2.3.3 SELF-CONTAINED BELLOWS RESERVOIRS
Remove seal/fill plug (-6 SAE plug on top of Hydraulic Body). Pour oil through a strainer
into fill port until bellows is full. Replace seal/fill plug. Bleed the system completely (Sec.
2.4). Top-off the reservoir and be sure seal/fill plug is tight. To drain, remove the seal/fill
plug and invert pump to drain. Do NOT use the pump to evacuate the bellows or it may be
damaged by excessive vacuum.
2.4 BLEEDING THE UNIT (HI/LO Pumps)
Once all the above requirements are met and the reservoir is full, make sure the air regulator is
completely turned out counterclockwise (CCW) before opening the air supply. Slowly turn in
the air regulator clockwise (CW) until the pump just begins to reciprocate. Crack open the
appropriate hydraulic bleed valve or fittings while at this minimal pressure until all air is bled.
Next, turn in (CW) the air pressure regulator until NO MORE THAN 500 psi hydraulic
pressure is reading on the system gauge. Cycle the hydraulic system several times. STOP.
Turn out (CCW) the air pressure regulator again and bleed the system again as above. Repeat
until no air is evident. Top off the reservoir as required.
Once the pump is bled as above, the internal HI pressure circuit must be bled. The pump will
abruptly change pressure when the factory preset ‘Kick Down’ pressure is reached and if air is
present, the pump will cycle rapidly. Once the low pressure bleed-off is complete, continue to
turn in (CW) the air pressure regulator until the ‘Kick-down’ occurs, normally 700-1000 psi.
If the pump suddenly cycles violently then quickly turn out (CCW) the air pressure regulator
until ALL system pressure is relieved (bleed-off if necessary). Repeat procedure until ‘Kick
Down’ is without stutter.
SECTION 3.0 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
3.1 GENERAL
The modular design of these units yield maximum service with minimal maintenance. Upon
receipt of the unit, inspect the assembly thoroughly. If physical damage is evident, do not
operate the unit. Consult your distributor or the manufacturer for replacement parts or
corrective action.
3.1.1 AIR SPOOL LUBRICATION
The only preventative maintenance task for the pump is to re-grease the air spool
assembly every 1000 hours of operation. A lithium based waterproof grease should be
used for this task.
To perform this task, first remove the left side Air Pilot Cap on the left side of the Air Cap as
viewed from the air inlet (Part No. 10298). Extract the Air Spool (Part No. 10659). Extract
