BEFORE USE

1. Before using this product, read the owner's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.

2. Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent, broken, leaking or damaged components are noted.

3. Ensure all parts of your kit are included (ref. illustrations and parts list).

4. Remove dust caps and plugs from hose coupler and ram coupler.

Bleeding Air from System

1. Bleed air from ram: Place pump at a higher elevation than the hose and ram as shown in Figure 2. With the objective being to force air up stream to the reservoir, close valve and extend ram as fast as possible. Open valve fully allowing oil and air to return to reservoir. Repeat procedure two or three times.

General Instruction

1. Pump may be used in horizontal or vertical position as illustrated (ref. Figure.

3).

2. Attachments must be fully engaged before applying load.

3. Ensure load is centrally applied to attachment or ram saddle. Do not attempt off-center loading.

4. Always monitor the force applied to work piece by using a load cell and indicator, or monitor pressure developed in the ram by using an in-line pressure

Figure 2 - Pump/ram air bleed gauge, then calculate the applied force using the formula:

F = P x A, where F = lbs force, P = pressure in psi, and A = effective ram area in in 2 .

Ram Area of Model BRK4T is: 0.998 in 2

Ram Area of Model BRK10T is: 2.411 in 2 Figure 3 - Variable Position

(ref. Load-Pressure Correlation chart on page 10)

5. If bowing or bending of ram or any attachment occurs during use, STOP IMMEDIATELY, release pressure and reconsider application. Application may require higher capacity ram kit.

WARNING

When using extension tubes and/or offset attachments, reduce rated capacity by 50% for each tube or offset attachment connected. See Replacement Parts

VHFWLRQ RQ SDJHV IRU LGHQWL¿FDWLRQ RI RIIVHW attachments.

3. Continue pumping until ram reaches desired position or overpressure situation is reached.

Releasing Pressure on Work Piece:

Slowly, carefully turn the release valve counter-clockwise until ram retracts to desired position. Never turn release valve more than 1/2 of a full turn. The ram return system is spring loaded and the release valve system is metered, allowing controlled retraction of the ram.

Model BRK4T exerting 5,000 lbs of force will require what pressure?

Pressure = Force / Ram Effective Area = 5,000 lbs / 0.998 in² = 5,010 psi

Example 2

Model BRK10T operating at 6,000 psi will generate what force?

Force = Pressure x Ram Effective Area = 6,000 psi x 2.411 in 2 = 14,466 lbs

Frequently asked questions

Ensure all parts are included and inspect for damage before each use. Extension tubes and/or offset attachments require a capacity reduction by 50%. Off-center loading is not permitted. Continuously monitor the force applied and pressure developed, using a load cell, indicator, or in-line pressure gauge and formula provided.

Position the pump higher than the hose and ram. Close the valve and extend the ram quickly to force air up to the reservoir. Open the valve to allow oil and air to return to the reservoir. Repeat this process 2-3 times..

The pump may be used in horizontal or vertical positions. To apply a load, attachments must be fully engaged. The load must be centered on the attachment or ram saddle. The extension tube positioning is dependent on the load capacity needed.

Close the release valve and pump the handle until the ram is fully extended. Open the release valve until the ram has fully retracted.

Slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise until the ram retracts to the desired position. Never turn the release valve more than 1/2 of a full turn.
