GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Ensure that attachments are fully engaged before applying load.
2. Ensure that load is centrally applied to attachment or ram saddle. Do not load off center.
3. Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by using a load cell and indicator or you may monitor pressure
developed in the ram by using an inline pressure gauge, then calculate the applied force using the formula:
F = P x A, where F = lbs force, P = pressure in PSI, and A = effective ram area in in².
RamArea of B65114 is: 0.998 in²
RamArea of B65115 is:2.431 in²
youcanrefer to theLoad-PressureCorrelation chart on page12.
4. If bowing or bending of ram or any attachment occurs during use, "STOP", release pressure immediately and
reconsider application. Application may not be compatible with product, a ram kit with a higher capacity may be
needed.

Hydraulic Hoses and Fluid Transmission Lines
• Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line
runsdonotprovidefor expansionand contractiondue
topressureand/or temperature changes.
• Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should
be supported by brackets or clips. Before operating
the pump, all hose connections must be tightened
withthepropertools.Donotovertighten. Connections
should only be tightened securely and leak-free.
Overtighteningcan cause prematurethread failure or
high pressure fittings to burst.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need
to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump
and release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a
leaking pressurized hose with your hands. The
force of escaping hydraulic fluid can inflict injury.
•Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such
as fire, sharp objects, extreme heat or cold, or
heavyimpact.
•Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut
orbendso tightly that the fluidflowwithin the hose is
blockedorreduced. Periodically inspectthehose for
wear, because any of these conditions can damage
the hose and possibly result in personal injury.
•Donotpull,positionormovesetupby thehose. Doing
socandamagethehose andpossibly causepersonal
injury.
•Hosematerialand couplersealsmust be compatible
with hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not come
in contact with corrosive materials such as battery
acid, creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint.

•Useonly approvedaccessories andapproved
hydraulicfluid.
•Do not exceed the rated capacity of the ram.
•Inspect each ram and coupler before each use to
preventunsafeconditionsfromdeveloping.
•Do not use rams if they are damaged, altered or in
poorcondition.
•Do not use rams with bent or damaged coupler or
damagedthreads.
•Under certain conditions, the use of an extension
with a hydraulic ram may not be advisable and
couldpresenta dangerous condition.
•Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be
created by the load or parts of ram.
•To help prevent material fatigue if the ram is to
be used in a continuous application, the load
should not exceed 85% of the rated capacity.
•Ram must be on a stable base, which is able to
support the load while pushing or lifting.
•Ensure ram is fully engaged into/onto adapters,
extension accessories.
•Tohelpprevent personal injury,useshims, friction

OPERATION
Note: Inspectbeforeeach use forevidence of fluid leaks,damaged
hydraulic fittings, bent or broken attachments and missing parts.
1. Locate and close release valve by turning it clockwise until firmly
closed.(Donot over tighten)
2. Operate by pumping handle. This will send fluid from the pump
reservoir into the high pressure hose assembly and into the ram
assembly.
3.Continuepumping until ramreachesdesired height.
Note: Pump may be used in horizontal and vertical position as
illustrated(See figure 2).
To Release Pressure on work piece:
Slowly, carefully turn the release valve counterclockwise until ram
retracts to desired position. Never turn release valve more than
1/2 full turn. The ram return system is spring loaded, allowing
controlledretractionof the ram.

MAINTENANCE
Important: Useonly good gradehydraulic oil. Werecommend Hein-Werner HW93291.Avoid mixingdifferent types of
fluid and Never use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause failure of
the pump and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
Adding oil
1. With ram fully lowered, set pump unit in its normal, level position. Locate and remove oil filler screw (see Figure 1).
2. Fill until oil is within 1/4" (6 mm) of the hole opening, reinstall oil filler screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and increased system life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1.With ram fullylowered,remove theoilfiller screw fromthe pump reservoiras above.
2. Lay the pump on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Set pump in its level upright position.
4. Fill with good quality hydraulic oil to within 3/8" of the oil filler screw hole opening. Reinstall oil filler screw.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that pump
assembliesmove freely.
Cleaning
Periodicallycheckthe pumppistonand ram forsignsof rustorcorrosion. Clean asneededand wipewithan oily cloth.
Note: Neveruse sandpaperor abrasivematerialonthesesurfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store with the pump piston and ram fully retracted.

How to bleed air from system
1. Bleed air from ram: Place pump at a higher elevation than the hose and ram (refer to figure 4). The objective is to
"float the air bubbles up hill and back to the reservoir where they belong. Close valve and extend ram as fast as
possible. Open valve fully allowing oil and air to return to reservoir. Repeat this procedure two or three times will do
the trick.
2. Bleed air from pump: With ram fully retracted, remove oil filler screw to let pressurized air escape, then reinstall oil
fillerscrew.
How to remove faulty coupler
If ram does not retract, secure load by other means. Open pump release valve to depressurize pump and hose. To
avoidhydraulicoil from spilling, wrapsthegrasping tool withragsor similar padding. Removetheram from
application.Disconnectand replace with new coupler.

Load - Pressure Correlation For Model B65114 & B65115
Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by using a load cell and indicator or you may monitor pressure
developed in the ram by using an inline pressure gauge, then calculate the applied force using the formula:
F = P x A
For model B65114, A = 0.998 in² ;
For model B65115, A = 2.411 in²
Example1
Model B65114 lifting 5,000 lbs will require what
presure?
Pressure = 5,000 lbs y 0.998 in² = 5,010 psi
where F = Force/ Load (lbs);
P = Hydraulic working pressure (psi) and;
A= Rameffectivearea (in²)
Example2
Model B65115 operating at 6,000 psi will generate
whatforce?
Force = 6,000 psi x 2.411 in2= 14,466 lbs
