4.6 Venting the Reservoir
To improve oil delivery and increase useable oil
capacity, vent the reservoir by removing the vent
screw from the filler plug before using the pump.
See Figure 4-1.
4.7 Priming the Pump Unit
If the pump unit must be primed, perform the
following procedure:
1.
Depress the release end of the pedal while
holding down the air intake valve with a
flathead screwdriver. The air intake valve is
located directly under the pedal in the area
marked PUMP. This "button" is depressed
simultaneously with the RELEASE area of the
pedal during priming.
2.
Allow the pump to cycle approximately 15
seconds.
3.
Remove the screwdriver and depress the
pump end of the pedal once more.
4.
If the ram extends or pressure builds, the
pump has been sucessfully primed.
5.
If the pump does not respond, repeat the
procedure, repeatedly jogging the air intake
valve while holding the pedal in the
RELEASE position.
4.8 Periodic Cleaning

: Always disconnect air pressure supply
before all maintenance
A routine should be established to keep the pump
as free from dirt as possible.

All unused couplers should be sealed with
thread protectors.
2.
All hose connections must be free of grit and
grime.
3.
Any equipment hooked up to the pump should
also be kept clean.
4.
Use only approved, clean hydraulic oil, such as
OTC 16355 in this unit and change as
recommended (every 300 hours).
