action to be taken prior to start up
Verify the integrity of the pump;
Fill the tank with suitable lubricant (min/max indication on the tank);
Verify that the pump is at operating temperature and the tubing free from air bubbles;
Check that the electrical connections have been effected correctly (CEI 64/8, IEC 364);
Verify the correct connections of any level and pressure switches to the control panel
3.2
Use
1.
verify the settings on the control panel, where fitted;
2.
press the start button of the machine to which the pump is connected;
3.
verify the starting of the pump;
4.
verify the adequate lubrication of the machine (if doubt exists as to the correct functioning consult the
Engineering Department of Dropsa SpA to request test procedures).
3.3
Transport and storage
Transport and storage is effected in a cardboard package.
No particular precautions are required except as noted on the package itself.
Handling can be effected by one person.
!
Lift the unit with taking account of the right way up indicated on the cardboard carton
!
The machine components can withstand temperatures, during storage, from -20 to +50°C; however, in
order to avoid damage, starting of the machine should occur at a minimum temperature of -5°C..
3.4
Assembly/Disassembly
No pump assembly operations are envisaged.
For wall or floor mounting ensure adequate space is available (as shown in the installation diagram) to avoid
abnormal postures and possible impacts; four fixing holes are provided with different characteristics depending on
the version (see section 2.2)
Subsequently it will be necessary, as previously described, to connect the pump to the machine hydraulically and
then to connect the control panel.
During the disassembly phase ensure the tank is empty.
Disconnect the electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic parts.
Where the machine is to be scrapped, do not dispose of potentially polluting parts in the environment,
following local regulations for their correct disposal.
At the time of the machine being scrapped it is necessary to remove and destroy the identification plate and all
other relative documents.
3.5
Regulation
The only parameter which can be modified is the pressure; to modify the value increase or decrease the pressure of
the command air/hydraulic supply.
3.6
Maintenance
!
Locate the machine in conditions which facilitate easy access.
Utilise individual protection to avoid contact with mineral oil or grease.
Having undergone rigorous testing by ourselves, the pump does not require any further maintenance. The use of
lubricants free from impurities is recommended and the periodic careful cleaning of the component parts of the
pump.
