• Do not connect pump to hydraulic system powered by another pump.
Electric Motor
WARNING:
• Electrical work must be performed and tested by a qualied 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.
• Check the total amperage draw for the electrical circuit you will be using. For example:
Do not connect a pump that may draw 25 amps to a 20 amp fused electrical circuit.
• Never use an ungrounded power supply with this unit.
• Changing the voltage is an involved and, if incorrectly performed, hazardous procedure.
Consult the manufacturer for specic information before attempting rewiring.
• Wire pump motors for counterclockwise rotation when viewed from the shaft end of
the motor.
• Do not attempt to increase the power line capacity by replacing a fuse with another
fuse of higher value. Overheating the power line may result in re.
• Exposing electric pumps to rain or water could result in an electrical hazard.
• Avoid conditions that 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.
Hoses
WARNING:
• Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the correct tools. Do
not overtighten. Connections should be only secure and leak-free. Overtightening can
cause premature thread failure or high pressure ttings to split at pressures lower
than their rated capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut
off the pump and shift the control valve twice to release pressure. Never attempt to
grasp a leaking hose under pressure 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, heavy impact,
or extreme heat or cold. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, 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.
• 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 material 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.
