Pump hose connections
• Fit the LS-hose from the «LS»-port at the valve to the «X»-port on the pump.
Using too long/deep threads (e.g. JIC threads) will jam the pump pressure regula-
tor spring, causing the pump to malfunction.
• The drain hose should be connected to the highest position of port «L1» and
«L2» at the pump (please see pump drawings) to ensure best priming of the
pump. Use one of the three drains (1/2" BSP-connections) at the tank.
• Suction hose can be mounted with nipples and hose clamps at pump inlet (2"
SAE 3000 PSI). Use a reinforced hose that will not collapse due to suction in the
hose. To avoid pump damaging cavitation in the suction line, try to avoid using
sharp 90° elbows or T-connections close to the pump.
• Pressure hose has to be mounted at pump outlet (1" SAE 3000 PSI) and at the
free 1" BSP port at the high-pressure filter on the oil tank.
Sidepower hydraulic thruster systems can be
delivered with various numbers of modules and
set-ups. Please see enclosed system drawings and
valve documentation for Flow/Pressure settings at
the actual valve module.
Be sure to connect your consumers to the correct
modules (correct set-up for correct consumer).
Attach each consumer to the A and B consumer
ports.
Please see the consumers installation manual for
how to install additional consumers that are not
Side-Power products.
Connect drain from consumers to drain port at tank.
If resetting or fine tuning of the valves is necces
-
sary, please contact your Side-Power distributor.

Cooling water
The hydraulic tank comes prefitted with two internal oil coolers that will need cooling water (approx. 15 l/min seawater at max 30°C)
For maximum cooling efficiency, we advice to install a separate seawater intake to supply the cooling water. This solution will require a
separate water circulation pump. If an electrical pump is choosen, the electrical temperature/level indicatior on the tank has a separa-
rate 50°C switch that can control the function of the water circulation pump, in relation to the oil temperature. See electrical schematics
for more detailed information. If a separate water intake is used, the coolers can be connected in series/loop.
If a separate water intake is not an option, the cooling water can bee bleed from the engine seawater cooling system. Please verify with
the engine manufacturer that this is accepted. If two engines is used, make sure to connect one oil cooler to each of the engine cooling
system. It is important to keep the engine cooling systems separate. If only one engine is installed, the oil coolers can be connected in
series/loop.
For extra cooling requirements, an optional external oil cooler can be
installed. To achieve maximum cooling effect in this cooler, the direction
of the oil flow in a oil cooler has to be opposite to the waterflow direction.
This oil cooler can be connected in series with the internal oil coolers.
