Assembly Instructions
The 940-PS pump is completely assembled and is
shipped to you as a complete pumping unit. The only
assembly necessary is the connections to the ram at
ports provided in the model purchased.
Operating Instructions
This power pump is designed to operate at 10,000 psi
intermittently. For continuous service, as on production
work, the pressure should not exceed 6,000 psi. (This
limitation is for motor protection only.)
Before operating pump, check the following to assure
proper service:
1. Check for proper power connections and for tightness of hose connections before starting pump.
2. Check hydraulic oil with dipstick. Oil should be
within 1/2" of reservoir top.
3. Start motor and allow pump to idle a few minutes.
This will allow the hydraulic oil to work into the
moving parts and give prime to pump.
For operation of control valves, see pages 7 & 8.
Power Connections
The 940-PS is shipped wired for 115 volt AC operation
unless specifically ordered for 230 volt AC operation.
If 230 volt AC operation is desired and your pump has
not been wired at the factory for 230 volt AC the motor
leads must be rewired in accordance with the wiring
diagram shown.
For your protection, ground unit before using.
The electric motor is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-blade grounding-type
attachment plug to be used with the proper
grounding-type receptacle, in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. The green-colored
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire, which
is attached to the metal frame of the unit inside the
housing and to the longest blade of the attachment
plug cap. A special grounding adapter is supplied
(except in Canada or for use above 150 volts) to
permit using two-wire receptacles until the correct
receptacle is installed. The green grounding wire
extending from the side of the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box, conduit or water
pipe, before plugging in the unit. (If extension
cords are used, they should have sufficient rated
capacity and a properly connected grounding
circuit.)

Servicing Instructions
Filling Oil Reservoir. The oil reservoir must be kept
filled with a good grade of light hydraulic oil—Greenlee
905 0806.8 hydraulic oil or equal in order or the pump to
operate properly.
Never use synthetic fluids or fluids with poor
lubricating qualities, i.e., brake fluids, etc., as
permanent injury to the pump will result.
Eight quarts are required of which 6-1/4 quarts are
usable. A minimum of 1-3/4 quarts must be at the
bottom of the reservoir at all times during operation.
Be sure that your complete operation does not require
more than the usable amount of oil.
To refill or add oil to the reservoir, proceed as follows:
1. Remove vent unit from top of reservoir (B).
2. Add oil to within 1/2" of top of reservoir when ram is
retracted.
3. Install vent unit (B) securely in place.
Flushing System. As long as these pumps are used as
outlined in the operating instructions, long, trouble-free
performance can be expected. To maintain this performance, it is absolutely essential that dirt or other foreign
matter be kept out of the system as this is the most
common cause of hydraulic system failure. Therefore,
when opening up the pump for any reason, such as
making pipe connections, adjusting pressure or any
repair, be sure to exercise extreme care in cleanliness
and to use clean tools and cloths. If, at any time, dirt is
suspected to have found its way into the system, the
entire oil system should be flushed as follows:
1. Drain oil from reservoir.
2. Fill reservoir with any recommended flushing oil or
clean kerosene and operate pump. Work the control
handle back and forth several times during flushing
to wash all foreign particles from the control valve
unit.
Note: Do not operate pump for a very long time as
system is not designed to operate with flushing
oil or kerosene.
3. Drain flushing oil or kerosene from reservoir and
refill with new oil.
Check to see that vent unit is not clogged before
attempting to operate pump.
Draining Oil Reservoir. Unscrew and remove 3/8 inch
pipe plug (60) from side of pump base. Turn pump on its
side to drain all oil from reservoir. Be sure to replace
plug before refilling reservoir with oil.

Motor Maintenance
The 1 hp or 1-1/2 hp motors used on these power
pumps, when in need of repairs, should be repaired by
the manufacturer of the motor or at one of the qualified
GE Service Stations.

The 940-PS Hydraulic Pumps with Control Valves
940-BASIC PS. This pump consists of the basic power
unit without any control valves. It can be adapted very
easily to an SA or TA Model by attaching the type of
valve required.
940-PS. This pump is equipped with a hose connection
unit which permits the connection of 3/8" high pressure
hoses directly to the pump. It can also be adapted very
easily to an SA or TA Model by removing the hose
connection unit and attaching the type of valve required.
See page 8 for Hose Connection Unit 501 6152.0 (C).
940-SA-PS. This pump is equipped with an SA control
valve for operating single-acting rams. It has one 3/8"
NPT outlet port. This model is used when the ram has
spring, manual, or gravity return. The control valve has
two positions, Advance (turn control handle counterclockwise to extreme position), or Return (turn control
handle clockwise to extreme position). See page 8 for
SA Valve 501 5644.6 (D).
940-TA-PS Pump. This pump is equipped with a fourway control valve or operating double-acting rams. This
valve has two 3/8" NPT outlet ports. The lower port is
for the forward (or advance) stroke with a maximum
pressure of 10,000 psi. The upper port is for the return
stroke of the ram at a maximum pressure of 200 psi.
The control handle has three positions: Advance (turn
handle counterclockwise to extreme position), Return
(turn handle clockwise to extreme position). Neutral is in
the middle of these two positions.
This is a positive seat-type valve and therefore positioning of the valve in the advance position must be done
firmly to make the seating effective. If stopping the ram
and holding the ram pressure during the advance
operation is required, snap the starting switch on motor
to OFF. The pressure should then be held for a sustained period. See page 8 for TA valve 501 2106.5 (E).
Note: This valve is designed to return the ram piston
only when there is no load on the ram.
