5.0 Installation / Setup
5.1 Before First Use / Preparation
1. Immediately after unpacking, examine the unit for signs of transit damage and if found contact the
shipping company.
2. Establish the oil level in the oil reservoir (1) using the oil level gauge (8). Depending on the shipping
method used, the reservoir may either be supplied full or empty. If the reservoir is empty, it must be
correctly filled before use (
See section 5.2
). If the reservoir was supplied full of oil, no further action
is required.
IMPORTANT:
Running the pump without oil will result in damage.
5.2 Filling the Reservoir with Oil
IMPORTANT:
The TPE-A Range of pumps uses
ISO46 Grade Hydraulic Oil.
Stand the Pump on a firm, level surface.
Remove the filler cap (14) from the filler breather.
Fill the reservoir with clean, high-quality ISO46 hydraulic oil via the filler breather until the oil level
reaches the maximum level on the oil level gauge (8).
Replace the filler cap (14) on the filler breather.
Ensure the oil level does not fall below the minimum level. Running the pump without oil
will result in damage. (See section 7)
IMPORTANT:
Only add oil to the reservoir when the attached tool is fully retracted. Failure to do so may
result in the system containing more oil than the reservoir can hold.
NOTE:
More hydraulic oil can be added to the reservoir to assist with cooling if required, but not
more than 10mm above the max oil level mark on the gauge (8).
