Power Team facility.

Operating Instructions Form No. 102842
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help prevent personal injury,
• Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with the proper tools. Do not
overtighten. Connections need only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening may cause
premature thread failure or high pressure fittings 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 fluid could cause serious injury.
• Do not subject the hose to any potential hazard such as fire, extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that the fluid flow 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 cause personal
injury.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints.
Consult the manufacturer 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 fluid, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. An overfill
may cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
• 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: Seal all hydraulic connections with a high grade, nonhardening thread sealant. Teflon tape may
also be used to seal hydraulic connections if only one layer of tape is used. Apply the tape carefully, two
threads back, to prevent it from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the pipe end. Any loose
pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of fluid or cause jamming of precision-
fit parts.
1. Clean all areas around the fluid ports of the pump and cylinder. Clean all hose ends, couplers, and union ends.
Remove thread protectors from the hydraulic fluid outlets, and connect the hose assembly. Couple hose to
cylinder.
2. The use of a hydraulic pressure or tonnage gauge (not included) is strongly recommended. Remove the pipe
plug from the gauge port of the valve, thread the gauge into this port and seal as noted above.
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. Sheet No. 2 of 4

OPERATION
The P460 can be operated only in the horizontal position. All other hand pumps can be operated in a horizontal
position or in a vertical position with head pointing downward.
Refer to Table 1 and your pump name plate to determine your style of pump.
IMPORTANT: Figure 1 illustrates
the normal drop of handle effort
experienced when all (except P59)
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 counterclockwise 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 clockwise to control the load.
Four-way Valve
Pumps with a three-position, four-way valve are for use with double-acting cylinders. The hose connection for
extending a cylinder can be made to either port. With the handle in the forward position, the fluid is directed to the top
fluid port. To maintain (hold) pressure, stop the pumping action. When the valve handle is in the center position, fluid
flow is blocked to both ports.
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 qualified 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 fluid level instructions for your reservoir type to release the air from the reservoir and
top off the fluid supply.
Bleeding Air From The Pump
When the pump is first put into use, or after refilling 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 bleed air from the pump, turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (CCW) and operate the pump handle up
and down approximately twenty times. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise (CW) to its full stop position. The
pump should now be bled of air and ready to use.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE -CONTINUED
Hydraulic Fluid Level
WARNING: Cylinder(s) must be fully retracted before checking the fluid level. Release all system
pressure before breaking any hydraulic connection in the system.
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir periodically. Use a funnel with a filter to add hydraulic fluid if needed.
Refer to Table 1 for your reservoir type.
For models with Reservoir Type A: Place the pump in a vertical position with the pump head facing upward.
Unscrew and remove the pump head from the reservoir. The fluid level within the reservoir should come to the
fluid level mark indicated on the reservoir body decal. Before replacing the pump head, visually inspect the o-ring
which seals the pump head/reservoir assembly. Replace this o-ring if it is worn or damaged. Reinstall pump head
to reservoir and tighten securely. Check for leaks.
For models with Reservoir Type B: Remove the filler cap. The
fluid level should come to the bottom edge of the filler hole when
the pump is level and resting horizontally on its base and the
cylinders are retracted (see Figure 2).
For models with Reservoir Type C: Remove the filler cap. The
fluid level should be 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from the filler hole when
the pump is level and resting horizontally on its base and the
cylinders are retracted.
IMPORTANT: The pump sight gauge indicates the presence of
hydraulic fluid only. It does not determine correct fluid level.
For models with Reservoir Type D: Remove the filler cap. The
fluid level should be 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from the cover plate when
the pump is level and resting horizontally on its base and the
cylinders are retracted.
Draining And Flushing The Reservoir
Drain, clean and replenish the reservoir with high-grade, approved Power Team hydraulic fluid yearly or more often if
necessary. The frequency of fluid 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 first. After draining and flushing 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 fluid from entering the pump.
Refer to Table 1 for your reservoir type.
For models with Reservoir Type A:
1. Unthread and separate the pump head from the reservoir. Drain the reservoir of the used hydraulic fluid.
2. Flush out reservoir with a small amount of clean hydraulic fluid. Clean the pump intake filter.
IMPORTANT: Removing the filter from the pump assembly could result in its breakage. Attempt to clean it
as well as possible with it installed.
3. Refill the reservoir and reassemble the pump head to the reservoir. Tighten securely. Check for leaks.
For models with Reservoir Type B & C:
1. Remove the filler cap. Drain the hydraulic fluid through filler hole.
2. Remove the nut from the tie rod. Separate the reservoir from the pump body. Clean the reservoir and filter.
IMPORTANT: Removing the filter from the pump assembly could result in its breakage. Attempt to clean it
as well as possible with it installed.
3. Reassemble and fill the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic fluid. Replace the filler cap.
For models with Reservoir Type D:
1. Remove the ten screws fastening the reservoir cover to the reservoir, and lift the pump and valve assemblies off.
2. Drain all hydraulic fluid and flush reservoir with a small amount of clean hydraulic fluid.
3. Remove the pump assembly filter, rinse it clean, and reassemble.
4. Refill the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic fluid. Place the pump and
valve assembly (with gasket) on the reservoir, and thread the ten screws.
Tighten securely and evenly.
