8. MAINTENANCE
Battery Pump
The pump is robust, completely sealed, and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points, should help to maintain its optimum performance:
8.1) Thorough cleaning of battery pump
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Every day, after use, the pump and accessoires must be wiped with a clean cloth taking care to
remove any residue. Do not use Hydrocarbons to clean the rubber parts.
After use, protect the couplers of the pump, hose and hydraulic head with their
protective caps to prevent contamination.
8.2) Canvas bag
To protect the pump from accidental damage and dust, it should be stored with its accessories in
the special canvas bag provided and sealed well.
Canvas bag type 031: Size 620x300x320 mm (24.4x11.8x12.6 inches), weight 2,4 kg (5.3 lbs).
8.3) Storage
Once the job has been completed always completely release the pressure of the oil by holding
down the release button; ensure that the ram of the connected hydraulic head is completely
retracted before disconnecting the head.
Remove the battery from the pump.
Turn off the remote controller.
Disconnect the flexible hose; avoid folding it with tight bends or knots that may
compromise its integrity.
Store the pump and accessories in the canvas bag in a dry place.
8.4) Topping off the oil
Periodically check, at least every 6 months, the oil level in the pump and top off if necessary:
Position the pump without battery on its base on a flat surface.
Completely discharge the oil pressure by pushing the pressure release button (7).
Unscrew the filler cap (1).
By using a funnel, top off very slowly to completely fill the oil reservoir to the maximum level.
When the operation is finished replace the cap (1).
Always use clean recommended insulated oil, see section 1.
Do not use old or recycled oil. Do not use hydraulic brake fluid.
Ensure that used oil is disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
