SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
Replace shipping plug (red color) with air vent plug (black color) before use. (for model B65425 and B65427 only)
Note: Always check connections before using. Alteration of these products is strictly prohibited. Use only
those adapters and attachments provided and approved by the manufacturer.
Note: Always secure threaded port connections with non-hardening pipe thread compound. Tighten securely to prevent
accidental removal of components while in use. Take care not to introduce compound into port orifices. Familiarize
yourself with the specifications and illustrations in this owners manual. Know your pump, its limitations and how it
operates before attempting to use. Refer to Specification chart on page 2 for details of oil port thread size, usable oil
capacity, and more.
OPERATION
1. Remove plastic cap, connect air nipple to air input port before connecting air hose.
2. connect to suitable air supply, then connect to suitable application.
3. To operate pump, press on the horizontal portion of the foot pedal until desired pressure, load or position is reached.
Always monitor pressure, load or position using suitable equipment. Pressure may be monitored by means of an
optional manifold and gauge. Load may be monitored by means of a load cell and digital indicator. Correct application
position can only be determined by the operator of the equipment.
4. To retract application, simply press the release valve by stepping on the raised, stirrup shaped portion of the foot
pedal.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect hoses and connections daily. Replace damaged components immediately with Porto-Power Blackhawk
