WARNING

Please read these instructions carefully. Note the safety instructions and warnings. Use the product correctly and with care for the purpose of which it is intend.Failure to do so may cause damage to proterty and/or serious personal injury. Please keep this instruction manual safe for future use.
Caution: Failure to heed the following precautions may result in loss of load, damage or failure of epuipment, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • Read, understand and follow all safety precautions and instructions induded with the set. If the operator cannot read english, operating instructions and safety precautions must be read anddiscussed in the operator’s native language.
  • The owner of this set is responsible for it being installed and operated according to federal, state, and local safety standards.
  • Safety-related decals must be installed, maintained, and replaced if they become hard to read.
  • Wear eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
  • This equipment is designed for vehicle body / frame applications. Using this equipment in an application for which it is not designed could result in overloading, reduced load capacity, reduced stability, and /or system failure.
  • Do not overload the hydraulic system; creating pressure beyond the rated capacity of the pump and ram may result in personal injury. Overloading is indicated by bowing extension tubes or slipping attachments.
  • Some components in this set do not match the maximum pressure rating If the pump and ram. Use a pressure gauge in the system to monitor hydraulic pressure. Refer to the instructions in this document for typical applications and load capacities.
  • Attachments and extension tubes must be aligned and fully engaged so ram force is straight, avoiding an off center load condition.

PUMP AND RAM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the pump or tamper with the internal high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in personal injury.
  • Completely retract the ram before opening the filler screw on the pump to add hydraulic fluid. An overfill can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when rams are retracted.
  • Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the ram. Creating pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in personal injury.
  • Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a ram. The load may tip and cause personal injury.

HOSE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the correct tools. Do not overtighten; connections need only be secure and leak-free. Overtightening can cause premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their capacities.
  • Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut the pump OFF, and open the control valve to release all pressure. NEVER grasp a leaking, pressurized hose with your hand; the force of escaping hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
  • Do not subject the hose to any potential hazard such as fire, extreme cold or heat, sharp surfaces, or heavy impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that the fluid flow within the hose is blocked or reduced. Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Periodically inspect the hose for wear, because any of these conditions can damage the hose and result in 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 couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive material can result in personal injury.

The pump may be operated in a horizontal position, or in a vertical position with the head pointing down as shown,

  1. Assemble the hose between the pump and ram.
  2. Determine the appropriate attachment for your application; assemble the attachment to the attachment to the ram piston.

Important:

  • The use of extension tubes or off-center attachments greatly reduces the capacity of the hydraulic system. When using extension tubes, put the shortest tubes on the ends of the setup; never put the shortest tubes in the middle of the setup.
  • Some components in this set do not match the maximum pressure rating of the pump and ram. Use a peressure gauge in the system to monitor hydraulic pressure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Turn the pump’s release valve clockwise to a closed position. Important: Hand tighten the valve only; applying too much force to the valve may damage the valve system.

  2. Work the pump handle up and down to send oil through the hose to the ram, causing the piston to extend to the work piece.

  3. Monitor the pressure gauge while completing the application.
    Note: The pump is equipped with an overload valve that will bypass oil back into the pump reservoir in an overload situation (when the system meets maximum pressure). In this case, continued pumping will have no effect on the system If an overload situation commonly occurs, a higher capacity set is needed.

  4. To release pressure, slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise. (The release speed is controlled by how fast the valve is opened.)

When off set attachments are used, the rated capacity of the hydraulic system is reduced 50%. For each extension tube used in the setup, the rated capacity is reduced another 50%. When using two or more extension tubes together, always position the shorlest tube farthest away from the ram.

BLEEDING AIR FOR THE SYSTEM

Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during the initial setup or after prolonged use, causing the ram to respond slowly or in an unstable manner. To remove the air:

  1. Place the ram at a lower level than the pump, with the piston end pointing down.
  2. Extend and retract the ram several times without putting a load on the system. Air will be released into the pump reservoir.
  3. With the ram fully retracted, the pump sitting level, and no pressure in the hydraulic system, remove the pump’s fi ller screw. Fill the reservoir with approved hydraulic fl uid until the fl uid level is within 1 /2 inch (12.7mm) from the top of the reservoir.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

  1. When the body repair kit is not in use, the pump unit should be stored with the release valve open.
  2. To check oil level, place the pump unit in level position. As indicated on the diagram opposite. Tighten the bleeder screw, if the oil is less, you can add the right amount of oil. Your jack was filled at the factory with high grade hydraulic oil only use approved oil.
  3. Must tighten the bleeder screw for release air out before using. Close the bleeder screw when using.
  4. After extensive use, the oil supply should be replaced to ensure longer equipment life. To drain remove the bleeder screw and open release valve. Ensure that no dirt gets into the system. Refill with approved jack oil, as paragraph 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Caution: To prevent personal injury, release pump pressure and disconnect the hose from the pump before making repairs. Repairs must be performed in a dirt-free environment by qualified personnel who are familiar with this equipment. If the following solutions do not remedy the problem, take the product to an authorized service center for repair.
