The purpose of this section is to indicate the necessary procedures to perform the motor start up. The
information of this section is intended for qualified technical personnel in charge of the machine
maintenance as well as for the machine operator.
5.1 – Pre start up controls.
Before performing the first motor start up, the following points have to be checked:
Make sure the motor hydraulic connections are so to make the motor rotate in the desired direction.
For motors with standard direction of rotation:
o
Clockwise rotation (viewed facing the output shaft) with inlet pressure in the A port (pls. see
picture below)
o
Counter-clockwise rotation (viewed facing the output shaft) with inlet pressure in the B port
(pls. see picture below)
Motor direction of
rotation
Select the hydraulic fluid according to the recommendations specified in the “Operating Fluids”
section.
Check the main inlet & outlet lines, drain line and displacement change line (only for motor types
MRD/MRDE/MRDA – MRV/MRVE/MRVA) connections as specified in the “Hydraulic Connections”
section.
A motor case flushing system, as per the recommendations specified in the “Flushing” section, has
to be implemented if the motor has to continuously work in the “Continuous Working Area with
Flushing” (pls. refer to the operative diagrams of the technical catalogues) or in case the system
cannot ensure the recommended viscosity level.
Make sure that all couplings and plugs are completely tightened to prevent leakage.
