5 - INSTALLATION AND START-UP
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 accessories 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 MUST BE INSTALLED ONLY IN HORIZONTAL POSITION.
Figure 2 on page 2 shows the drilling template to use when designing the pump baseplate(fig.2a -> 1.4 Lt. pump / fig.2b -> 4 Lt. pump).
WARNING:
IF THE PUMP'S CONTROLS ARE EXPOSED TO FALLING OBjECTS OR SOMETHING OTHER THAT COULD
ACCIDENTALLY HIT THEM AND CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED START-UP, IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL AN
APPROPRIATE PROTECTION IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS HAZARD AND RESTORE THE SYSTEM SECURITY.
THE PROTECTION MUST STAND ON TO THE CONTROL MECHANISM.
5.1 - Filling the reservoir (if the pump is supplied without oil)
The table "TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS" shows the oil quantities required to fill the pump reservoir. The same table shows the actual
usable oil capacities also.
Use the oil types specified in the table. 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 PEOPLE 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
WARRANTY.
● Use a hexagon spanner diam. 17 to remove the filler plug (fig.6, page 13).
● Pour the correct quantity of oil into the reservoir (refer to the table "TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS")
● Clean the opening using a clean cloth and refit the plug, screwing it in completely.
5.2 - Start-up
THE INSTALLATION OF A DEVICE THAT INTERCEPTS THE PNEUMATIC AIR SUPPLY IS RECOMMENDED
TO RAPIDLY DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT IN CASE OF NEED OR MAINTENANCE.
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CONNECTIONS, VERIFY THE CONDITION OF FITTINGS AND SEALS AND
ENSURE THREADS AND PIPES ARE CLEAN AND INTACT.
● Connect the hydraulic pressure hose (fig.6, page 13). The hose must be fitted with a 3/8" NPTF coupling after binding the thread
with Teflon tape.
● Unscrew the breather screw (fig.6, page 13) by three or four turns using an appropriate screwdriver.
5.3 - Connecting the oil return line (use with a double acting cylinder)
● Unscrew the filler plug using a hexagon spanner diam. 17 (fig.6, page 13) and connect a hose with 1/4" GAS fitting after wrapping
with Teflon tape.
5.4 - Compressed air connection
5.4.1 - Compressed air connection to main line
● Screw a quick coupler (1/4" GAS), suitable for your system, into the inlet connection for compressed air (fig. 6, page 13), carefully
wrapping the thread with Teflon tape.
● The quick coupler must be connected to an air line supplying compressed air at between 5 and 8 bar (see "TECHNICAL SPECIFI-
CATIONS", page 15).
5.4.2 - Connection for pneumatic actuators (A and B)
● Connect a pneumatic control system to actuators A and B (only B for the AP model) using a 1/8" GAS coupler, carefully wrapping
the thread with Teflon tape.
IN ORDER TO AVOID ACTIVATIONS UNWANTED BY OR OPPOSED TO THE OPERATOR'S WILL, ON THE
REMOTE CONTROLS OF THE TWO ACTUATORS, THE "PUMP" AND "RELEASE" FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE
RECOGNISABLE THROUGH WRITINGS OR SPECIAL ICONS.
WARNING:
BEFORE OPERATING THE PUMP, ENSURE THAT ALL HYDRAULIC PIPES CONNECTIONS ARE CORRECTLY
TIGHTENED . THIS OPERATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH APPROPRIATE EqUIPMENT
