This chapter describes the methods of installation of the pump. The method here recommended will give excellent
results. The purchaser of the pump, i.e. the manufacturer of the machine on which the pump will be installed, may opt
for different types of installation, using brackets or any other types of accessory considered to be necessary.
HOWEVER, THE ORIGINAL SHAPE AND ATTACHMENT OF THE PUMP MUST NOT BE MODIFIED, THE
PROTECTIONS APPLIED TO THE PUMP MUST NOT BE TAMPERED WITH AND NO ACTION MUST BE TAKEN
THAT COULD MAKE THE PUMP POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. If these instructions are disregarded, the person
who is responsible for the modifications automatically assumes full liability for any accidents that may occur during use
of the pump.
The pump can be installed in a horizontal or vertical position.
Figure 3 on page 2 shows the drilling template to use when designing the pump baseplate. The pump must be
anchored to the baseplate using the four screws supplied.
IMPORTANT: the fixing hole depth for pump with 2.5 litre reservoir is 20 mm. This length must not be exceeded.
5.1 Filling the reservoir (if the pump is supplied without oil)
Page 14 shows the oil quantities required to fill the pump reservoir. The table also shows the actual usable oil capacities.
Use the oil types specified on page 14. The use of oil with different characteristics can result in serious damage to the
pump and render it unsuitable for use. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY
TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY CAUSED BY THE USE OF UNSUITABLE OR EXHAUST OIL.
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP RESULTING FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED CAUSES IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
l Use a slotted tip screwdriver to remove the filler plug (fig.12, page 13)
l Pour the correct quantity of oil into the reservoir (refer to the table on page 14)
l Clean the edges of the filler opening with a clean cloth and refit the plug, pressing it down fully.
5.2.1 - Start-up - horizontal operation
l Connect the hydraulic pressure hoses to the outlet port (A fig. 4) and reservoir port (B fig. 4) on the pump. The
hoses must be fitted with a G1/4” coupling with seal washer.
l Unscrew the breather screw (fig.5, page 2) by three or four turns using an appropriate screwdriver
5.2.2 - Start-up - vertical operation
l Connect the hydraulic pressure hoses to the outlet port (A fig. 4) and reservoir port (B fig. 4) on the pump. The
hoses must be fitted with a G1/4” coupling with seal washer.
l Use a slotted tip screwdriver to extract the breather plug to position “D” (fig.6, page 3).
5.3 - Connecting the compressed air line
l Select a quick coupler that is suitable for your air line, bind the thread with Teflon tape, and then screw it into the
compressed air inlet connection (fig.12, page 13).
l The quick coupler must be connected to an air line supplying compressed air at between 2.8 and 10 bar (see
“Technical specifications”, page 14).
