Hydraulic System Components
General
The Chief PIT BOSS is powered by a pneumatically
operated hydraulic pump, which is operated by a foot
pedal(see Figure 1)
NOTE:
The PIT BOSS lift has a high
pressure hydraulic system, it builds
hydraulic pressure quickly. Be aware
of this quick reaction when making
pulls or lifting vehicles.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury or damage
to property: When disconnecting
hydraulic quick couplers, some fluid
spillage may occur. Always clean up
any hydraulic fluid spillage from floor
or work area.
Initial Setup
The PIT BOSS lift requires a compressed air supply to
activate the safety lock releases. Before using the PIT
BOSS, it is necessary to install a customer supplied air
coupler. The PIT BOSS lift pump is equipped with a ¼”
Female NPT port on the back. (See figure 1)
The PIT BOSS lift pump must be connected to the hydraulic
hose at the end of the lift. First connect hydraulic quick
coupler (see Figure 2). Be certain the locking ring is
completely tightened. Read the next section on pump
usage then lift the PIT BOSS lift to its highest position.
Press the down lever on the pump until the PIT BOSS lift
completely settles into the top locking height. Connect the
pneumatic line from the pump to the coupler on the PIT
BOSS. (To connect a pneumatic line, firmly push the hose
into the fitting until it is fully seated.)
IMPORTANT:
When connecting hoses, check for
any interference of lines with moving
parts.
