WARNING: Wear proper personal protective gear when operating hydraulic equipment.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury, keep hands and feet away from work-piece during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible
personal injury. The pump tools are designed for a maximum pressure of 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2).
Do not connect a jack or cylinder to a pump. Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the
maximum rated pressure of the pump. Higher settings may result in equipment damage and/or per-
sonal injury.
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated
component in the system. Install pressure gauges in the system to monitor operating pressure.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic
hoses. Using a bent or kinked hose will cause severe back-pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will inter-
nally damage the hose, leading to premature hose failure. Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp
impact may cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying pressure to a damaged hose may
cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hose or swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle
or other means of safe transport.
CAUTION: Keep hydraulic equipment away from ames and heat. Excessive heat will soften seals,
resulting in uid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials. For optimum performance do not expose
equipment to temperatures of 65° C (170° F) or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.

LUBRICATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
*As a “rule of thumb” oil should be lled about an inch below the
top of the reservoir when the unit is powered down and all
connected tools or cylinders are retracted.
INSTALL VENT PLUG
Remove SHIPPING PLUG (A) and install
VENT PLUG (B) into cover plate.
ADDING OIL
Remove OIL FILLER CAP (C) and add TorcUP Inc.
hydraulic oil into reservoir. Oil level should not
exceed 1” from the reservoir cover.

Loose or improperly threaded ttings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized;
however, severe over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need
to be tightened secure & leak free. Never hold or stand directly in line with any
hydraulic connections while pressurizing. Never grab, touch or in any way come in
contact with a hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil can penetrate the skin and a
serious injury can result.
CONNECTING HYDRAULIC TOOLS
Use only tools, hoses and accessories rated at 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2). When making connections
with quick disconnect couplings, make sure the couplings are fully engaged. Threaded connections
such as ttings, gauges, etc. must be securely tightened and leak free. Use 1.5 wraps of Teon tape (or
suitable thread sealant) on all threads, leaving the rst complete thread free of tape to ensure no foreign
matter enters the hydraulic circuit.
CAUTION: Do not subject the hose to potential hazards such as sharp surfaces, extreme heat or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to kink or twist. Inspect each hose for wear before it is used.

PRESSURE TORQUE SETTING
1. See torque wrench instructions for amount of pressure required
to produce desired torque.
2. Loosen lock nut and back out relief valve to prevent unintended
pressure builds up.
3. Turn pump on. Press and the “RUN” switch, and read
pressure gauge.
4. While holding the button, turn relief valve in (clockwise)
to increase pressure or out (counter-clockwise)
to decrease maximum pressure. Repeat until
correct pressure is obtained.
5. Tighten lock nut on the relief valve to maintain setting.
6. Run pump several times to test this setting before
setting tool on the nut.
Make these adjustments BEFORE putting torque wrench on nut or bolt
head. The pump pressure setting may be above the pressure needed
to provide the required torque for your application.
Exceeding required torque will cause equipment damage and may lead
to serious personal injury.

AIR MOTOR AND FILTER LUBRICATOR
The air motor is a precision built rotary motor. The top clearance (between rotor and bore) is .0015”.
The total end clearance (between the sides of the rotor and the end plates is .002”). The vanes take
up their own wear and will last 5,000-12,000 hours, depending upon speed, method of oiling, operat-
ing pressure, and lend itself to operating pressure above 100PSI (6.89 Bar-Metric). Allowing excess
moisture or foreign particles from the air line to enter the motor will nullify the guarantee.
A moisture trap and lter has been installed in the air line ahead of motor. For efciency of output
and control of speed, use air line of not less then 1/2” pipe size. When coupling or connecting the
motor to a drive member, avoid any end or side thrust on the output shaft and especially DO NOT
HAMMER ON SHAFT.
The starting torque is more than the running torque and could vary depending on the position at
which the vanes stop in relation to the air intake port. The speed and torque can be regulated by
using a pressure regulator or a sim ple shut-off valve. Lubrication is necessary for the shaft seal,
and rust prevention. Each air powered pump is equipped with an automatic air line oiler set to feed
1-3 drops per minute. Use TorcUP Inc. antifreeze oil. Excessive mois ture in the line can cause rust
formation in the motor and might also cause ice to form in mufer due to expansion of air through
the motor.
NOTE: To adjust oiler drops, turn dial counter clockwise to “raise”, and clockwise to “lower”.
If the motor is sluggish or inefcient, try ushing with solvent in well ventilated area. Disconnect the air
line, again connect the air line and apply pressure slowly until there is no trace of solvent in exhaust
air. (Keep face away from exhaust air.) Check the mufer felts for grease, dirt, etc. If dirty, wash them
in solvent. Replace the felts and connect mufer. Relubricate the motor with a squirt of oil in the
chamber. If the vanes need replacing, or foreign particles are present in motor chamber, an experi-
enced mechanic may remove the end plate apposite the drive shaft end.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
To prevent explosive hazard, do not pump combustible liquids or
vapors through these units.
AFTER COMPLETING THE JOB
Before disconnecting hoses, ttings, etc. rst be sure the tool is unloaded and retracted, then
disconnect the air line and shift the hydraulic controls several times to release system pressure.
Store the pump in a clean, dry area.
MAINTAIN OIL LEVEL
Check hydraulic oil level every 30 hours of operation (sight gauge should be completely covered in
oil when all tools are retracted. Add TorcUP oil (Model # AO1 – 1 gallon) when necessary. Oil level
should be no more than 1” from top of reservoir plate – with cylinders retracted and motor off.
8
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 nonammable
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 nonammable 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 rell with a clean, nonammable
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 rell the
reservoir with TorcUP hydraulic oil and reassemble the pump.
