Two safety symbols are used to identify any action or lack of action that can cause personal injury.
Your reading and understanding of these safety symbols is very important.
- Danger is used only when your action or lack of action will cause serious
human injury or death.
WARNING
- Warning is used to describe any action or lack of action where a serious injury can
occur.
IMPORTANT- Important is used when action or lack of action can cause equipment failure, either
immediate or over a long period of time.
Pictogram Denition
Do not remove this component. For service only. Pressure must be released.
WARNING
: It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand the following safety
statements,
• Only qualied operators should install, operate, adjust, maintain, clean, repair, or transport this
equipment or machinery.
• These components are designed for general use in normal environments. These components are not
specically designed for lifting and moving people, agri-food machinery, certain types of mobile
machinery or special work environments such as: explosive, ammable or corrosive. Only the user
can decide the suitability of this equipment or machinery in these conditions or extreme
environments. Power Team will supply information necessary to help make these decisions.
• Do not use equipment if damaged, altered, or in poor condition.
• All safety decals must be replaced when unreadable.
These instructions are intended for end-user application needs. Most problems with new equipment are
caused by improper operation or installation. Detailed service repair instructions or parts lists can be obtained
from your nearest Power Team facility.
• Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools. Do not overtighten. Connections need only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening may cause premature thread
failure or high pressure ttings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and
shift the control valve twice to release all 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 any potential hazard such as re, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, heavy impact. 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
result in personal injury.
• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress may damage the hose and ttings which could
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 materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Consult the man-
ufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials may
result in personal injury.
• All components in the hydraulic system must match the maximum pressure rating of the pump.
: To help prevent personal injury,
Pump
• Do not exceed the PSI rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with internal high pressure relief valve.
Creating pressure beyond rated capacities may result in personal injury.
• Before adding hydraulic uid, retract the system to prevent overlling the pump reservoir. An overll may
cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted. Only connect,
or disconnect fully retracted cylinders to/from the pump.
• The load must be under operator control at all times.
• Do not connect pump to hydraulic system powered by another pump.
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.
• Stay clear of lifted loads and keep others away.
• Extensions are not recommended for lifting applications.
IMPORTANT: Any repair or servicing that requires dismantling the pump must be performed in a dirt-free
environment by a qualied technician.
Lubrication
Apply lubricant regularly to all pivot and rubbing points.
Use a good grade of No. 10 motor oil or grease. Do not use dry lubricants.
Bleeding Air From the System
Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during the initial set-up or after prolonged use, causing the cylinder
to respond slowly or in an unstable manner.
To remove the air:
1. Position the cylinder at a lower level than the pump, and turn the cylinder rod end down.
2. Extend and retract the cylinder several times without putting a load on the system. Air will be released into
the pump reservoir. Follow the uid level instructions for your reservoir type to release the air from the
reservoir and top off the uid supply.
Bleeding Air From The Pump
When the pump is rst put into use, or after relling the pump’s reservoir it may be necessary to bleed any
trapped air from the pump. If this is not done the pump will not function properly (will not build pressure or has
very spongy operation).
To remove the air:
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (CCW) (open position) and operate the pump handle up
and down approximately twenty times.
2. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise (CW) (closed position) to its full stop position.
Note: Hand tight only!
3. The pump should now be bled of air and ready to use.
Release all system pressure before breaking any hydraulic connection in the system.
Check the hydraulic uid level in the reservoir periodically. Use a funnel with a lter to add hydraulic uid if
needed.
: Cylinder(s) connected to the pump must be fully retracted before checking the uid
level.
P59L-1500 (Reservoir Type B) :
Remove the ller cap. The uid level should come to
the bottom edge of the ller hole when the pump is level
and resting horizontally on its base and the cylinders are
retracted (see Figure 2).
Draining And Flushing The Reservoir
Drain, clean and replenish the reservoir with high-grade,
approved Power Team hydraulic uid yearly or more
often if necessary. The frequency of uid change will
depend upon the general working conditions, severity of
use and overall cleanliness and care given the pump.
IMPORTANT: Clean the exterior of the pump rst.
After draining and ushing the reservoir, drain and
clean the other hydraulic system components
(hoses, cylinders, etc.) before connecting them to
the pump again. This will help prevent contaminated
uid from entering the pump.
1. Remove the ller cap. Drain the hydraulic uid
through ller hole.

LEVEL
2. Remove the nut from the tie rod. Separate the res-
ervoir from the pump body. Clean the reservoir and
lter.
• IMPORTANT: Removing the lter from the pump
assembly could result in its breakage. Attempt to
clean it as well as possible with it installed.
3. Reassemble and ll the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic uid. Replace the ller cap.
