Val-Tex QS-5000-C
The Val-Tex QS-5000-C is a compact, easy to transport, fast, versatile, heavy
duty lubrication unit that will pump large volumes of stick lube sealant, lube
packs, and Valve Flush.The QS-5000-C is quickly separated into two parts by
removing the cylinder for easy loading and unloading by one person.
Assembly is as simple as inserting the two catch pins to secure the cylinder
clamps to the frame.
The QS-5000-C has the largest stick lube sealant capacity in the valve lubrication industry.The Val-Tex five pound V-stick, four pound P-4 Lube
Pack, and one gallon Valve Flush (VF-GAL) are designed to drastically reduce the frequency of loading.
The QS-5000-C’s four inch pneumatic tires allow the unit to be maneuvered easily by one person.The rugged sealant cap wrench has 16 ounce
graduations to allow the operator to control the amount of material being loaded.The unit comes complete with a 10 foot, 3/8 inch I.D. high
pressure hose, quarter turn shut-off / bleeder valve, 15,000 PSI gauge, Gauge Guard, dual swivels, giant buttonhead coupler, and metal hydraulic
fluid reservoir.The hydraulic pump requires only periodic maintenance and has an internal safety relief valve set at approximately 10,000 PSI to
prevent over-pressuring.

EASIER TO TRANSPORT
SAME LARGE CAPACITY

QS-5000-C Requirements
A minimum of 20 CFM is required to operate the unit. The unit should be run with
100 to 125 PSI input pressure. Exceeding 125 PSI input pressure is not recommended
and could damage the hydraulic pump.
To obtain 10,000 PSI output requires 100 to 125 PSI of input air at 20 CFM.
Moisture separator, oiler, and air line filter (these items are not included) are
recommended on the air supply line to prolong the life of the pump.
If using the Val-Tex #8607 Air Regulator
1. Install 160 psi air gauge (2052L160) in one of the LP ports on the regular.
2. Regulator Specifications:
A. Regulator inlet capacity 3000 psi maximum
B. Output Adjustable 1-160 psi
C. Regulator preset at factory for 100 psi.
One (1) air inlet port is marked HP (High Pressure)
Two (2) air outlet ports are marked LP (Low Pressure)
Before Operating the Pump
1. Remove shipping plug from hydraulic pump and install vent filler cap (20937S)
provided on the opposite end.
2. Remove shipping plug from sealant cap (5001A-1A) and install sealant hose
assembly (5016).

Loading and Operating the QS-5000-C
1. Move pump control lever to "release" position. (as marked on pedal)
2. Disconnect air supply from pump.
3. Close relief valve (319700) on material hose. (|) open (-) close
4. Close body bleed fitting on sealant cap.
5. Attach air supply to quick disconnect (328034) on sealant cap (5001A-1A). Allow
approximately 60 seconds for piston to return to the bottom.
6. Disconnect the air supply from sealant cap.
7. Open the body bleed fitting on the sealant cap. Place a rag under and in front of
the bleeder hole on the body bleed fitting to catch bleeding material. DO NOT
place your hand in front of or stand in front of the bleeder hole. After the material
passes through the bleeder hole, the trapped air pressure will vent. This allows
the sealant cap to be more easily removed.
8. Close the body bleed fitting after the pressure has vented.
9. Using the sealant cap wrench supplied (5020-1-C), remove sealant cap. DO NOT
attempt to remove the allen screw on the side of the sealant cap at any time!!!
10. Determine piston (5001-3) is all the way down. If not, replace sealant cap and
proceed from step 5 above.
11. When less then full capacity is required, use the 16 ounce markings on the sealant
cap wrench (5020-1-C) and activate the Hydraulic Pump (PA6-M-2) until the piston
assembly reaches the proper position. WARNING! Piston Assembly (5001-3) can
be pumped out of the cylinder.
12. Load Val-Tex lube sealant or Valve Flush as required. Remember to remove
cellophane wrapper on sticks or cut the top of the bag open for the P-4 lube packs.
13. Replace sealant cap. Snugly tighten with sealant cap wrench provided. The cap is
securely tightened when you cannot see any threads on the sealant cylinder.
14. Close the relief valve (319700) on material hose. (|) open (-) close
15. Open the body bleed fitting on the sealant cap.
16. Reattach air supply to hydraulic pump (PA6-M-2).

