Energy 18 – User Guide
Hydraulic pump: Qmax = 8,9L/min, Pmax = 30bar
Reservoir: V = 8L
Electric motor: 24V/0,5kW
Maintenance of the hydraulic aggregate.

Hydraulic oil, oil level
Only the hydraulic oil with the viscosity of VG46 can be used. Using other oils or
mixing with oils with various viscosities is forbidden! The reservoir of the hydraulic
oil has the capacity of 8L. the oil level needs to be regularly checked and refilled
when necessary. Oil level and opening on (picture).
•
Electric motor for the propulsion of the hydraulic pump
The electric DC 24V motor is charged directly through the battery block and it is
connected through the power fuse 80A, located on the right side of the hydraulic
aggregate (picture). If the fuse disconnects, place it back in its position by pressing
the on it.
7.3 Hydraulic telescopic cylinders
There are four active hydraulic cylinders, whose purpose is to lift the roof of the vessel
Energy 18, that is two in front on the prow and two at the back on the stern. The central
hydraulic cylinders are passive and serve as the lead (picture). The hydraulic cylinders do
not require special maintenance, except for a possible de-aeration if the air occurs in the
entire system.
The de-aeration procedure goes as follows:
•
Lift the roof to its maximum height (see the chapter „Lifting and lowering the roof“,
on page 34).
•
Loosen the screw at the end of the piston rod right under the attachment of the
piston rod to the roof. Loosen it enough to allow the air to escape out of it.
•
When oil starts coming out instead of air, retighten the screw.
•
Repeat the procedure on all four active hydraulic cylinders.
•
Wipe the escaped oil with a clean cloth.
7.4 Return mechanism
The return mechanism enables a balanced movement of the roof. It is locate under the
steering console and can be reached through the opening of the batteries. WARNING!
Danger of large forces of the gas spring’s pressure!
