PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulic Hand Pumps are engineered to meet most industrial standards for performance and safety. This lever operated pump
will supply compressed hydraulic uid to compatible applications i.e. rams, presses, spreaders, compactors and crimping machines,
anywhere that 7,200 psi of uid pressure is needed. Special skill, knowledge and training may be required for a specic task and the
product may not be suitable for all the jobs described above. Unsuitable applications would include applications that call for a device to
move, level or support persons, animals, hazardous materials, mobile homes/dwellings in general, mirrors and/or plate glass, and/or to
connect/secure hatches, components, etc. between bulkheads. The user must ultimately make the decision regarding suitability of the
product for any given task and assume the responsibility of safety for himself/herself and others in the work area.
WARNING: Always check connections before using. Alteration of these products is strictly prohibited. Use only those adapters
and attachments provided and approved by the manufacturer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or property damage, ensure that the rated working pressure of each pressurized
attachment be equal to or greater than the rated working pressure developed by the hydraulic pump.

BEFORE USE
1. Before using this product, read the instruction manual completely
and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its
components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
2. Verify that the product and the application are compatible.
Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent, broken, leaking or
damaged components are noted.
3. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with
BVA Hydraulics Authorized Replacement Parts only (See
Replacement Parts Section). Lubricate as instructed in
Maintenance Section.
4 Ensure method of conrming load is accurate and working
properly.Havegaugeorloadcellaccuracyveriedbyqualied
personnel on a yearly basis.
5. Pumps should be stored where protected from the elements,
abrasive dust, and damage. Pumps can be stored horizontally
or vertically.
SET UP
WARNING: The pump’s maximum working pressure is
7,200 PSI. Make sure that all hydraulic equipment such as
cylinders, hoses, couplers and etc. used with this pump are
rated at 7,200 PSI operating pressure or more.
1. Setthepumponahardatsurface,i.e.aworkbench. Remove
theoilllerscrewfoundonrearendcaptocheckuidlevel.
Correctuidlevelisevenwiththeoilllerscrewhole.
2. Depressurize system by opening release valve counter-
clockwise, but no more than 2 full turns. Then carefully remove
the threaded plug on oil outlet port, and connect 1/4” NPTF
hydraulic connection to oil outlet port, i.e. coupler, gauge
adapter,hydraulichoseetc.Ensurealluidportsandthread
connections are clean before connect.
NOTICE: Always secure threaded connections with non-hardening
pipe thread compound. Take care not to introduce compound into
port orices. Tighten securely to prevent accidental removal of
components while in use.
3. Install a pressure gauge in-line from the pump for better control
and safety purpose.
NOTICE: It is recommended to use BVA ttings, gauge adapter
and guage.
4. Tighten securely to prevent accidental removal of components
while in use.
5. Checkforleaksinsystemandrepairbyqualiedpersonnelas
needed. Depressurize the hydraulic system before servicing.

OPERATION
WARNING: ALWAYS monitor pressure, load or position
using suitable equipment. Pressure may be monitored by
means of an optional manifold and gauge (contact BVA
Hydraulics). 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.
1. Remove the threaded plug, then connect the pump to suitable
application.
2. Ensure the oil level is correct and the system ttings and
connections are leak free before operating the pump.
3. Pump may be used in horizontal and vertical position as
illustrated in Figure 3.
CAUTION: 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
4. Close release valve by turning it clockwise. Finger tight ONLY.
Using tools on release valve can damage it and cause the pump
to malfunction.
5. Pump handle until desired pressure, load or position is reached.
6. Pressure will maintain until the release valve is opened.
7. To retract application, turn the release valve knob slowly
counterclockwise (never more that 2 full turns).

MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect hoses and connections daily. Replace damaged components
immediately with BVA Hydraulics Replacement Parts only.
2. Tighten connections as needed. Use pipe thread sealing
compound when servicing connections.
3. Useonlygoodqualityhydraulicuid.Werecommendusing
premiumhydraulicuid. Neverusebrakeuid,transmission
uid,turbineoil,motoroil,alcohol,glycerineetc.Useofother
than good quality hydraulic oil will void warranty and damage
thepump,hose,andapplication.
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
1. Depressurizeanddisconnecthydraulichosefromapplication.
2. Withpumpinitsupright,horizontalposition,removeventedoil
llerscrewlocatedattherearendcap.
3. Addappropriatehydraulicuiduntillevelwithoilllerhole.
4. Wipeupanyspilleduidandreinstalltheventedoilllerplug/screw.
5
Changing Hydraulic Fluid
For best results, change uid once a year.
1. Remove vented oil ller plug/screw and drain used uid into a
sealable container.
2. Dispose of uid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with a good quality hydraulic jack oil as recommended above.
Reinstall vented oil ller plug/screw.
Lubrication
Use a light machine oil to lubricate pivot points, hinges etc.
Storage
1. When not in use, depressurize and disconnect hoses from
application.
2. Wipe clean, throughly
3. Pump should be stored where protected from the elements,
abrasive dust, and damage. Store in clean, dry environment.
Avoid temperature extremes.
4. Shield pump with a protective cover.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The following information is intended as an aid in determining if problem exists. Pumps should be repaired only by authorized BVA Service
Center. For repair service, contact service center in your area.
Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action
Erratic application action
• Air in the system.
• External leak.
• Internal hydraulic leak.
• Vent the system.
• Tighten all connections.
• Contact service center.
Application does not extend, move
or respond to pressurized uid
• Overload condition.
• Release valve not closed.
• Loose couplers/connections.
• Faulty couplers/connections.
• Pump malfunction.
• Remedy overload condition.
• Ensure release valve closed.
• Tighten couplers/connections.
• Replace couplers/connections.
• Contact service center.
Application responds to pressurized
uid, but system does not maintain
pressure
• Overload condition.
• Release valve not closed.
• Pump or valve malfunction.
• Application/connection leaking.
• Remedy overload condition.
• Ensure release valve closed.
• Contact Service Center.
• Replace application/connection.
Application responds slower than
normal
• Loose connection or coupler.
• Restricted hydraulic line or tting.
• Application/connection leaking.
• Tighten connection or coupler.
• Clean and replace if damaged.
• Replace application/connection.
Application does not return uid to
pump (i.e. cylinder will not retract)
• Malfunctioning coupler, damaged
application.
• Reservoir overlled
• Secure load by other means. Open release
valve, depressurize pump and hose,
remove coupler and/or application, then
renew or replace.
• Secure load by other means. Open release
valve, depressurize pump and hose,
remove application, then drain uid to
proper level.
Poor performance • Fluid level in pump is low. • Ensure proper uid level.
