A4 Commissioning
Before initial commissioning
■
Check the completeness of the tech-
nical documentation, e.g. hydraulic
plan, equipment list, electrical wiring
diagram, instructions for switch and
motor.
■
Site personnel must familiarise them-
selves with the system using the
available documentation.
■
Compare required type of current
and voltage with that specified on
the type plate.
■
Check the rotary field.
■
Check that the oil tank is clean.
■
Check hydraulic oil for cleanliness.
■
Fill tank with hydraulic oil. For this,
use a filter pump or clean universal
funnel.
■
Check temperature of the electric
motor.
■
Check temperature of the hydraulic
oil and, if necessary, bring it up to op-
erating temperature by means of
free circulation.
■
Clean the bushings and nipples of all
quick-couplers, and check for
damage.
■
Check all fittings and re-tighten if
necessary.
■
Carefully vent the system during ini-
tial commissioning or after temporary
storage.

Initial commissioning
Measures taken during
commissioning
■
Check the rotary field.
■
Check the level of the hydraulic oil
and top up, if necessary.
■
Check temperature of the hydraulic
oil and, if necessary, bring it up to op-
erating temperature.
■
Listen out for any pump noises after
starting up.
■
Carefully vent the system during ini-
tial commissioning or after temporary
storage.
■
Check the functionality of the hand
valves and hydraulic cylinders.
■
Check components and connections
for external leaks.
– Re-tighten leaking screw connec-
tions only after pressure release
has taken place! Never re-tighten
under high pressure!
■
Check filter and, if necessary, clean
or replace.

Further commissioning
■
Check the level of the hydraulic oil
and top up, if necessary.
■
Check temperature of the hydraulic
oil and, if necessary, bring it up to op-
erating temperature.
■
Listen out for any unusual pump
noises.
■
Check components and connections
for external leaks.
– Re-tighten leaking screw connec-
tions only after pressure release
has taken place! Never re-tighten
under high pressure!
During operation
■
Monitor the temperature of the hy-
draulic oil.
■
Monitor the temperature of the elec-
tric motor.
■
Listen out for any unusual pump
noises.
Re-commissioning after a
long downtime
■
Thoroughly clean and rinse preserved
equipment before commissioning.
Any remaining preservation agents
can block the valves.
■
Drain condensation water from the
hydraulic tank.
■
After a long downtime period, check
hydraulic oil for usability and change
if necessary.
All recommended measures for initial
commissioning also apply to
re-commissioning.
At low temperatures of < 10 °C, warm
up hydraulic oil by flushing the system
in order to reach the required start
viscosity.
