You can hotwire the pump to test it's function. As I believe Fred indicated, to wires for the motor and to for the engage/disengage solenoid.
Without power applied the drive is in "standby" and the arm should move in and out without much resistance. When the solenoid is engaged the drive should be locked. The motor should run forward or reverse when power is applied. You MAY need to make up an interlock by simultaneously energizing the solenoid. You want to be careful not to drive the motor into the stops, there are no interlocks, safeties or limits to protect the system.