17. Activate pump by moving the pump control lever to "pump" position (as marked on
pedal). Place a rag under and in front of the bleeder hole on the body bleed
fitting to catch bleeding material. * DO NOT place your hand in front of or stand in
front of the bleeder hole. As material passes through the bleeder hole, any
trapped air should vent. Stop the pump when the air is vented.
18. Close the body bleed fitting on the sealant cap.
19. Open the relief valve (319700) on material hose. (|) open (-) close
20. The QS-5000-C is now ready to service your valves.
21. Before removing the coupler from the valve or when the hydraulic pump is not in
use, release the pressure on the hydraulic pump and close relief valve (319700) on
material hose.
22. When the cylinder is empty the pump will begin to stall. Stop the pump. Please
refer to step 1.
* Dispose of any expelled material properly.
Detaching the Lubrication Cylinder
One of the unique features of the QS-5000-C is that you can detach the lubrication
cylinder so one person can load and unload the entire unit. Note: Only perform this
procedure when there is no pressure on the cylinder.
1. Disconnect the female hydraulic quick disconnect from the bottom of the lubrication
cylinder.

2. Pull the two push pins holding each of the two bracket pins in place.
3. Pull both of the bracket pins to disengage the cylinder from the frame.
4. Carefully remove the cylinder. This will now allow you to more easily load or unload
the unit from your vehicle.

Periodic Maintenance For Pump and Cart
1. If automatic air line oiler is not installed, periodically lubricate air line using SAE No.
10 oil.
2. Lubricate wheel bearings using quality wheel bearing grease.
3. Refer to the OTC Form 105001 and 100424 included with your hydraulic pump
(5012) for periodic maintenance requirements on the PA6-2-M.
4. Slowness or difficulty in returning piston assembly (5001-3) to the bottom of the
cylinder indicates the need to change hydraulic fluid and clean filter assembly
(29682) referred to in Form 100424 item 12.
Recommended Storage Procedures
Follow the steps below for proper storage when the QS-5000-C is out of service for an
extended period of time.
1. It is recommended to remove any product from the sealant cylinder.
2. Blow the piston down to the bottom of the sealant cylinder.
3. Coat the inside of the cylinder with a light oil. This should allow the piston to run
smoothly when you take it out of storage. When you are ready to use the unit, make
sure the hydraulic fluid is clean before you operate it. If it is not, change the
hydraulic fluid.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
General Operation
•All WARNING statements must be carefully observed to help prevent personal injury.
•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. Overtightening can 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 release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands. The force of
escaping hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
•Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, sharp surfaces, extreme heat or cold, or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to be altered or kink, twist, curl, crush, cut, 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 possibly result in personal injury.
•Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage hose and possibly 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. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials can result in
personal injury. Never paint the couplers.
•Inspect machine for wear, damage, and correct function before each use. Do not use machinery that is
not in proper working order, but repair or replace it as necessary.
•Replace worn or damaged safety decals.
•Modification of a product requires written Power Team authorization.
•Use only components with the same pressure rating when assembling a system or machine.
Pump
•Do not exceed the hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump data plate or tamper with the internal high
pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond the rated pressure can result in personal injury.
•Before replenishing the fluid level, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. An overfill
can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
Air Supply
•Shut off and disconnect the air supply when the pump is not in use or before breaking any connections in
the system.
PREPARATION & SET-UP
Air Supply Hook-Up
Remove the thread protector from the air inlet of the pump. Select and install the threaded fittings which are
compatible with your air supply fittings. The air supply should be 20 CFM (.57 M3/min.) and 100 PSI (7 BAR) at the
pump to obtain the rated hydraulic pressure. Air pressure should be regulated to a maximum of 140 PSI (9 BAR).
Secure your pump fitting to the air supply. See illustrations on following pages.
WARNING: If improperly used, pressurized equipment can be potentially hazardous. Therefore:
•Hydraulic connections must be securely fastened before building pressure in the system.
•Release all system pressure before loosening any hydraulic connection in the system.
Venting The Reservoir
To improve hydraulic fluid delivery and increase useable hydraulic fluid capacity,
remove shipping plug and install filler/vent cap before using the pump.

