IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
1. Never exceed the maximum load capacity of the ram.
2. Do not over extend the ram, as it is possible to force the plunger out of the top of
the ram.
3. When coupler valves are disconnected always insert dust cap to keep the oil lines
clean.
4. If the load is not centred to the ram plunger, pump carefully. If you have to use
excessive pressure to pump the ram, stop the operation and adjust the set-up so
that the load is more central. This should decrease the effort required.
5. Do not drop any heavy objects onto the hose, and do not allow the hose to kink.
6. Always allow clearance for the hose to avoid damage to the hose and couplers.
7. Keep the equipment away from heat or fire, as this may damage or weaken the
equipment.

OPERATING INS TRU CTIONS
PUMP U NIT
1. Connect the hydraulic ram and pump unit
hose together, ensure you have securely
fastened the couplings before pumping.
2. Firmly close the release valve (A) by
turning it in a clockwise direction. Fig.1.
3. Apply pressure to the pump (B) by
pumping the handle up and down. Fig.1.
4. To release the pressure turn the valve
anti-clockwise.
NOTE: The pump can be used in any
position ie horizontal to vertical.
Always keep the hose end of the
pump unit facing downwards when
positioned vertically. Fig.2.
ATTACHMENT COMBINATIONS
The pump unit can be used with the multi
directional ram. This enables many
attachment combinations, some of which are
shown on page 4.
