To help prevent personal injury
General
• Always wear eye protection whenever operating hydraulic equipment.
• Always wear hearing protection as required. Refer to the sound level (dB[A]) chart.
• Operation, repair, or maintenance of hydraulic equipment should be performed by a
qualified person who understands the proper function of hydraulic equipment per local
directives and standards.
• Hydraulic equipment must be assembled correctly and then checked for proper function
before use. Use hydraulic components of the same hydraulic pressure ratings. An
appropriate hydraulic pressure gauge is recommended to monitor pressure.
• Never place your hands or other body parts near a hydraulic fluid leak. Never use your
hands or other body parts to check for a possible leak. High pressure fluid can be injected
under your skin causing serious injury and/or infection.
• High pressure fluid is present throughout a hydraulic system. Always use caution when
operating, repairing, or maintaining this equipment. Before beginning any work on any
hydraulic system component, stop the equipment, disconnect from its power source, and
relieve all pressure in all parts of the system. Do not tamper with the internal hydraulic relief
valve settings.
• Avoid exposing hydraulic equipment (especially hoses) to extreme high or low
temperatures. Damage to equipment or failure may result and cause loss of control or injury
to the operator.
• Exercise caution to avoid the risk of fire.
• Do not drop any hydraulic system components. Damage to the equipment and/or injury may
result.
• Avoid slipping or falling by cleaning up any oil spills.
• Avoid back injury by always lifting equipment carefully.
• It is strongly recommended to view the Power Team Hydraulic Safety video tape before
using hydraulic equipment.
Electrical Shock or Electrocution
• Any electrical work must be done and tested by a qualied electrician per local directives
and standards.
• Disconnect the pump from the power supply and relieve pressure before removing the motor
case cover or performing maintenance or repair.
• Never use an ungrounded power supply with this unit.
• If the power cord is damaged or wiring is exposed, replace or repair immediately.
• Changing the voltage on this unit is an involved, and if improperly performed, hazardous
procedure. Consult the manufacturer for specic information before attempting any rewiring.
• All PE55 Series pump motors must be wired for clockwise (CW) rotation when viewed from
the lead end (top) of the motor. PE8 Series, PE17 Series, PE30 Series, PR10 Series, and PE46
Series pump motors must be wired for counterclockwise (CCW) rotation when viewed from
the lead end (top) of the motor.
• Check the total amperage draw for the electrical circuit you will be using. (For example: Do
not plug a pump or pumps that may draw 25 amps into a 20 amp fused electrical circuit.)
Safety Precautions Continued
WARNING

© SPX FLOW, Inc. Form No. 102875
Rev. 16 Jun. 02, 2022
• Do not attempt to increase the powerline capacity by replacing a fuse with another fuse of
higher value. Overheating of the powerline and the possibility of a re will result.
• To rewire a motor from one voltage to another or when a ow control valve is changed
between manual and solenoid, consult the electrical schematic in the pump’s parts list.
• Electric pumps should never be exposed to rain or water which could cause personal
electrical hazard.
• Avoid conditions which can cause damage to the power cord such as abrasion, crushing,
sharp cutting edges, or corrosive environment. Damage to the power cord can cause an
electrical hazard.
Gasoline Engine
• Read the instruction manual for the gasoline engine before using for correct operating pro-
cedure.
• Turn o󰀨 the engine and relieve pressure when not in use or when working on any part of the
system.
• Proper ventilation is critical during refueling.
• Do not allow fuel to splash on the engine when refueling.
• Do not add fuel when the engine is running or hot. Sheet No. 2 of 8.
Air Driven Motor
• A quick disconnect must be installed in the air line to the pump.
• Disconnect air supply and relieve pressure when pump is not in use or when breaking any
connection in the hydraulic system.
• Control circuit must comply with local directives and standards.
Hydraulic Hoses And Fluid Transmission Lines
• Avoid straight line tubing connections in short runs. Straight line runs do not provide for
expansion and contraction due to pressure and/or temperature changes. See diagrams in
“Set-up Instructions” section of this form.
• Eliminate stress in the tube lines. Long tubing runs should be supported by brackets or
clips. Tubes through bulkheads must have bulkhead ttings. This makes easy removal pos-
sible and helps support the tubing.
• Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools. Do
not overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtighten-
ing can 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
o󰀨 the pump and release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose
with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic uid could cause serious injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as re, sharp surfaces, extreme heat or
cold, or heavy impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut, 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 possibly result in personal
injury. Never repair with tape.

