• Check the oil reservoir level. The oil level should be
approximately 25 mm (1 inch) from the top of the reservoir. If the oil level is low, see Adding Oil.
Examine the condition of the hose, connectors, and
•
O-rings for deterioration, wear, or other damage.
Replace any missing or damaged components.
Check the condition of all electrical cords, plugs, and
•
connectors.
• Listen for unusual noises and observe the operation
of the pump for changes in performance. Either situation may indicate that maintenance or repairs are
necessary.
Periodically
Examine the hydraulic oil for changes in color
•
or viscosity, and the presence of dirt or other
contamination.
Occasionally check oil temperature after pump is
•
operated. The recommended operating temperature is
38 °C to 50 °C (100 °F to 125 °F).

Oil Condition
Visual inspection of the oil may be used as a guide
to determine the need to replace the oil. A change in
appearance, such as darkening or thickening, will indi-
cate a need for replacement. The continued use of oil
after it should be replaced will cause accelerated wear
of system components and will void the warranty.
Adding Oil
Do not use brake uid. Brake uid will ruin the seals.
1. Place control lever in AUTO RELEASE position.
2. Unplug the electrical cord from the power source.
3. Thoroughly clean the area around the ll hole.
4. Remove the vented reservoir plug.
5. Use Greenlee hydraulic uid or an equivalent highgrade light hydraulic oil. See the “Parts List” section
of this manual for Greenlee hydraulic oil specication and Greenlee part number.
Pour the oil through a clean funnel with lter screen.
6.
7. Add oil until oil level is 25 mm (1 inch) from the top
of the reservoir cover.
Cleaning
• Periodically clean the exterior of the pump and
motor. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the ventilation
openings.
Clean the area around the reservoir vent, and be sure
•
the vent breather hole is open.
• Keep all hose connections clean and use protective
caps or plugs when couplers are not in use.
• Do not advance the ram more than 3/4 of its stroke.
Overextending the ram will allow hydraulic uid
to leak out, and the ram may damage the O-rings
when it retracts.
Do not restrict the ram travel to run the pump up
•
to full pressure (commonly called dead heading the
pump).
Failure to observe these precautions can result in
injury or property damage.
Erratic performance may indicate air in the hydraulic
system.
Remove the ram from the accessory (conduit

bender frame, cable cutter, etc.).
2. If possible, position the pump so that it is located
higher than the ram. This will allow air to travel up
the hydraulic hose to the pump reservoir.
Place the ram in a vertical position with the hose

coupler upward.
4. Rotate the control lever counterclockwise (to
MANUAL RELEASE).
Start the pump and, using the ram scale as a refer-
5.
ence, advance the ram 3/4 of its stroke. Stop the
pump. Do not overextend the ram!
6. Rotate the control lever clockwise (to AUTO
RELEASE). The ram will retract, forcing any air out
through the hose, into the pump reservoir, and
through the vented plug.

The following section and Figures describe pertinent
details for renishing ball seats and component
re-assembly and adjustments.
Motor Face Seal
When reassembling the motor, refer to Figure A1 for the
face seal seating dimension. Also, refer to this gure for
setting the vertical position of counterweight (32).
Refer to Figures A2 and A3. Thread in the shaft (62) until
it just touches the check ball (55) (in its spring-loaded
closed position). Slide collar (104) on the shaft. Position
the handle (61) at the location “Position 1,” (Figure A3),
with the other surface of the handle ush with the end of
the shaft. Lock in place. Rotate the handle to “Position
2,” (Figure A3). Slide the collar toward the valve body
until it contacts the 15.9 mm (5/8") diameter portion of
the control shaft. Rotate the lock collar clockwise until it
touches the stop pin, and lock in place.
When locking control handle and lock collar in
place, torque set screws tight to 2.8–3.4 Nm
(25–30inch-pounds).
Refer to Figure A4. Lightly bottom the stem (44) on the
ball (46). Then, back out the stem 3-1/2 turns. Tighten
nut (43). The resulting pressure setting should be
approximately 19.3 bar (280 psi).

Low-Pressure Bypass Check Pressure Adjustment
When properly set to the dimension shown in Figure A5,
the high pressure stage operation of the pump will be
delayed approximately one (1) second after the motor
starts. This delay is created by the closing time of the
pilot-operated valve.
This dimension must be increased if ball seat
Note:
depth is increased by more than .4 mm (1/64 inch).
Increasing the bypass pressure (CW rotation of adjusting screw—increase of set dimension) will shorten delay.
If delay becomes too short, the motor will not restart
when high pressure is held in the line. The motor should
restart with a maximum required off time of 1/2 to 1
second.
Decreasing the bypass pressure (CCW rotation of
adjusting screw) will increase delay. The pilot-operated
valve will not close if pressure is set too low.
Changes in oil temperature (viscosity) will affect the
amount of delay. The pumping delay will increase with
rising oil temperature (thinner oil).
High-Pressure Inlet Check Ball Travel
The amount of allowable ball travel is critical to the
optimum high pressure output (ow rate). Refer to
Figure A5-1. Carefully and accurately measure (depth
“mike”) the “A” dimension (top of pump block to seated
ball) and “B” dimension (top of pump block to head of
plug—at center). Carefully and accurately set the “C”
dimension (overall length of assembled plug and pin) of
a new plug and pin equal to “A” minus “B” minus .305 ±
.050 mm (.012 ± .002 inches).
