Troubleshooting

Hydraulic ram not extending

Check if the release valve on the pump is fully closed. Ensure the hydraulic fluid level is adequate and there are no air pockets in the system. Inspect hoses for kinks or blockages.

Slow or weak hydraulic action

Verify the pump is being operated correctly and the release valve is fully closed. Check for fluid leaks at the connections. If the problem persists, the hydraulic fluid may need to be replaced.

Components do not connect securely

Ensure you are using compatible fittings. Clean any dirt or debris from the threads before attempting to connect. Check for any visible damage to the threads on either component.

Pump handle feels stiff

This can sometimes indicate a need for hydraulic fluid change or lubrication of the pump mechanism. Consult the product manual for specific lubrication points.

  • Quick setup with snap-together pipework.
  • Durable construction with rust-resistant plating.
  • Versatile use due to interchangeable parts.
  • Comprehensive kit with essential tools included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the hydraulic hose to the pump and the ram, ensuring all threaded attachments are securely tightened. Ensure the pump is filled to the correct level with hydraulic fluid (check manufacturer's manual for type and quantity). Before initial use, it is recommended to cycle the pump a few times to bleed any air from the system.

Compatibility: All Sealey SuperSnap? attachments are designed to interchange with other popular makes. However, always check the threading and fitting type before connecting to non-Sealey equipment to ensure a secure and safe fit.

Care: After each use, clean the components with a dry cloth. Store the kit in its provided composite case to protect it from dirt, moisture, and impact. Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary. Inspect hoses and fittings for wear or damage before each use. For long-term storage, ensure components are clean and dry.