Rev. 16 Jun. 02, 2022
• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose and possibly
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 ob-
jects and some paints. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials can result in personal
injury. Consult the manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint a coupler.
Pump
• Do not exceed the hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the
internal high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond rated capacities can result in
personal injury.
• Before replenishing the uid level, retract the system to prevent overlling the pump reser-
voir or bladder. An overll can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir or bladder pres-
sure created when the cylinders are retracted.
• Always shut o󰀨 the motor or engine and relieve pressure before breaking any connections in
the system.
• The motor or engine is the major part of the weight of the pump. Always take this into consid-
eration when lifting or moving the pump.
Cylinder
• Do not exceed the rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure can result in personal
injury.
• Do not set poorly balanced or o󰀨-center loads on a cylinder. The load can tip and cause per-
sonal injury.
• Read and understand the cylinder operating instructions and warning decals before using the
cylinder.
A double-acting cylinder or ram must have both hoses and all couplers securely connected to both
ports. If one of the two ports is restricted or becomes disconnected, pressure will build and the cylin-
der, hose or coupler can burst, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Hydraulic Fluids
• Properly dispose of all uids, components, and assemblies at the end of their useful life.
• Hydraulic uid should be compatible with all hydraulic components.

1. Filling The Pump Reservoir or Bladder
NOTE: Most pumps are shipped without hydraulic uid in the reservoir. Hydraulic uid may have been
shipped with the pump in a separate container. If hydraulic uid is needed, use 215 SSU @
100° F (47 cSt @ 38° C) hydraulic uid. Pumps with a bladder are shipped with hydraulic uid
in the bladder.
A� Clean the area around the ller cap to remove all dust and grit. Any dirt or dust in the hydraulic uid can
damage the polished surfaces and precision-t components of this pump.
B� Retract all cylinder(s) to their return position�
C� Remove the ller cap and insert a clean funnel with a lter. Fill the reservoir with hydraulic uid to 1”
(25,4 mm) (PE8, PE17 & PE30 series pumps to 1-1/2” [38, 1 mm]) from the cover plate. PR10 series
pump bladder must be lled completely. Replace the ller cap.
IMPORTANT:
For PR10 series pumps, tighten ller cap 1/2 - 1 turn after O-ring contacts sealing surface.
Overtightening can cause pump damage on bladder equipped pumps.
2. Hydraulic Connections
Remove the thread protectors or dust covers from the hydraulic ports if applicable� Clean the areas around the
uid ports of the pump and cylinder. Inspect all threads and ttings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as
needed� Clean all hose ends, couplers and union ends� Connect all hose assemblies to the pump and cylinder�
Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to seal all hydraulic connections� Tighten securely and leak-
free but do not overtighten�
Hydraulic lines and ttings can act as restrictors as the cylinder or ram retracts. The restricting or slowing of the
uid ow causes back pressure that slows the cylinder’s or ram’s return. Return speed also varies because of
the application, condition of the cylinder or ram, inside diameter of hose or tting, length of the hose, and the
temperature and viscosity of the hydraulic uid.

3. Bleeding The System
After all connections are made, the hydraulic system must be bled of any trapped air� Refer to the diagrams
below�
With no load on the system and the pump vented and positioned higher than the cylinder or ram, cycle the
system several times. Check the reservoir for possible low uid level and ll to proper level with approved,
compatible hydraulic uid as necessary (see “Filling The Pump Reservoir or Bladder” section under Set-up
Instructions)�
IMPORTANT:
Some spring return cylinders or rams have a cavity in the rod which forms an air pocket. This type of
cylinder or ram should be bled when positioned upside down or lying on its side with the port facing
upward.

OPERATION
Neutral (HOLD): When neither solenoid is energized, uid from pump is directed back to tank and uid from
cylinder is checked in the cylinder�
Advance: When solenoid “B” is energized, uid from pump is directed through pressure port to cylinder.
Return: When solenoid “A” is energized, uid from the pump and from the cylinder is directed back to tank.
NOTE: Pressure holds without loss when shifted from cylinder port to the neutral (HOLD) position.

OPERATION
Neutral (HOLD): When both solenoids are de-energized, uid from pump circulates at free ow from the pres-
sure port “P” to tank “T”. Both cylinder ports are blocked.
Solenoid “A” Energized: Pressure to cylinder port “A”. Cylinder port “B” to tank.
Solenoid “B” Energized: Pressure to cylinder port “B”. Cylinder port “A” to tank.
NOTE: Pressure holds without loss when shifted from cylinder port to the neutral (HOLD) position.

