CAUTION: Keep hydraulic equipment away from

ﬂ ames and heat. Excessive heat will soften packings

and seals, resulting in ﬂ uid leaks. Heat also weakens

hose materials and packings. For optimum performance do not

expose equipment to temperatures of 65°C [150°F] or higher.

Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.

DANGER: Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping

oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing

serious injury. If oil is injected under the skin, see a

doctor immediately.

WARNING: Only use hydraulic cylinders in a coupled

system. Never use a cylinder with unconnected couplers. If

the cylinder becomes extremely overloaded, components

can fail catastrophically causing severe personal injury.

WARNING: BE SURE SETUP IS STABLE BEFORE

LIFTING LOAD. Cylinders should be placed on a ﬂ at

surface that can support the load. Where applicable, use

a cylinder base for added stability. Do not weld or otherwise

modify the cylinder to attach a base or other support.

Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered on

the

cylinder

plunger.

considerable strain on cylinders and plungers. In addition,

the load may slip or fall, causing potentially dangerous results.

Distribute the load evenly across the entire saddle surface.

Always use a saddle to protect the plunger.

IMPORTANT: Hydraulic equipment must only be

serviced by a qualiﬁ ed hydraulic technician. For repair

service, contact the Authorized AME Service Center in

your area. To protect your warranty, use only AME oil.

WARNING: Immediately replace worn or damaged parts by

genuine AME parts. Standard grade parts will break causing

personal injury and property damage. AME parts are

designed to ﬁ t properly and withstand high loads.

3.0 DESCRIPTION

The 10,000 psi 15000 Air Pumps have an operating pressure

of 10,000 psi at 85 psi inlet pressure. They are suited for

plant maintenance, fabrication, production, bolting, vehicle

repair, and any task that requires hydraulic pressure from air

input.

See table below.

5.0 INSTALLATION

5.1 Air Supply

Pump operates with 25-125 psi [1,7-8,6 bar] air pressure. A regulator/

ﬁ lter/lubricator should be installed upstream from pump to provide

clean, lubricated air and allow for air pressure adjustment.

5.2 Air Connections

See Figure 1, page 5. Attach air supply to the 1/4 NPT swivel

connection on the end of the pump. Use Teﬂ on tape or similar

thread sealant. Torque to 20-25 ft. lbs [27-34 Nm].

5.3 Hydraulic Connections

See Figure 2, page 5. Thread hose(s) into outlet port of pump (A).

Hose ﬁ ttings must be torqued.

NOTE: Use 11/2 wraps of Teﬂ on tape the NPTF hose ﬁ ttings

only, leaving the ﬁ rst complete thread free of tape to ensure that

pieces of tape do not break off and enter the system. Torque: 65-

75 Ft-lbs [88-102 Nm].

NOTE:

Valve block or treadle should be restrained when

torquing ﬁ ttings. The reservoir base should not be bolted down

or restrained to compensate for the ﬁ tting installation torque.

5.4 Venting

This pump must always be vented prior to use. Use either the

"Vent Screw" or "Vent/Fill Plug".

a) Vent Screw: See Figure 3, item 1, page 5. The vent screw is the

primary means to vent the reservoir when the pump is operated

in the horizontal position. It is located near the hydraulic outlet

port on top of the reservoir. To use this plug, open the screw

1-2 turns. To avoid damaging the threads when closing the

vent screw, tighten only until screw head contacts the reservoir

cover. The vent screw can NOT be used when pump is mounted

vertically! When mounting in the vertical position, use the vent/

ﬁ ll plug.

b) Vent/Fill Plug: See Figure 4, item 2, page 5. The Vent/Fill plug

is located on the air inlet end of the pump, opposite the vent

screw. This plug serves 3 functions; vent plug, ﬁ ll port, and

return-to-tank port.
