from entering the reservoir. With cylinder fully retracted, fill the

tank 1" to 1½" from the top. Replace the filler plug.
Approved Hydraulic Power Team 9637 Mobile DTE25 or equivalent.
Oils

Available Motor 220-440, etc. Also 1½ H.P. and 3 H.P.
Variations

Reservoir 5 gallon or 10 gallon reservoir available
Variations

The standard 1-1/8 H.P., 12,000 RPM, 115 volt motor and the 2½ gallon reservoir has proven highly successful.
Dixon feels it is the best design, and variations are not desirable.

Operating Controls

• F-N-R (Forward-Neutral-Reverse) directional control lever.

The F-N-R lever (shown in the neutral position) controls the

direction of the ram cylinder. To extend the cylinder (forward) in the
direction of the die bed, move the lever toward the pump motor then
activate the pump. To retract the cylinder (reverse), move the lever
away from the pump motor then activate the pump.

• On-Off-Remote switch, 0 - 10,000 psi pressure gage and hand held
remote.

When the toggle switch is placed in the “On” position, the pump

motor will run until the toggle switch is placed in the “Off” position.
When the toggle switch is placed in the “Remote” position, the hand
held remote is activated. To run the pump motor, depress and hold
the switch on the remote. To stop the motor, release the switch on
the remote. For practical purposes, leave the toggle switch in the
“Remote” position. All future references to activating the pump motor
should be understood that the hand held remote is being used.

Caution!

Never dead-end the cylinder (fully extended or fully retracted) and leave it with pressure showing on
the gage. If the cylinder is dead-ended, always move the lever to the neutral position after stopping the pump.
Failure to do so can shorten the life of the cylinder seals.