Gauge
OPERATION
Position “A” (Air Port “A”): Pressure to Port “A”. Port “B” to tank.
Position “B” (Air Port “B”): Pressure to Port “B”. Port “A” to tank.
NOTE: All ports open to tank during transition between valve positions.
Single-acting, Spring Return Cylinder: Either uid port “A” or “B” must be plugged with a steel plug on the
valve. With port “B” plugged, the sequence of operation is as follows: When solenoid is energized to position
“A”, uid port “A” becomes pressurized. When solenoid is energized to position “B”, uid port “A” becomes the
return port�
Double-acting Cylinders: When operating double-acting cylinders, uid port “A” can be connected to either
the advance or return port of the cylinder and uid port “B” will be connected to the remaining port. Sequence
of operation is as follows: When solenoid is energized to position “A”, port “A” becomes pressurized and ex-
tends the cylinder and uid port “B” becomes the return port. When solenoid “B” is energized, the opposite of
step 1 happens�
The application in Figure 5 represents a typical set-up using a control valve and multiple double-acting cylin-
ders (one double-acting cylinder may be used). Interow will occur.
If a di󰀨erent set-up or cylinder is being considered, contact your nearest Power Team facility.

ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE REGULATING CONTROLS
The pressure regulating valve and pressure switch are shown in Figure 6� The pressure regulating valve can
be adjusted to bypass uid at a given pressure setting while the pump continues to run. The pressure switch
can be adjusted to stop the pump at a given pressure setting. To ensure accuracy and low pressure di󰀨erential
(approx. 300 PSI [21 BAR]) throughout the pressure range (1,000 to 10,000 PSI [70 to 700 BAR] depending on
the pump model), the pressure switch should be used with the pressure regulating valve� The pressure switch
must be set at a pressure lower than the pressure regulating valve to work properly�
1. Adjusting The Pressure Regulating Valve
NOTE: For easy adjustment of the pressure regulating valve, always adjust the pressure by increasing
to the desired pressure setting.
A� Loosen the locknut (B) on the pressure regulating valve, and back the adjusting screw or knob (A) out
a few turns by turning it in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction� This will decrease the setting to a lower
than desired pressure�
B� The pump must be completely connected electrically and hydraulically� Start the pump�
C� Slowly turn the adjusting screw or knob (A) in a clockwise (CW) direction� This gradually increases the
pressure setting� When the desired pressure is reached, lock the adjusting screw (A) in position by
tightening the locknut (B). Shut o󰀨 the pump.
IMPORTANT :
• The pressure range is from 1,000 to 10,000 PSI (70 to 700 BAR) depending on the pump model.
• The pressure switch must be set at a higher pressure than working range to prevent shut down dur-
ing adjustment.

2. Adjusting The Pressure Switch
Generally, the pressure switch should be used with the pressure regulating valve� A pressure switch can be
used alone for operating electrical devices such as motors, solenoids, relays, etc�, which are located else-
where in the circuit� Refer to Figure 7�
Pressure
Switch
Figure 7
A� Loosen the locknut (B) on the pressure switch, and turn adjusting screw (A) in a clockwise (CW) direc-
tion� This increases the pressure setting to a higher than desired pressure�
B� Adjust the pressure regulating valve to the desired pressure setting. Refer to the section titled “Adjust-
ing The Pressure Regulating Valve”.
C� With the pump running and bypassing uid at the desired pressure, slowly turn the pressure switch
adjusting screw (A) in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction, decreasing the pressure switch setting until
the pump motor shuts o󰀨. Then lock the adjusting screw (A) in position by tightening the locknut (B).
D� Release pressure� Run the pump to check the pressure setting and cut-out of the motor� It may be nec-
essary to make a second adjustment�
NOTE : When the pressure switch setting is reached, the motor will shut o󰀨. However, the inertia of the
motor continues to deliver uid for a brief period. The pressure regulating valve bypasses this
surplus hydraulic uid, preventing it from going into the system. As a result, the pressure dif-
ferential can be held to approximately 300 PSI (21 BAR).

WARNING
To help prevent personal injury,
• Disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing maintenance or repair
procedures.
• Repairs and maintenance are to be performed in a dust-free area by a qualied techni-
cian.
1. Checking The Hydraulic Fluid and Filling The Reservoir (Except Bladder Type, See Below)
The hydraulic uid level should be checked after initial set-up and after each ten hours of use.
A� Thoroughly clean the area around the ller cap with a clean cloth to prevent contamination of the hy-
draulic uid.
B� Cylinder(s) must be fully retracted and the power supply disconnected�
C� Remove the ller cap and insert a clean funnel with lter. Fill to proper level as instructed in “Filling The
Pump Reservoir Or Bladder” under Set-up Instructions.
D� Replace ller cap.
E� The frequency of uid changes will depend upon the general working conditions, severity of use, and
over cleanliness and care given the pump� Three hundred hours of use under general shop conditions
is considered a standard change interval. Rain, clean, and rell the reservoir with a high grade hydrau-
lic uid.
