Initial Setup - SPX FLOW Infinity Series Operating Instructions Manual

1� Remove all packing materials from the assembled unit.
2� Inspect the unit upon arrival. The carrier, not the manufacturer, is responsible for any damage resulting from
shipment.
Filling the Pump Reservoir
Most pumps are shipped without hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. Hydraulic fluid may have been shipped in a
separate container, but if hydraulic fluid is needed, use only approved Power Team hydraulic fluid rated at AW
46 47 cSt @ 38°C (237 SUS @ 100°F). If low temperature requirements are needed, use hydraulic fluid 5.1
cSt @ 100°C (451 cSt @ -40°C).
1� Clean the area around the filler cap to remove all debris. Any debris in the hydraulic fluid can damage the
polished surfaces and precision-fit components of this pump.
2� Retract all cylinder(s) to their return position.
3� Remove the filler cap and insert a clean funnel with a filter. Fill the reservoir with hydraulic fluid to 44.5–
50.8 mm (1.75–2.00 in.) from the cover plate. Replace the filler cap.
Hydraulic Connections
1� Clean the areas around the fluid ports of the pump and cylinders.
2� Inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, replace as needed.
3� Clean all hose ends, couplers or union ends.
4� Remove the thread protectors from the hydraulic fluid outlets.
5� Connect the hose assembly to the hydraulic fluid outlet, and couple the hose to the cylinder.
: To prevent personal injury from leaking hydraulic fluid, seal all hydraulic
connections with a high-quality, non-hardening, pipe thread sealant.
IMPORTANT : Sealant tape or non hardening sealer tape can be used to seal hydraulic
connections if only one layer of tape is used. Apply tape carefully, two threads back, to prevent
it from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the system. Loose pieces of sealant
could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of fluid or cause jamming of precision-fit
parts.
