Hydraulic Linear Drive - Installation Guide
Hydraulic pump
Mount the hydraulic pump:
•
on a substantial member to avoid vibration that could damage the
hydraulic pipes
•
on a horizontal surface, clear of water spray and possible
immersion.
•
level or above the hydraulic ram to prevent air from collecting
in the ram
Note: Secure the pump using suitable bolts, lock nuts & lock washers.
Reservoir
Mount the reservoir vertically and at least 150 mm (6 in) above the
hydraulic pump (to ensure a good supply of fluid to the system):
1. Attach the clip, then use the tie-wrap to secure the reservoir to the
clip.
2. Remove the temporary (non-breathable) transit cap fitted to the
reservoir.
3. Fill the reservoir with the supplied hydraulic fluid, so the level is
between the minimum and maximum lines.
CAUTION:
Absolute cleanliness is essential when working with hydraulic
systems. Even the smallest particle of dirt could prevent the
steering system check valves from working properly.
4. Fit the supplied standard (breathable) cap to the reservoir.
5. Open the reservoir tap.
3. Connecting to the course computer
WARNING: Electrical safety
Make sure the power supply is switched off before you make any
electrical connections.
The hydraulic linear drive system has electrical connections for:
•
the motor in the pump: two cables: red (+) and black (-)
•
the clutch in the hydraulic ram: a two-core cable with brown (+)
and blue (-) cores
