Site Preparation
 To install an EasiPump, the ballast has to be cleared to allow the reservoir to be seated correctly in a
position, clear of the trains. There also needs to be sufficient clearance made in the ballast for the
feed hoses and the rail clamps that secure the pump and the two Blades.
 The equipment needed for this work is:
o
A shovel or ballast fork whichever one is the most suitable.
o
All relevant P.P.E. needed to carry out the works safely.
 The lubrication systems outlined are heavy and care should be taken in general safe mechanical
handling of the units to the install site. Two people should handle pump storage boxes and reservoirs,
carry kits are available for the reservoir.
