Description
Universal Motor
The universal motor pump, shown in Figure 1, offers a lightweight
and portable hydraulic pump option. It is capable of vertical or
horizontal operation. Weight can be up to 23 kg (50 lbs).
Universal motor pumps come with a 1.89L (0.5 Gal) capacity
hydraulic reservoir.
The motor is a 0.8 kW (1.04 HP) average, 115/230 VAC (nominal),
50/60 Hz single-phase. Current draw can be up to 14.5 Amps at
115V (15A time delay 250VAC 5x20mm fuse) and 7.2 Amps at
230V (10A time delay 250VAC 5x20mm fuse) and the sound level
is rated at 87-92 dB. Operating temperatures range is -25°C to
+50°C (-13°F to 122°F). (If temperatures are at extremes of the
operating range, it is recommended to use hydraulic uids that are
rated for those temperatures.)
It is recommended that you use the cooling fan option for elevated
ambient temperature or continuous duty.

Safety Precautions
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
• The following procedures must be performed by qualied, trained personnel who
are familiar with this equipment. Operators must read and understand all safety
precautions and operating instructions included with the pump. If the operator cannot
read these instructions, operating instructions and safety precautions must be read
and discussed in the operator's native language.
• These products are designed for general use in normal environments. These products
are not designed for lifting and moving people, agri-food machinery, certain types of
mobile machinery, or in special work environments such as: explosive, ammable, or
corrosive. Only the user can decide the suitability of this product in these conditions
or extreme environments. Hydraulic Technologies will supply information necessary
to help make these decisions. Consult your nearest Hydraulic Technologies facility.
• Safety glasses must be worn at all time by the operator and anyone within sight of
the unit. Additional personal protection equipment may include: face shield, goggles,
gloves, apron, hard hat, safety shoes, and hearing protection.
• The owner of this tool must ensure that safety-related decals are installed, maintained,
and replaced if they become hard to read.
• Shut OFF the motor before opening any connections in the system.
Pump
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
• Do not exceed the hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper
with the internal high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities
can result in personal injury.
• Retract the system before adding uid to prevent overlling the pump reservoir. An
overll can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when tools
• Electrical work must be performed and tested by a qualied electrician per local
directives and standards.
• Disconnect the pump from the power supply and relieve pressure before removing the
motor case cover or performing maintenance or repair.
• Check the total amperage draw for the electrical circuit you will be using. For example:
Do not connect a pump that may draw 25 amps to a 20 amp fused electrical circuit.
• Never use an ungrounded power supply with this unit.
• Changing the voltage is an involved and, if incorrectly performed, hazardous procedure.
Consult the manufacturer for specic information before attempting rewiring.
• Wire pump motors for counterclockwise rotation when viewed from the shaft end of
the motor.
• Do not attempt to increase the power line capacity by replacing a fuse with another
fuse of higher value. Overheating the power line may result in re.
• Exposing electric pumps to rain or water could result in an electrical hazard.
Safety Precautions continued
• Avoid conditions that can cause damage to the power cord, such as abrasion, crushing,
sharp cutting edges, or corrosive environment. Damage to the power cord can cause
an electrical hazard.
Hoses
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
• Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the correct tools. Do
not overtighten. Connections should be only secure and leak-free. Overtightening can
cause premature thread failure or high pressure ttings to split at pressures lower
than their rated capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut
off the pump and shift the control valve twice to release pressure. Never attempt to
grasp a leaking hose under pressure with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic
uid could cause serious injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard, such as re, sharp surfaces, heavy impact,
or extreme heat or cold. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly
that the uid ow within the hose is blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose
for wear, because any of these conditions can damage the hose and possibly result in
personal injury.
• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose and
possibly cause personal injury.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic uid used.
Hoses also must not come in contact with corrosive material such as creosoteimpregnated 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.

Tools
DANGER: To prevent serious personal injury or death,
• This pump is designed for torque wrench applications and should never be used for
lifting.
• Do not exceed rated capacities of the tools. Excess pressure may result in personal
injury.
• Read and understand all safety and warning decals and instructions for devices
attached.
• Inspect each component before each shift or usage to prevent unsafe conditions from
developing.
• Do not use tools if they are damaged, altered or in poor condition.
• The guide cannot cover every hazard or situation so always do the job with SAFETY
FIRST.
IMPORTANT
• Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to seal all hydraulic connections.
PTFE tape can be used if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully (two
threads back) to prevent the tape from being pinched by the coupler and broken off
inside the pipe end. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and
obstruct the ow of uid or cause jamming of precision-t parts.
1. Remove all packing materials from the assembled unit.
2. Inspect the unit upon arrival. The carrier, not the manufacturer, is responsible for any damage
resulting from shipment.
Filling the Pump Reservoir
Pumps are shipped with hydraulic uid in the reservoir. Hydraulic uid may have been shipped in a
separate container, but if hydraulic uid is needed, use only approved Power Team hydraulic uid rated
at 47 cSt @ 38°C (215 SUS @ 100°F). If low temperature requirements are needed, use hydraulic oil
5.1 cSt @ 100°C (451 cSt @ -40°C).
1. See Figure 2. Clean the area around the filler plug to remove
debris. Debris in the hydraulic fluid can damage the polished
surfaces and precision-fit components of this pump.
2. Remove the filler plug and insert a clean funnel with a filter.
CAUTION: Do not ll reservoir with the unit in the horizontal
position. Do not over ll reservoir.
3. Add hydraulic fluid to the bottom edge of the filler plug hole with
the unit in the upright (vertical) position.

System Evaluation
The components of your hydraulic system — pump, hoses, and couplings — all must be:
• Rated for the same maximum operating pressure.
• Correctly connected.
• Compatible with the hydraulic uid used.
A system that does not meet these requirements can fail, possibly resulting in serious injury. If you are
in doubt about the components of your hydraulic system, contact Hydraulic Technologies Technical
Support.
Inspection
Keep a dated and signed inspection record of the equipment. Before each use, the operator or other
designated personnel should visually inspect for the following conditions:
• Excessive wear, bending, damage, or insufcient thread engagement.
• Leaking hydraulic uid.
• Loose bolts, cap screws, or pipe plugs.
• Bent or damaged couplers or port threads.
Periodic cleaning
WARNING: Contamination of the hydraulic uid could cause the valve to malfunction.
Establish a routine to keep the hydraulic system as free from debris as possible.
• Seal unused couplers with dust covers.
• Keep hose connections free of debris.
• Use only Power Team hydraulic fluid. Replace hydraulic fluid as recommended, or sooner if the fluid
becomes contaminated. Never exceed 300 hours of use between fluid changes.
Hydraulic Fluid Level
1. Check the fluid level in the reservoir after each 10 hours of use. The fluid level should be level with
the bottom of the fill hole when all cylinders are retracted and the unit is in the upright (vertical)
position.
2. Drain, flush, and refill the reservoir with an approved Power Team hydraulic fluid after 300 hours of
use. The frequency of fluid changes depends upon general working conditions, severity of use, the
overall cleanliness and care given to the pump. Fluid should be changed more frequently when the
system is not operated regularly indoors.
3. See Figure 12. Remove the filler plug, and install a
clean funnel with a filter.
4. Using a clean funnel with a filter, fill the reservoir
with Power Team hydraulic fluid 47 cSt @
38°C (215 SUS @ 100°F). If low temperature
requirements are needed, use hydraulic Oil 5.1 cSt
@ 100°C (451 cSt @ -40°C). Add hydraulic fluid to
the bottom edge of the filler plug hole with the unit
in the upright (vertical) position.
