SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USE (Refer to Figure 1 on page 3)  
1. Study, understand, and follow all instructions provided with and on this device before use.  
2. Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent, broken, leaking or damaged components are noted.  
3. Ensure that product and application are compatible.  
4. Check to ensure that all parts of your kit are included (see illustration and parts list on page 10 & 11).  
5. Carefully remove the dust covers and plugs from hose coupler and ram coupler.  
6. Connect hose coupler to ram coupler, ensure that there are no fluid leaks.  
7. Locate and open release valve. Pump handle a few strokes to purge air from system. Close release valve and pump  
handle until ram is fully extended, then open release valve until ram has fully retracted.  
8. With ram fully retracted and release valve open, place pump in horizontal position. Locate and open oil filler screw (on  
reservoir body, near the back). This will release air trapped within the reservoir. Retighten the oil filler screw.  
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION  
1. Ensure that attachments are fully engaged before applying load.  
2. Ensure that load is centrally applied to attachment or ram saddle. Do not load off center.  
3. Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by using a load cell and indicator or you may monitor pressure  
developed in the ram by using an inline pressure 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 in².  
RamArea of B65114 is: 0.998 in²  
RamArea of B65115 is: 2.431 in²  
you can refer to the Load-Pressure Correlation chart on page 12.  
4. If bowing or bending of ram or any attachment occurs during use, "STOP", release pressure immediately and  
reconsider application. Application may not be compatible with product, a ram kit with a higher capacity may be  
needed.  
!
WARNING  
! DANGER !  
All WARNING statements must be carefully observed  
to help prevent personal injury.  
• Do not exceed rated capacity.  
• Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of  
sustaining rated capacity loads.  
• If oil leakage is detected, discontinue use of the ram  
immediately and contact your nearest Porto-Power  
Blackhawk Automotive Authorized Service Center.  
The ram could develop excessive pressure and cause  
the ram, hose or coupler to burst, which could cause  
serious injury or death.  
• Do not open oil filler screw unless ram is fully  
retracted.  
• Do not wear sandals and jewelry when operating  
this equipment.  
• Do not use as a vehicle lifting device or vehicle support.  
• Any attachment that is not loaded centrally, as  
through the centerline of the ram, is considered to  
be "offset".  
• When extension tubes and/or offset attachments  
are used, the rated capacity is always reduced by  
50% for each tube or attachment connected.  
• Monitor pressure and load at all times.  
• Always verify load with calibrated load cell and  
indicator, known good pressure gauge or equivalent  
devices.  
!
WARNING  
To avoid crushing and  
related injuries:  
Do not work on, under or  
around a lifted load.  
Always support with  
appropriate mechanical  
means.  
Wear protective clothing  
and safety goggles to  
reduce the risk of  
injection.  
Do not modify this device.  
Failure to heed these markings may result in  
personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING  
WARNING  
• Ram must be on a stable base, which is able to  
support the load while pushing or lifting.  
• Ensure ram is fully engaged into/onto adapters,  
extension accessories.  
Hydraulic Hoses and Fluid Transmission Lines  
• Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line  
runs do not provide for expansion and contraction due  
to pressure and/or temperature changes.  
• To help prevent personal injury, use shims, friction  
material or constraints to prevent slippage of the  
base or load.  
• Do not off-center loads on a ram. The load can tip or  
the ram can "kick out" and cause personal injury.  
• As the load is lifted, use blocking and cribbing to  
guard against a falling load.  
• Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should  
be supported by brackets or clips. Before operating  
the pump, all hose connections must be tightened  
with the proper tools. Do not overtighten. Connections  
should only be tightened securely and leak-free.  
Overtightening can cause premature thread failure or  
high pressure fittings to burst.  
• Never allow personnel to work on, under or around a  
load before it is properly supported by appropriate  
mechanical means. Never rely on hydraulic  
pressure alone to support load.  
• All personnel must be clear before lowering.  
• Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder, Refer  
repairs to qualified, authorized personnel.  
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need  
to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump  
and release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a  
leaking pressurized hose with your hands. The  
force of escaping hydraulic fluid can inflict injury.  
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such  
as fire, sharp objects, extreme heat or cold, or  
heavy impact.  
• Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut  
or bend so tightly that the fluid flow within the hose is  
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for  
wear, because any of these conditions can damage  
the hose and possibly result in personal injury.  
• Do not pull, position or move setup by the hose. Doing  
so can damage the hose and possibly cause personal  
injury.  
Center loads on ram  
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible  
with hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not come  
in contact with corrosive materials such as battery  
acid, creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint.  
Hose deterioration due to corrosive material can result  
in personal injury. Never paint a coupler or hose.  
• The user must be a qualified operator familiar with the  
correct operation, maintenance, and use of rams. Lack  
of knowledge in any of these areas can lead to personal  
injury.  
IMPORTANT  
• Keep ram clean at all times.  
• When the ram is not is use, keep the piston(s) fully  
retracted.  
• Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to  
seal all hydraulic connections. Teflon tape can be used  
if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied  
carefully (two threads back) to prevent the tape from  
being introduced into hydraulic system.A piece of tape  
could travel through the system and obstruct the flow  
of fluid and adversely affect function.  
• Never attach ANY component not authorized by  
manufacturer.  
• Use only approved accessories and approved  
hydraulic fluid.  
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the ram.  
• Inspect each ram and coupler before each use to  
prevent unsafe conditions from developing.  
• Do not use rams if they are damaged, altered or in  
poor condition.  
• Never use other than factory provided and/or  
authorized fasteners.  
KNOW YOUR SYSTEM  
• Do not use rams with bent or damaged coupler or  
damaged threads.  
• Under certain conditions, the use of an extension  
with a hydraulic ram may not be advisable and  
could present a dangerous condition.  
• Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be  
created by the load or parts of ram.  
• To help prevent material fatigue if the ram is to  
be used in a continuous application, the load  
should not exceed 85% of the rated capacity.  
Your ram, hose(s), couplings and pump all must be rated  
for the same maximum operating pressure, correctly  
_connected and compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.  
An improperly matched system can cause the system  
to fail and possibly cause serious injury. If you are in  
doubt, consult your nearest Porto-Power Blackhawk  
Automotive Dealer.

