2. Safety Information
Read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.
- Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear appropriate safety glasses, gloves, and protective footwear when operating hydraulic equipment.
- Pressure Hazard: Hydraulic systems operate under extremely high pressure. Never disconnect hoses or fittings while the system is pressurized. Ensure all connections are secure before applying pressure.
- Air Supply: Ensure the air supply is clean, dry, and regulated to the specified input pressure (0.7-1MPa). Exceeding the maximum input air pressure can damage the pump.
- Hydraulic Fluid: Use only recommended hydraulic oil types (HM22/HM32). Avoid skin contact and follow local regulations for disposal.
- Stable Work Area: Operate the pump on a stable, level surface. Ensure the load being lifted or pressed is properly secured and balanced.
- Single-Acting Cylinders: This pump is designed for use with single-acting cylinders only. Do not attempt to use it with double-acting cylinders.
- Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance as described in this manual. Do not modify the pump or its components. Use only genuine replacement parts.

5. Setup
Follow these steps for initial setup of your hydraulic pump:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Place the pump on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area.
- Check Hydraulic Oil Level: Ensure the hydraulic oil reservoir is filled to the appropriate level with HM22 or HM32 hydraulic oil. The oil capacity is approximately 1.6 liters. Refer to the oil filter cap for specific instructions or markings.
- Connect Air Supply: Connect your air compressor hose to the 1/4" NPT air connection port on the pump. Ensure the air supply is regulated to between 0.7-1 MPa (approximately 100-145 PSI).
- Connect Hydraulic Hose: Attach the provided 6.56 ft (2 m) high-pressure hydraulic hose to the 3/8" NPT output oil hole on the pump. Securely connect the other end of the hose to your single-acting hydraulic cylinder or tool. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

6. Operating Instructions
The VEVOR Mophorn Air Hydraulic Pump features a user-friendly foot-actuated design for hands-free operation.
- Initiate Pumping: With the air supply connected and the hydraulic hose attached to your cylinder, press down on the foot pedal to begin pumping hydraulic fluid. The pump will build pressure, extending the cylinder.
- Hold Pressure: To hold the load or maintain pressure, simply release your foot from the pedal. The internal relief valve will maintain the pressure in the system.
- Release Load: To release the load and retract the cylinder, fully depress the foot pedal to its lowest position. This activates the 2-stage release mechanism, allowing for fast or metered ram return.
- Monitor Pressure: Always monitor the pressure gauge (if your hydraulic cylinder or system has one) to ensure you do not exceed the maximum working pressure of 10,000 PSI.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hydraulic pump.
- Check Oil Level: Periodically check the hydraulic oil level. Refill with recommended HM22/HM32 hydraulic oil if necessary.
- Oil Replacement: Replace hydraulic oil annually or as needed, depending on usage. Consult a qualified technician if unsure.
- Cleanliness: Keep the pump clean and free from dirt, dust, and debris. Wipe down the exterior with a clean cloth.
- Inspect Hoses and Fittings: Regularly inspect the hydraulic hose and all fittings for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- Storage: When not in use, store the pump in a clean, dry environment, protected from extreme temperatures and moisture.

8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their potential solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not building pressure | Low hydraulic oil level Insufficient air pressure Air in hydraulic system Loose connections | Check and refill oil Verify air supply is 0.7-1 MPa Bleed air from system Tighten all fittings |
| Oil leakage | Loose fittings Damaged hose or seals | Tighten connections Inspect and replace damaged components |
| Slow operation | Low air pressure Incorrect hydraulic oil viscosity | Increase air pressure to recommended range Ensure correct HM22/HM32 oil is used |
| Foot pedal stuck or stiff | Debris in mechanism Lack of lubrication | Clean pedal area Apply light lubricant to pivot points |
