100:1. In other words, 100 PSI out of every 1 PSI in – 100 PSI input
air pressure equals 10,000 PSI output pressure.

OPERATION
Operation of the unit is as follows:
1. Connect the hose of the Air/Hydraulic Pump to the hydraulic
coupling on the selected tool.
2. Connect the air supply line to the Air/Hydraulic Pimp. Air
supply should be 5-10 CFM at 100 PSI to obtain proper operating
characteristics. In addition, the air line should be equipped with an
3. Stepping on the PUMP end of the pedal engager the pump,
producing the fo rce necessary to run the tool.
4.
Depressing the RELEASEend of the pump pedal will release the
pressure.

This Air/Hydraulic Pump supplies hydraulic uid pressure to selected tools.
It consists of an in-line air and hydraulic cylinder. The ratio of hydraulic
uid pressure generated compared to supply air pressure is 100:1. In other
words, 100 PSI out of every 1 PSI in - 100 PSI input air pressure equals
10,000 PSI output pressure.
Depressing the RELEASE pedal causes a decrease in pressure and
pressing the PUMP end of the pedal provides uid pressure.
To prevent oil leak during shipment, a metal knob is installed and tightened
to ensure the best sealing function. Loosen it counterclockwise before use.
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
orices. Familiarize yourself with the specications and illustrations in this
operator’s manual. Know your pump, its limitations and how it operates
before attempting to use. Refer to specication chart above for details of
oil port thread size, usable oil capacity, and more.
Operation of unit is as follows:
1. Connect the hose of the Air/Hydraulic Pump to the hydraulic coupling
on the selected tool.
2. Connect the air supply line to the Air/Hydraulic Pump. Air supply should
be 5-10 CFM at the 100 PSI to obtain proper operating characteristics.
In addition, the air line should be equipped with an air line lter.
3. Stepping on the PUMP end of the pedal engages the pump, producing
force necessary to run the tool.
4. Depressing the RELEASE end of the pump pedal will release the
pressure.

5QT. AIR PUMP W/ STEEL RESERVOIR
! WARNING !
This air hydraulic pump
is capable of generating
psi. Make certain the tool
in use is held securely
and is in proper working
condition. Do not continue
to operate the pump once
the work is completed.
Failure to comply with
these instructions could
result in personal injury or
damage to the equipment.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect hosed and connections daily.
Tighten connections as needed.
Use non-hardening pipe thread
compound when servicing connections.
or equivalent.
When not in use or during storage:
Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hoses from application.
Wipe clean, thoroughly.
Store in clean, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes.
Shield pump with a protective cover.
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hose from application.
located on the top plate of reservoir.
Note: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil
Never
glycerin etc.
Use of other than good quality hydraulic oil will void warranty
and damage the pump, hose and application.
Changing Hydraulic Fluid
.evobadednemmocersaliokcajciluardyhytilauqdooghtiwlliF
Lubrication
Use a light machine oil to lubricate pivot points, hinges etc.
Note
: Never operate pump with release valve closed and disconnected from
application. If operated in this condition, the hose and connections become
pressurized. This increases burst hazard. Damage may occur to pump and
its components.
• Inspect hose and connections daily.
• Tighten connections as needed.
• Use non-hardening pipe thread compound when servicing connections.
• Use only good quality hydraulic uid.
• We recommend Mobil DTE13M or equivalent.
• Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hoses from application.
• Wipe clean, thoroughly.
• Store in clean, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes.
• Shield pump with a protective cover.
1. For best results, change uid once a year.
2. Repeat #2 above, then pour used uid into a sealable container.
3. Dispose of uid in accordance with local regulations.
4. Fill with good quality hydraulic jack oil as recommended above.
Reinstall vented oil lter plug.
Use a light machine oil to lubricate pivot points, hinges, etc.
Note: Never operate pump with release valve closed and disconnected
from application. If operated in this condition, the hose and connections
become pressurized. This increases burst hazard. Damage may occur to
pump and its components.
1. Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hose from application.
2. With pump in its upright, horizontal position, remove the oil lter plug
located on the top plate of the reservoir.
3. Use a small funnel to ll the reservoir to within 3/4” (19mm) of the
opening.
4. Wipe up any spilled uid and reinstall the oil lter plug.
Note: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil. Never use brake uid,
transmission uid, turbine oil, motor oil, alcohol, glycerin etc. Use of other
than good quality hydraulic oil will void warranty and damage the pump,
hose and application.
