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.
