Pump / Reservoir Installation
7.1
Two Blade & Four Blade Systems
Two blade systems are generally installed with running rail blades on the high rail with pump / reservoir
also generally on that rail. Four blade systems are generally installed ahead of a series of reversing curves
with two blades on each rail.
Installation of components from either system is covered in this manual but with notes on four blade
installation directly below.
7.1.1
4 Blade Systems
Typical layout is shown in the following images;
one pair of blades to the right of the pump /
reservoir and on the same rail and the second
pair of blades on the far rail and to the left of the
pump / reservoir.
Each pair of blades has a ‘T’ piece midway
between the blades and the hose from the T’s
vertical leg routes to each of the pump bodies.
The hose between each blade and the T must be
of identical length.
Plunger heights are generally set to 1mm (see 7.7) on 4 blade systems.
7.1.2
2 Blade Systems
A typical layout has blades to the right of the pump / reservoir and one to the left on the same
rail.
The hose runs from each blade to the nearest pump body.
Plunger heights are generally set to 0.5mm (see 7.7) on 2 blade systems.
