Installation
6.1 Single and Two Blade Systems
The basic EasiPump can be fed with grease from a range of spring pressure grease reservoirs. Similarly
single or pairs of running rail or check rail blades can be fitted to the output.
The basic installation procedure steps are:

Fit the EasiPump

Fit the reservoir

Fit the blades
This manual covers the basic principles required for pump and blades.
6.2 Fitting the Pump Rail Clamp, Flat Bottom Rail
6.2.1 Once the bed that the pump is to be fitted to has
been identified, lay the pump unit on the ballast
adjacent to the rail (on the cess side) and with the
pump hinged away from the rail.
6.2.2 With the pump body loose and hinged away from
the rail slide the rail clamp over the foot of the rail
from the cess / field side.
6.2.3 The hook bolt is fitted under the rail with the hook
clasping on the foot of the rail on the 4’ side with
the threaded part inserted through the hole at the
base of the clamp.
6.2.4 The washers and nut are then fitted to the hook bolt and fastened tight, the flat washer
and M16 Nyloc nut should be used.
6.2.5 Using the 1lb hammer strike the rail clamp on each upright lug to ensure it is fully bedded
on the rail foot. Tighten all fasteners.
6.3 Fitting the Pump Unit
6.3.1 Rotate the pump in relation to the rail clamp and set the top of the pump body against the
rail and 11mm below the crown of the head.
6.3.2 The pictures above show the requirement. Use the setting gauge LCS104-02 to achieve the
required height.
