OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pump may be used horizontally or vertically, with the head facing downwards as shown.
1. Assemble the pipe between the pump and the cylinder.
2. Correctly prepare the load depending on your application. Place the load on the jack.
IMPORTANT
• The use of extension bars or off-centre loads greatly reduces the capacity of the hydraulic system.
When using extension bars, place the shortest ones furthest away. Never place the shortest extension
bars in the middle.
• Some parts within this kit do not have the same rated capacity as the pump and cylinder.
• Always respect the pump’s rated maximum load capacity. Never modify the high pressure reducing
valve. Creating pressure higher than the rated capacity can cause serious personal injury.
• Always fully lower the cylinder before opening the pump’s refill hole to refill the hydraulic fluid.
Overfilling can cause personal injury due to the excess pressure created in the reservoir when the
cylinder is lowered.
• Always respect the cylinder’s rated maximum load capacity.
• Creating pressure higher than the rated capacity can cause serious personal injury.
• Never place an unbalanced or an off-centre load onto the cylinder or the load could fall and cause
personal injury.
• Before using the pump, tighten all of the connections with the correct tools and the connections should all
be airtight.
• Do not overtighten, overtightening can cause premature wearing of the pipe and the parts which are
resistant to high pressure can crack at a pressure lower than their rated capacity.
• In the case of a breakage, explosion or if the pipe must be disconnected, shut off the pump immediately
and open the pressure valve to let out all the built-up pressure.
• Never touch a leaking pressure pipe with your hands, the force of the leaking liquid can cause injury.
• Keep the pipe away from dangerous conditions, such as fire, extreme cold, heat, sharp surfaces,or heavy
shocks.
• Never bend or twist the pipe, the liquid will not be able to circulate properly.
• Never use the pipe to pull or move the equipment attached to it.
• Regularly check that the pipe is in good working order as each of these conditions can damage it and
cause injury.
• The parts and joints used must be compatible with the type of hydraulic fluid used. The pipe must never
come into contact with corrosive substances, items impregnated with creosote, or certain paints. Check
with a King Tony technician before painting the pipe.
• Never paint the connections. The deterioration of the pipe caused by corrosive substances may cause
personal injury.
