ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC PUMP
Max. Capacity: 10,000 PSI
Read and carefully follow these instructions before installation and use of this pump. Most problems with new
equipment are caused by improper operation and installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
●
All WARNING statements must be carefully observed to help prevent personal injury.
Hydraulic Hose
●
Before operating this pump, tighten all hose connections using the proper tools. Do not overtighten the
connections. Connections need only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening may cause
premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
●
Should a hydraulic hose ever burst, rupture, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump.
Never attempt to grasp a leaking hose under pressure with your hands. The force of the escaping
hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
●
Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl or bend so tightly that the oil flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for signs of wear because any of these conditions can
damage the hose and may result in personal injury.
●
Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress may damage the hose and cause personal injury.
●
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Consult
the manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive
materials may result in personal injury.
Pump
●
Do not exceed the PSI hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the internal
high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities may result in personal injury.
●
Before replenishing the oil level, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. An overfill
may cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
Cylinder
●
Do not exceed rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure may result in personal injury.
●
Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder. The load may tip and cause personal injury.
Electrical Supply
●
Do not use an ungrounded (two-prong) extension cord.
●
Avoid conditions which could create an electrical hazard.
●
If the power cord is damaged or wiring exposed, replace or repair immediately.

Safety Precautions (Continued)
Electrical Supply
●
Check the voltage rating on the pump motor name plate to be certain the outlet you are using is of the
proper voltage.
●
Correct voltage is required for pump to operate properly.
●
Low voltage may cause the following:
■
motor surging when trying to start; ■motor stalls before maximum pressure is reached.
●
Always check the voltage at the motor with the pump running at full pressure.
●
Never run the motor on long, light gauge extension cords.
■
overheated motor;
■
motor fails to start under load;

To help avoid possible personal injury
WARNING
●
Any electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician.
●
Disconnect the power supply before removing the motor casing cover or performing repairs or
maintenance.
●
Changing the voltage on this unit is an involved, and if improperly performed, hazardous procedure.
Consult the manufacturer for specific information before attempting any rewiring.
Hydraulic Connections
1. Clean all areas around the oil ports of the pump and cylinders.
2. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed.
3. Clean all hose ends, couplers or unions ends.
4. Remove the thread protectors from the hydraulic oil outlets. Connect the hose assembly to the hydraulic oil outlet ,
and couple the hose to the cylinder. IMPORTANT: Seal all external pipe connections with a high quality,
nonhardening pipe thread sealant. PTFE tape can also be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer
of tape is used. Apply the tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent it from being pinched by the coupler and
broken off inside the system. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of oil
or cause jamming of precision-fit parts.
Filling the Reservoir
NOTE: This pump has been shipped without oil in the reservoir. High-grade Power Team hydraulic fluid has
been shipped with the pump in separate containers. If additional oil is required, use only Power Team
hydraulic fluids.
1. Remove the filler cap and insert a funnel with a filter. Using the Power Team hydraulic fluid provided fill the
reservoir to 1" from the fill hole. Remove funnel and replace the filler cap.
PUMP OPERATION
Priming the Pump
When operating the pump for the first time:
1. After filling the pump reservoir and checking that the hose connections are secure, place the valve in the neutral
position, plug the electric motor into a sufficiant power supply and start the pump by switching the toggle to the run
position.
2. Disconnect a hose from the system and route it back to the pump reservoir. Run the pump until a steady flow of oil
is observed free of suspended air bubbles. Reconnect the hose to the system.
3. Cycle the pump several times, extending and retracting the cylinder(s) fully to eliminate air from the system. For
more complete instructions refer to the section section titled "Bleeding Air from the System."
4. Retract the cylinder(s) and check the reservoir oil level. It should be 1" from the filler vent cap. Add Power Team
hydraulic fluid if necessary.
