TorcUP AP1000 - OPERATION PROCEDURES; PERIODIC MAINTENANCE; CLEAN OIL INTAKE SCREEN ONCE A YEAR; FLUSH THE PUMP

OPERATION PROCEDURES
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Completely change the hydraulic oil and clean the intake screen and magnet (located in the reservoir)
twice a year. If equipped, change the external oil lter twice a year (Use TorcUP oil only, Model #
AO1, 1 gallon). Change the oil more frequently when used in extremely dusty areas or when the oil
has been overheated. Using oil other than TorcUP Brand may void the pump’s warranty.
The following conditions require more frequent oil changes.
•Rigorous duty, where oil temperature may reach 150˚ F.
•High humidity environment and extreme changes in temperature that can result in
condensation inside the reservoir.
•Dirty or dusty environments that may contaminate the oil.
•Frequent connection and disconnection of hydraulic hoses and components.
CLEAN OIL INTAKE SCREEN ONCE A YEAR
Loosen and remove reservoir plate bolts. Lift pump unit off the reservoir, being careful not to damage
the gasket.
Applies to 1.5, 2, 2.5 gallon reservoirs:
Remove the ve allen socket head cap screws, securing the screen to the 1st stage gear pump. Care
should be taken not to remove the center plate and gears. Remove and clean with nonammable
solvent, blow dry clean. Reinstall in reverse order and torque bolts to 75 inch pounds. Keep the motor
and pump as clean as possible.
Applies to the 5 and 10 gallon reservoirs:
Unscrew screen from bottom of pump unit and clean
with nonammable solvent. Blow dry and reassemble.
Keep areas around pump unobstructed to provide good
air ow around the motor and pump. Keep the motor
and pump as clean as possible.
FLUSH THE PUMP
If you suspect your pump has been contaminated or
discover sludge or other deposits on internal
components, you should thoroughly ush the pump.
Remove the old oil from the reservoir, then thoroughly
clean the reservoir and rell with a clean, nonammable
ushing oil. Reassemble the pump and motor to the
reservoir.
Run the pump in no load condition for 1 or 2 minutes maximum. Unplug the pump and remove the
motor and pump assembly again. Now drain the ushing oil and re-clean the inside of the reservoir.
(Make sure ushing uid is also drained from pump assembly). Reassemble the pump and rell the
reservoir with TorcUP hydraulic oil and reassemble the pump.