Operating Instructions Form No. 105001
Hydraulic Connections
Clean all the areas around the fluid ports of the pump and cylinder. Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or
damage and replace as needed. Clean all hose ends, couplers and union ends. Remove the thread protectors from
the hydraulic fluid outlets. Connect the hose assembly to the hydraulic fluid outlet and couple the hose to the cylinder.
See illustrations below.
IMPORTANT: Seal all external pipe connections with a high-grade, nonhardening thread sealant. Teflon tape
may also be used to seal hydraulic connections, provided 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 system.
Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of fluid or cause jamming of
precision-fit parts.
For Hand/Foot Operated Pumps:
For Manual Valve Operated Pumps:
This pump is equipped with a two position, 3-way/4-way control valve for operating single- or double-acting hydraulic
cylinders and requires attaching the hoses in the following manner:
When using a single-acting cylinder,
attach one end of a hose to port "A" of valve and the end of the hose to the
advance port "C" of the cylinder. Then install a pipe plug in valve port "B." If the hoses are frequently connected and
disconnected, quick couplers should be used to prevent wear and tear on the fittings.
When using a double-acting cylinder,
attach one hose to port "A" of valve and the other end of the hose to the
advance port "C" of cylinder. Attach the second hose to valve port "B" and the other end of the hose to return port "D"
of cylinder.

OPERATION
PICTOGRAM DEFINITIONS
Activating the pump with the pedal end marked with this pictogram,
the flow of fluid is directed out of the reservoir.
Activating the pump with the pedal end marked with this pictogram,
the flow of fluid is directed backto the reservoir.
Priming The Pump Unit
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to prime the pump unit. To accomplish this, perform the following
procedure:
For Hand/Foot Operated Pumps:
1. Press the release end of the pedal while holding down the air intake
valve with a flathead screwdriver. The air intake valve is located directly
under the pedal in the area marked . The valve is depressed
simultaneously with the area of the pedal during priming.
2. Allow the pump to cycle approximately 15 seconds.
3. Remove the screwdriver, and press the end of the pedal once
more.
4. If the cylinder extends or pressure builds, the pump has been
successfully primed. If the pump does not respond, repeat the procedure,
jogging the air intake valve while holding the pedal in the position.
For Manual Valve Operated Pumps:
Disconnect the hose end at the advance port of the cylinder. Direct the hose
end into a suitable container or back into the pump reservoir. Shift the valve
to the ADVANCE position and depress the end of the foot pedal inscribed
with . Allow the pump to cycle until fluid begins to flow freely into the
container or reservoir. Reconnect the hose end to the cylinder advance port.
Shift the valve to the ADVANCE position and reactivate the pump. If the
cylinder extends or builds pressure, the pump has been successfully primed.
If not, refer to the Trouble-shooting Guide of these instructions.
For Remote Controlled Pumps:
Depress the AND buttons on the remote hand control simultaneously and allow the pump to cycle for
approximately fifteen seconds. Release both buttons and then depress the button once more. If the cylinder
extends or pressure builds, the pump has been successfully primed. If the pump does not respond repeat the
procedure. If pump still does not respond, tip pump upside down and repeat procedure.
For Tandem Pumps:
1. Connect the fluid line to the pressure port and keep the return port plugged. Place the other end of the fluid line in
the pump filler hole.
NOTE: If the fluid lines are connected to a remote valve, shift the valve into the
center position and plug both cylinder ports on the valve. This lets fluid circulate
through the valve and back to the pump reservoir; thereby allowing the pump to prime.
2. Attach air line with shut-off valve to the pump.
3. Open the air valve. Pump will begin to reciprocate, and fluid will advance
through the hose or fluid line and return to the pump reservoir. Allow the
pump to cycle approximately 15 seconds.
4. Plug the manifold pressure port, or shift the valve to pressurize the circuit.
If the pump builds pressure, it has been successfully primed.

