PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulic Hand Pumps are engineered to meet most industrial standards for performance and safety. These pumps, P1201, P2301,
P2301M, and P4301 have a unique two-stage hydraulic circuit which allows quick displacement of hydraulic uid under no load conditions
and easy pumping in loaded conditions. These lever operated pumps supply compressed hydraulic uid to compatible applications i.e.
rams, presses, spreaders, compactors and crimping machines, anywhere that 10,000 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
10,000 PSI. Make sure that all hydraulic equipment such as
cylinders, hoses, couplers and etc. used with this pump are
rated at 10,000 PSI operating pressure or more.
1. Prepare the pump for use:
A) For models P1201 & P1201S:
Remove shipping plug and replace with a vent plug. Pull vent
plug stem upward before use, press down when moving or
storing the pump. (refer to Figure 4)
B) For models P2301, P2301M & P4301:
Turn the top cap of the vent screw counter-clockwise to open
the vent. Turn the cap clockwise to close the vent screw when
moving or storing. (refer to Figure 5)
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 3/8” 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.
For model P2301M:
The pump comes with a 4-way valve to use with double acting
cylinder. Connect two hoses: connect one hose from the
pressure port of the pump to the pressure port of the cylinder;
connect the other hose from the retract port of the pump to the
retract port of the cylinder.
If using on single acting cylinder, the valve needs to be
changed to 3-way valve. Consult with BVA Technical Service
888-332-6419
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.

Remove shipping plug and replace with air vent plug
(included) before initial use.
Pull stem upward before use, press down when moving
or storing pump.

Turn the top cap counter-clockwise to open the vent
before use.

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 6.
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. For models P1201, P1201S, P2301 & P4301:
A. Close release valve by turning it clockwise. Finger tight
ONLY. Using tools on release valve can damage it and
cause the pump to malfunction.
B. Pump handle until desired pressure, load or position is
reached.
C. Pressure will maintain until the release valve is opened.
D. To retract application, turn the release valve knob slowly
counterclockwise (never more that 2 full turns).
5. For model P2301M:
Use the control valve lever to control the direction of hydraulic
oilow,refertoFigure7a.PumpHandleuntildesirepressure,
load or position is reached.
WARNING: Operate double-acting cylinder only when
both hoses are connected to the pump. If on coupler is left
unconnected, high pressure will build behind the coupler
which could cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.
NOTICE: To use with 3-way setting show in Figure 4b such as
single acting cylinders, please have an authorized service center
changes the valve to 3-way valve. Consult BVA Hydraulics
Technical Service 888-332-6419.
6. Excludes model P1201S:
Under no load or 1st stage condition, the pump operates in
highowforrapidadvance.Whenload iscontacted,thepump
will automatically shift to the 2nd stage for building pressure.
Whenpumppressurereachesapproximately200psi,youmust
momentarily stop pumping and raise the handle to shift to the high
pressure stage. After the pump shifts, pumping takes less effort.
NOTICE: operate pump handle at slower speed during the high
ow 1st stage to ensure the pump delivers maximum oil volume.

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plug/screwlocatedontopofthereservoir.
3. Useasmallfunneltollreservoirtowithin1/4”(6mm)ofthe
opening.
4. Wipeupanyspilleduidandreinstalltheventedoilllerplug/
screw.
6
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.