OPERATION  
Note: Inspect before each use for evidence of fluid leaks, damaged  
hydraulic fittings, bent or broken attachments and missing parts.  
1. Locate and close release valve by turning it clockwise until firmly  
closed. (Do not over tighten)  
2. Operate by pumping handle. This will send fluid from the pump  
reservoir into the high pressure hose assembly and into the ram  
assembly.  
3. Continue pumping until ram reaches desired height.  
Note: Pump may be used in horizontal and vertical position as  
illustrated (See figure 2).  
Figure 2 - Horizontal and Vertical Position  
To Release Pressure on work piece:  
Slowly, carefully turn the release valve counterclockwise until ram  
retracts to desired position. Never turn release valve more than  
1/2 full turn. The ram return system is spring loaded, allowing  
controlled retraction of the ram.  
MAINTENANCE  
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic oil. We recommend Hein-Werner HW93291.Avoid mixing different types of  
fluid and Never use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause failure of  
the pump and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.  
Adding oil  
1. With ram fully lowered, set pump unit in its normal, level position. Locate and remove oil filler screw (see Figure 1).  
2. Fill until oil is within 1/4" (6 mm) of the hole opening, reinstall oil filler screw.  
Changing oil  
For best performance and increased system life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.  
1. With ram fully lowered, remove the oil filler screw from the pump reservoir as above.  
2. Lay the pump on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.  
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.  
3. Set pump in its level upright position.  
4. Fill with good quality hydraulic oil to within 3/8" of the oil filler screw hole opening. Reinstall oil filler screw.  
Lubrication  
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that pump  
assemblies move freely.  
Cleaning  
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.  
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!  
Storage  
When not in use, store with the pump piston and ram fully retracted.

• Bleed air from system  
Ram *bleeds off after lift  
• Ensure release valve tightly closed  
• Dirt in pump's return check valve • Flush the system  
• Hydraulic unit malfunction  
• Replace ram/pump or, contact service  
center  
Handle kick-back  
• Dirt in return check valve  
• Flush the system  
• Reservoir overfilled  
• Damage coupler  
• Bent plunger/ ram damaged  
• Drain fluid to proper level  
• Replace coupler  
• Replace ram  
Ram will not lower after  
unloading  
• Fluid level low  
• Air trapped in system  
• Ensure proper fluid level  
• Bleed air from system  
Poor performance  
* "Bleeds off" means that ram begins to slowly retract rather than maintain position  
How to remove faulty coupler  
If ram does not retract, secure load by other means. Open pump release valve to depressurize pump and hose. To  
avoid hydraulic oil from spilling, wraps the grasping tool with rags or similar padding. Remove the ram from  
application. Disconnect and replace with new coupler.  
How to bleed air from system  
1. Bleed air from ram: Place pump at a higher elevation than the hose and ram (refer to figure 4). The objective is to  
"float the air bubbles up hill and back to the reservoir where they belong. Close valve and extend ram as fast as  
possible. Open valve fully allowing oil and air to return to reservoir. Repeat this procedure two or three times will do  
the trick.  
2. Bleed air from pump: With ram fully retracted, remove oil filler screw to let pressurized air escape, then reinstall oil  
filler screw.

Load - Pressure Correlation For Model B65114 & B65115  
Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by using a load cell and indicator or you may monitor pressure  
developed in the ram by using an inline pressure gauge, then calculate the applied force using the formula:  
where F = Force/ Load (lbs);  
P = Hydraulic working pressure (psi) and;  
A = Ram effective area (in²)  
F = P x A  
For model B65114, A = 0.998 in² ;  
For model B65115, A = 2.411 in²  
Example1  
Example2  
Model B65114 lifting 5,000 lbs will require what  
presure?  
Pressure = 5,000 lbs ÷ 0.998 in² = 5,010 psi  
Model B65115 operating at 6,000 psi will generate  
what force?  
Force = 6,000 psi x 2.411 in2 = 14,466 lbs
