Pump Specifications • Three quart steel tank • 1.25 gpm at 1750 psi • Horizontal mount • Installation of a PS025 safety cut off switch is highly recommended (fig. 1). • Use #4 cable for all connections. • Secure the battery cable with zip ties every 12”. • A power up / power down up is available (see below for wiring). • NOTE: DO NOT GROUND THE TERMINAL ON THE MOTOR.
Preparation 1. 2. 3. 4. Read all safety instructions. Check the parts list. Disconnect the battery cable. Disconnect or remove wiring between the frame and the bed. 5. Remove all gas filler hoses from the bed (above). 6. Remove the bed bolts. 7. Remove the bed. Note: It is not necessary to completely remove your bed. It must be raised high enough in the rear to install the hinges safely. 8. Remove the gooseneck attachment, if equipped. 6 Pierce Arrow 940-538-5643 9. Remove the bumper. 10.
Bed Modifications 1. Prepare the rear frame hinges for the bed. They bolt to the stock holes in the rear of the bed. You may need to alter the rear holes so the hinges fit flush with the mount. 2. Bolt the rear frame hinges to the second hole from the rear of the bed. 5. Mark the upper bracket holes on the bed for drilling. (Keep in mind, the upper bracket must match the location of the scissors. Before drilling, be sure your equipment is aligned). 3. Bolt the angle to the back crossmember. 6.
Frame Modifications 1. Notch the frame in order to make room for the rear hinge by measuring 2 inches from the rear frame and bring a line diagonally so the bearing nut rests on the cut of the frame. 2. Cut through the diagonal mark. 3. Your notch should look like the above photo. 8 Pierce Arrow 940-538-5643 4. Fit the rear hinges. 5. Mark the four hinge holes. Drill the holes then bolt into place. 6.
7. Drill two holes through the middle crossmember to match the holes on the lower frame angle. 12. Check your work: periodically check the fit of the bed to the frame to ensure proper contact is made between the scissor and upper bracket. 13. Connect the hydraulic hose to the cylinder. Then connect the hydraulic hose to the pump using the elbow fitting. Ensure the hose is clear from all exhaust and moving components such as the drive shaft. 8.
Electrical Connections 1. Use the pump bracket and bolt the pump to the passenger side frame rail approx. behind the cab. (A spacer between the pump bracket and frame may be needed to clear the truck spring hangers). If the pump is mounted more than 10 feet from the battery use #2 cable. 5. Zip tie the switch electrical wire under the dash. 6. Run the wire from the firewall to the passenger side of the truck frame to the pump. 7.