Pump Operation
For Hand/Foot Operated Pumps:
1. To extend the cylinder, depress the pedal on the end marked .
2. To hold the cylinder in position, release the end of foot pedal marked with to deactivate the pump.
3. To retract the cylinder, depress the pedal on the end marked .
For Remote Controlled Pumps:
1. To extend the cylinder, depress the button on the remote hand control marked .
2. To hold the cylinder in position, release the button.
3. To retract the cylinder, depress the button on the remote hand control marked .
For Manual Valve Operated Pumps:
1. To extend the cylinder, shift the valve handle to the advance position and depress the end of the foot pedal
inscribed with to activate the pump.
2. To hold the cylinder in position, release the end of foot pedal inscribed with to deactivate the pump.
3. To retract the cylinder, shift the valve handle to the retract position and depress the end of the foot pedal inscribed
with to activate the pump.
For Pumps With Air Regulators:
1. Open the air shut-off valve (if so equipped) or connect the air quick coupler (if so equipped).
NOTE: under certain circumstances the pump may need to be primed before operation. Refer to the
method described in the section entitled "Priming the Pump Unit."
2. Slowly turn the air regulator control on unit clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
As air is admitted to the pump unit, it will begin to deliver fluid to the system. Continue to slowly turn the air
regulator control clockwise until gauge reads the maximum hydraulic pressure rating as stated on the pumps data
plate. A maximum hydraulic pressure reading should be obtained if air pressure is approximately 100 PSI (7 BAR).
3. Cycle the system several times by manually shifting the 3-way/4-way valve (if so equipped) or the remote valve (if
so equipped). Set the air regulator to obtain the desired hydraulic pressure. When decreasing pressure, shift the
valve after each adjustment before measuring actual hydraulic pressure.
4. Shut off and disconnect air supply to the pump and shift pump valve (if so equipped) or remote valve (if so
equipped) two times to release all system pressure. Check fluid level with hydraulic system retracted. The pump is
now ready for operation.
NOTE: •The hydraulic pressure is increased or decreased by adjusting the air inlet pressure at the
regulator.
•On two stage pumps, the air pressure regulator that is mounted on the pump controls only the output
from the high pressure stage. The output of the low pressure stage of the pump is determined by the air line
pressure coming from the remote regulator. A remote regulator is required to control the air pressure from the air
line. The independent functioning of the low and high pressure stages of this pump can best be described as
follows. At the minimum air line pressure of 40 PSI (3 BAR), the low pressure stage of the pump will deliver 480
PSI (33 BAR) hydraulic pressure (with the pump regulator turned counterclockwise to prevent air pressure from
activating the high pressure stage of the pump.) At the minimum air line pressure of 40 PSI (3 BAR) the high
pressure stage of the pump will deliver 4,000 PSI (275 BAR) hydraulic pressure (with the pump regulator turned
clockwise to allow air pressure to reach the high pressure stage.) Always remember that the pump regulator must
be turned fully counterclockwise when the pump is used to produce 1,200 PSI (83 BAR) or less.

