HOW TO CHARGE A PUMP PRESSURE SYSTEM
Fluid Levels
Damper Assembly and
Sensitivity
Inspect Gauge Protector for Cracks, Cuts, Dents, Leaks
Inspect Hydraulic
Hoses for Cuts, Cracks, Kinks
Inspect Hose Connections
Check Regularly
Inspect Gauge, Broken Glass,
Loose Pointers Loose Knobs Follow these steps to ensure that
pump pressure systems operate at peak efficiency. To maintain proper pressure and to protect diaphragm
rubber, systems must be full of hydraulic fluid at all times.
Remember to check the components to the left regularly.
Operator must remove pressure from gauge before starting steps below.
STEP ONERemove the cap
from check valve on the diaphragm
protector.
Diaphragm Protector (CD106)
Check Valve (CC102)
Check Valve Cap
STEP TWO
Attach aluminum hand pump to the check valve.Do not tighten swivel completely. Aluminum Hand Pump

STEP THREE
Fill the hand pump reservoir with Crown’s red hydraulic fluid.

STEP FOUR
Push on the hand pump plunger to move the hydraulic fluid towards the system. Air bubbles will emerge between the hand pump and check valve.

STEP FIVE
Once you see a small amount fluid coming out of the connection completely tighten swivel to the check valve. There should be no bubbles coming out of the connection at this point.

STEP SIX
Remove the 1/8’ pipe plug in the gauge, making sure to tape the thread with Teflon tape.

Rubber Cup Diaphragm
STEP EIGHT
Pump hydraulic fluid into the system until the rubber collapses its side together at approximately 38 PSI. The diaphragm sides will be just touching each other.
Rubber cup will collapse and sides will be just touching at
approximately 38 psi.
STEP NINERemove the hand pump from the check valve.
