HPU100 Hydraulic Power Units Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. NSTALLATION ECHANICAL The pumpset must be placed on a horizontal bracket with a solid foundation. It should be close to and below the steering lines for ease of connections and bleeding. The HPU is equipped with (4) four holes for 1/4” bolts through the mounting feet. Ensure that the unit is securely fastened to a suitable foundation.
HPU100 Hydraulic Power Units Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. The piping to the steering cylinder should be minimum 1/4” nominal size with a suitable wall thickness to safely withstand the operating pressure. The Port and Starboard steering lines should have a pressure rating of 1000 psi minimum. Secure the piping against vibration with pipe clamps spaced every 3 feet [1 m].