Operating Instructions Form No. 105001
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: • Any repair or servicing that requires dismantling the pump must be performed in a dirt-free
environment by a qualified technician.
• Dispose of machine and fluids properly.
Lubrication
For Hand/Foot, Manual Valve, and Remote Control Operated Pumps:
If the pump is operated on a continuous duty cycle for extended periods, the manufacturer recommends installing an
automatic air line oiler in the air inlet line as close to the pumping unit as possible. Set the unit to feed approximately
one drop of oil per minute into the system. Use SAE grade oil, 5W to 30W.
For Tandem Pumps:
These models have an integral air pressure regulator, air filter and lubricator. Set the lubricator to feed one drop of oil
per minute to the system. Use SAE grade oil, 5W to 30W. For servicing the air regulator, lubricator and filter system,
see the operating and service instructions provided.
Bleeding Air From The System
During the first moments of operation or after prolonged use, a significant amount of air may accumulate within the
hydraulic system. This entrapped air may cause the cylinder to respond slowly or behave in an unstable manner. To
remove the air, run the system through several cycles (extending and retracting the cylinder) free of any load. The
cylinder must be at lower level than the pump to allow air to be released through the pump reservoir.
Inspecting The Hydraulic Fluid Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir after every 10 hours of use. Drain and replenish the reservoir with Power Team
hydraulic fluid after every 300 hours of use approximately.
For pumps with a 105 cubic inch (1.7 l) reservoir capacity:
The fluid level should be 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from the filler/vent cap with all cylinders retracted.
For pumps with a 2 gallon (7.6 l) reservoir capacity:
The fluid level should be 1-3/4 inch (44.5 mm) from the filler/vent cap with all cylinders retracted.
Draining And Flushing The Reservoir
IMPORTANT: Wipe the pump exterior completely clean before attempting this procedure!
1. Remove the screws that fasten the pump assembly to the reservoir. Remove the pump assembly from the
reservoir. Do not damage the gasket, filter or safety valve.
2. Drain the reservoir of all fluid and refill half full with clean hydraulic fluid. Rinse the filter clean.
3. Place the pump assembly back onto the reservoir, and secure with two of the machine screws assembled in
opposite corners of the housing.
4. Run the unit for several minutes. Use the same method described in the section titled "Priming the Pump Unit."
5. Drain and clean the reservoir once more.
6. Refill the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic fluid and replace the pump assembly (with gasket) on the reservoir
and install the screws. Torque the screws as follows: For 105 cubic inch (1.7 l) reservoirs, torque to 25 to 30 inch
pounds (2.8 to 3.4 N•m); for 2 gallon (7.6 l) reservoirs, torque to 35 to 45 inch pounds (4.0 to 5.0 N•m)
IMPORTANT: Drain and clean the other hydraulic system components (hoses, cylinders, etc.) before
reconnecting them to the pump. This will prevent contaminated fluid from entering the pump again.

Refilling The Reservoir
If additional fluid must be added to the reservoir, use only Power Team hydraulic fluid (215 SSU @ 100° F [38° C]).
Clean the entire area around the filler plug before adding fluid to the reservoir. Remove the filler plug, and insert a
clean funnel with filter. The cylinder must be fully retracted and the air supply disconnected when adding the fluid to
the reservoir.
Periodic Cleaning
IMPORTANT: The greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic pumps is dirt. Keep the pump and attached
equipment clean to prevent foreign matter from entering the system.
A routine should be established to keep the pump as free from dirt as possible. All unused couplers must be sealed
with thread protectors. All hose connections must be free of grit and grime. Any equipment hooked up to the pump
should also be kept clean. Use only Power Team hydraulic fluid in this unit and change as recommended (every 300
hours).
ACCESSORIES
Gauges and accessories may not be included with the pump. However, a hydraulic gauge is strongly recommended
whenever the pump is used!
WARNING: • The gauge must be of the proper rating for the pressure used!
• Use only Power Team approved accessories, hydraulic fluid, and repair parts!
Installing An In-line Air Pressure Gauge
1. Remove the male fitting from the air filter and install a tee adapter, with gauge, between the hose and air filter.
2. Install male fitting into the tee adapter and securely clamp the hose to the male fitting.
Installing An In-line Hydraulic Pressure Gauge
1. Remove the thread protector from the hydraulic outlet port and inspect the threads and fittings for signs of wear.
2. Install a tee adapter, with gauge, between the hose coupling and the pump hydraulic outlet port.
3. Tighten all connections securely! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN HOSE CONNECTIONS.
Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluid
Flame Out 220™ fire-resistant hydraulic fluid is compatible with all Power Team hydraulic equipment. The use of this
fluid does not require the changing of seals in any Power Team pump or cylinder and is available through your local
Power Team distributor.
