Priming The Pump; Operation - Dake Force 40 Instructional Manual

Priming the Pump

Before starting the machine for the first time it is necessary to prime the pump.
1. Check that all the valves and distributors are in the rest position.
2. Jog the start button (electric motor), when the unit emits a dull sound with no jumps and the
sound of the pump is constant.
3. If the sound is uneven or bubbly there is air in the pump still. Repeat step 2 if this occurs.
4. The oil in the reservoir may fall on startup due to:
a. Absorption of volume by the cylinder.
b. Absorption of volume by the pumping unit.
c. Discharge of air bubbles remaining in the piping.
5. It may be necessary to top off the level of the oil to bring it back to the correct height. By
checking the level gauge, the level should be about half way up the gauge.

OPERATION

− Before starting any operations, make sure there are no other people in the immediate vicinity
of the area.
It is strictly forbidden to pass under the worktable.
To operate the cylinder activate the master switch and then operate the distributor level.
• Pulling the lever towards the operator (Pos. 2) will lower the ram.
• Pushing the lever all the way away from the operator (Pos. 3) will raise the ram.
• Releasing the lever will return it to natural position (Pos. 1) and stop the ram's movement.
With the hand wheel positioned on the side of the distributors (Pos. 4) it is possible to adjust the
operating pressure continually and therefor the pressing force of the cylinder. The pressure gauge
(Pos. 5) displays the pressure during working phases.
Adjustment of the maximum pressure must be increased gradually from a lower pressure until the
necessary capacity is reached to perform the operation at hand.
