INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Use an approved, high-grade pipe sealant to seal all
hydraulic connections.
1. Remove the dust cover and rubber plug from coupler .
2. Inspectallthreadsandttingsforsignsofwearordamage,and
replaceasneeded.Cleanallthreadsandttings.
3. Connecthydraulic hose from hydraulic pump to the cylinder
coupler.Ensurethattherearenouidleaks.
4. Installin-linepressuregauge.
5. Check forleaksinsystemand have repaired by qualified
personnel.
NOTICE: The use of cylinder attachments or extensions reduces
the cylinder capacity by at least 50% per attachment/extension.
WARNING: Before operating the pump, tighten all
hose connections with proper tools. Do not overtighten.
Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free.
Overtightening can cause premature thread failure or high
pressure ttings to burst.
WARNING: Before repairs are made, depressurize cylinder.
Tipsforhydraulichoses&uidtransmissionlines:
•Avoidshortrunsofstraightlinetubing.Straightlinerunsdonot
provideforexpansionandcontractionduetopressureand/or
temperature changes.
•Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should be
supportedbybracketsorclips.
 Donotpull,positionormovecylindersetupbythe
 hose. Usecarryinghandleor other means of safe
transport.
 Donothandle pressurized hoses. Never attempt
 tograspaleaking pressurized hose. Ensureto
