SAFETY EXPLANATIONS
Two safety symbols are used to identify any action or lack of action that can cause personal injury.
Your reading and understanding of these safety symbols is very important.
- Danger is used only when your action or lack of action will cause serious
human injury or death.
WARNING - Warning is used to describe any action or lack of action where a serious injury can
occur.
IMPORTANT - Important is used when action or lack of action can cause equipment failure, either
immediate or over a long period of time.
Pictogram Denition
Do not remove this component. For service only. Pressure must be released.
WARNING : It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand the following safety
statements,
• Only qualied operators should install, operate, adjust, maintain, clean, repair, or transport this
equipment or machinery.
• These components are designed for general use in normal environments. These components are not
specically designed for lifting and moving people, agri-food machinery, certain types of mobile
machinery or special work environments such as: explosive, ammable or corrosive. Only the user
can decide the suitability of this equipment or machinery in these conditions or extreme
environments. Power Team will supply information necessary to help make these decisions.
• Do not use equipment if damaged, altered, or in poor condition.
• All safety decals must be replaced when unreadable.
These instructions are intended for end-user application needs. Most problems with new equipment are
caused by improper operation or installation. Detailed service repair instructions or parts lists can be obtained
from your nearest Power Team facility.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING : To help prevent personal injury,
• Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools. Do not overtight-
en. Connections need only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening may cause premature thread
failure or high pressure ttings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and
shift the control valve twice to release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking hose under pressure
with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic uid could cause serious injury.
• Do not subject the hose to any potential hazard such as re, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, heavy im-
pact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that the uid ow within the hose is blocked
or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear because any of these conditions can damage the hose and
result in personal injury.
• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress may damage the hose and ttings which could
cause personal injury.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic uid used. Hoses also must not come
in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Consult the man-
ufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials may
result in personal injury.
• All components in the hydraulic system must match the maximum pressure rating of the pump.
Pump
• Do not exceed the PSI rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with internal high pressure relief valve.
Creating pressure beyond rated capacities may result in personal injury.
• Before adding hydraulic uid, retract the system to prevent overlling the pump reservoir. An overll may
cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted. Only connect,
or disconnect fully retracted cylinders to/from the pump.
• The load must be under operator control at all times.
• Do not connect pump to hydraulic system powered by another pump.
Cylinder
• Do not exceed rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure may result in personal injury.
• Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder. The load may tip and cause personal
injury.
• Stay clear of lifted loads and keep others away.
• Extensions are not recommended for lifting applications.

SET-UP
Hydraulic Connections
IMPORTANT: The P59L-1500 series hand pump uses a compact coned-and-threaded connection for attaching
hydraulic ttings. Follow the tting manufacturer’s specications and recommended torque values when making
connections using these types of ttings.
1. Clean all areas around the uid ports of the pump and cylinder. Clean all hose ends, couplers, and union
ends. Remove thread protectors from the hydraulic uid outlets, and connect the hose
assembly. Couple hose to cylinder, making sure couplers are fully engaged.
2. The use of a hydraulic pressure or tonnage gauge (included on P59L-1500G) is strongly recommended.
Remove the plug from the gauge port of the pump and install the gauge according to the manufacturer’s
specications and recommended torque values.
WARNING : To help prevent personal injury,
• The gauge must have the same pressure rating as the pump and cylinder. Personal injury can result if the
wrong gauge is used.
• Release hydraulic pressure BEFORE removing or tightening hose couplings.
OPERATION
The P59L-1500 hand pump can be operated in a horizontal position or in a vertical position with the head of
the pump pointing downward.
IMPORTANT: Figure 1 illustrates the
normal drop of handle effort experienced
when two-stage pumps shift from low
pressure stage to high pressure stage.
Two-way Valve
Pumps with a two-way valve are for use with
single-acting cylinders.
1. To extend the cylinder, turn the valve knob
clockwise to a closed (seated) position.
Note: Hand tight only! Work the pump
handle up and down to build pressure.
2. To release pressure, open the valve slowly
by turning the knob counterclockwise to control the load.
WARNING : The operator should always release the pressure slowly.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Any repair or servicing that requires dismantling the pump must be performed in a dirt-free
environment by a qualied technician.
Lubrication
Apply lubricant regularly to all pivot and rubbing points.
Use a good grade of No. 10 motor oil or grease. Do not use dry lubricants.
Bleeding Air From the System
Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during the initial set-up or after prolonged use, causing the cylinder
to respond slowly or in an unstable manner.
To remove the air:
1. Position the cylinder at a lower level than the pump, and turn the cylinder rod end down.
2. Extend and retract the cylinder several times without putting a load on the system. Air will be released into
the pump reservoir. Follow the uid level instructions for your reservoir type to release the air from the
reservoir and top off the uid supply.
Bleeding Air From The Pump
When the pump is rst put into use, or after relling the pump’s reservoir it may be necessary to bleed any
trapped air from the pump. If this is not done the pump will not function properly (will not build pressure or has
very spongy operation).
To remove the air:
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (CCW) (open position) and operate the pump handle up
and down approximately twenty times.
2. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise (CW) (closed position) to its full stop position.
Note: Hand tight only!
3. The pump should now be bled of air and ready to use.

Hydraulic Fluid Level
WARNING : Cylinder(s) connected to the pump must be fully retracted before checking the uid
level.
Release all system pressure before breaking any hydraulic connection in the system.
Check the hydraulic uid level in the reservoir periodically. Use a funnel with a lter to add hydraulic uid if
needed.
P59L-1500 (Reservoir Type B) :
Remove the ller cap. The uid level should come to
the bottom edge of the ller hole when the pump is level
and resting horizontally on its base and the cylinders are
retracted (see Figure 2).
Draining And Flushing The Reservoir
Drain, clean and replenish the reservoir with high-grade,
approved Power Team hydraulic uid yearly or more
often if necessary. The frequency of uid change will
depend upon the general working conditions, severity of
use and overall cleanliness and care given the pump.
IMPORTANT: Clean the exterior of the pump rst.
After draining and ushing the reservoir, drain and
clean the other hydraulic system components
(hoses, cylinders, etc.) before connecting them to
the pump again. This will help prevent contaminated
uid from entering the pump.
1. Remove the ller cap. Drain the hydraulic uid
through ller hole.
2. Remove the nut from the tie rod. Separate the res-
ervoir from the pump body. Clean the reservoir and
lter.
• IMPORTANT: Removing the lter from the pump
assembly could result in its breakage. Attempt to
clean it as well as possible with it installed.
3. Reassemble and ll the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic uid. Replace the ller cap.
