INTRODUCTION

Heavy gauge snap-together pipework and cast snap-together attachments compatible with most leading makes of snap-together equipment. Supplied with 10 Tonne hand-operated pump, hose, hydraulic ram and storage case.

CONTENTS

ASSEMBLY

1. Unscrew the end plugs from the hose and hydraulic ram. Retain end caps for use when storing the kit.
2. Screw the hose into the hydraulic ram. Ensure the hose is secure but DO NOT overtighten.
3. Fit the pump handle to the pump unit – DO NOT overtighten.
4. To provide maximum versatility a combination of pump accessories may be used.
5. To use the flat base plate (item 11) and snap tubing sections (items 4-7) with the hydraulic ram, see Fig.3.

OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure you have read and understand Section 1 Safety Instructions.

1. When using to repair vehicle damage an assessment must be made of all vehicle parts and bodywork distortions. Measurements should be taken and compared with original manufacturer’s specifications. Stored energy (memory) in the areas of damage could result in sudden stored energy release, causing body shell movements other than the predicted hydraulic ram stroke.
   • DO NOT commence operation of ram until you are sure of total deflection requirement.
2. Comprehensive planning for all operations is essential. Ensure the task undertaken falls within the capacity of the pump and any attachment.
3. The pump may be used in any position from horizontal to vertical. When not horizontal ensure the hose end of the pump is downwards.
4. To use the pump, close valve (Fig.1) by turning the knob clockwise and open the breather valve (which must be closed when not in use), pump the handle up and down to apply the load.
5. To release pump pressure, turn knob anti-clockwise.

ATTACHMENTS

1. Hydraulic Ram- For use in large spaces and where a large amount of force is required. Comes with several attachments.
2. Snap Tubing- Plug into the hydraulic ram in different combinations in order to obtain the required length.
3. Serrated Saddle and Wedge Head- Typically used on the pushing end in frame repair. Can be attached to either the hydraulic ram or extension bars.
4. Flat Base- This is used on the stationary side to spread the force of the hydraulic ram. Can be attached to either the hydraulic ram or extension bars.
5. Male Connector- This is used with the extension bars and other attachments that may be connected to the hydraulic ram.
   NOTE: When positioning the hydraulic ram, it is necessary wherever possible to use a smaller attachment on the side that is to be bent or shaped. To further reduce the danger of the stationary side being damaged, place a block of wood or dense hard rubber behind the flat base plate (item 11) in order to cushion the stationary side and spread the pressure exerted by the hydraulic ram.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair of the hydraulic system.

PUMP OIL LEVEL
Release pressure and disconnect the ram from the pump.
Hold pump in an upright position.
Ensure the hydraulic ram is fully retracted. Remove the oil reservoir plug (opposite valve) and top up using Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part Nos HJO500MLS/HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid. After filling, purge the system in order to eliminate any air. Open the release valve (Fig.1.) and pump the handle several times (suggested 20 times). Close the valve and replace the oil reservoir plug. Should the system fail at any time, repeating this process may resolve the problem.

GENERAL
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, loose parts, or any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, hose or accessories. Suspect items to be removed from service and repaired or replaced. Repair or replace with genuine parts only. Unauthorised repairs or parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
