4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your air hydraulic pump:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Placement: Place the pump on a stable, level surface near your hydraulic application.
3. Hydraulic Connection:
   • Apply PTFE tape to the threads of the quick connector for the oil outlet.
   • Screw the quick connector securely into the NPT 3/8" oil outlet on the pump.
   • Connect your hydraulic hose from the quick connector to your single-acting cylinder or hydraulic tool. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
4. Air Connection:
   • Screw the air intake fitting into the NPT 1/4" air inlet on the pump.
   • Connect your compressed air line to the air intake fitting. Ensure your air compressor can supply 110-145 PSI.
5. Check Hydraulic Fluid Level: The pump comes pre-filled. Verify the hydraulic fluid level in the 2.3L reservoir. If needed, add AW-46 hydraulic oil.
6. Exhaust Valve: Before initial use, open the exhaust valve for approximately 5 seconds to release any trapped air, then close it.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the pump is properly set up and connected, follow these steps for operation:

1. Connect Air Supply: Ensure the air supply is connected and providing the required pressure (110-145 PSI).
2. Activate Pump: To extend the hydraulic cylinder or apply pressure, press and hold the Yellow (UP) button on the remote control. The pump will activate and build hydraulic pressure.
3. Maintain Pressure: Release the Yellow (UP) button to hold the pressure at the current level.
4. Release Pressure: To retract the hydraulic cylinder or release pressure, press and hold the Green (DOWN) button on the remote control.
5. Monitor Operation: Always monitor the hydraulic performance and the application during operation.
6. Shut Down: When finished, release all hydraulic pressure, disconnect the air supply, and store the pump properly.

This pump is ideal for various applications including:

• Automobile Repair
• Frame Straighteners
• Hydraulic Elevating Platforms
• Hydraulic Presses

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your HYDRAULIC PRO Air Hydraulic Pump.

• Hydraulic Fluid Check: Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure it is within the recommended range. Use only AW-46 hydraulic oil for refills.
• Fluid Replacement: Replace hydraulic fluid according to the manufacturer's recommendations or if it appears contaminated.
• Cleanliness: Keep the pump clean and free from dirt, dust, and debris. Wipe down the exterior regularly.
• Connections: Regularly inspect all air and hydraulic connections for leaks or damage. Tighten or replace fittings as necessary.
• Air Filter: If your air supply has an inline filter, ensure it is clean and functioning correctly to prevent contaminants from entering the pump.
• Storage: Store the pump in a dry, protected area when not in use. Ensure all pressure is relieved before storage.
