2250 SERVICE/MAINTENANCE MANUAL UNDERCARRIAGE
Operating the Pump
See Figure 8-4 for the following procedure.
1. Before using the pump, perform the following.
a. Verify that all fittings are tight and leak free.
b. Verify that the oil is at the proper level.
2. To pressurize the cylinder and extend the cylinder rod,
close the valve by turning it clockwise until finger tight
only. Then pump the handle up and down to build
pressure in the cylinder. The pressure will be maintained
until the valve is opened.
Make short strokes to reduce the amount of force
required to pump the handle at high pressure. Maximum
leverage is obtained in the last five degrees of the
stroke.
3. To depressurize the cylinder, push the handle down fully
and open the valve by turning it counterclockwise.
NOTE: The pump can be operated in any position from
horizontal to vertical as long as the hose end of the
pump is pointing down.
