Every 6 months check battery condition
This photo illustrates the adjustment location of
the hydraulic pump pressure to the valve. The
gauge should read 2800-3000 PSI when the ram is
fully extended. To increase pressure, rst remove
large Hex nut. Then using a Hex Allen wrench-
turn adjustment screw to the right 1/4 turn at a
time & recheck until pressure is 2800-3000 PSI.
Replace oil ler every 6 months. Use TSI P/N
10130E for the replacement element
Check hydraulic oil reservoir level by viewing
the sight glass. Oil level should be approximately
3” -5” from the top.
NOTE: HYDRAULIC FLUID SHOULD BE
DRAINED ANO REFILLED EVERY 6 MONTHS.
USE UNIVERSAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS-
SION FLUID-SAE 20 OR SAE 30
If the valve “kicks out” on the arms return stroke,
the detent will have to be tightened slightly.
Loosen lock nut as shown. Tighten outer nut 1/4

Maintenance
The crushing wedge has space wear bars on both
the upper and lower slides. These wear bars may
need adjusting. Loosen 6 upper and 6 lower cap
screws and slide wear bars up to beam ange.
Leave 1/32 clearance between beam and wear
bar. If wear bars are worn too much, remove bars
and turn side to side. This will give a new side to
guide on. DO NOT ALLOW SLIDE BOLTS TO
LOOSEN. KEEP BOLTS TIGHT TO 100 FT-LBS &
ADJUST SLIDE PLATES IF NECESSARY.
