5.0 Installation/Setup
5.1 Before First Use
1. Immediately after unpacking, examine the pump for signs of transit damage and if found contact the
shipping company.
2. Remove the temporary transit fitting / plate which is fitted in the position of the oil filler breather cap
(7) and fit the oil filler breather cap which is packed separately.
3. Establish the oil level in the oil reservoir using the level gauges (8). Depending on the shipping
method used, the reservoir may either be supplied full or empty. If the reservoir is empty, it must be
correctly filled before use (See section 5.2). If the pump was supplied full of oil, no further action is
required.
IMPORTANT:
Running the pump without oil will result in damage.
CAUTION:
Ensure the oil level does not fall below the minimum level as shown by the level gauge
(8) or the oil level on the dipstick (7) measures more than 180mm from the underside
of the filler breather cap (7).
4. Ensure the lever of the hydraulic directional control valve (3) is set to the neutral position: This is
fully anti-clockwise for models with a 2-way valve, or the central position for models with a 3-way or
4-way valve.
5. Make sure that the voltage indicated on the motor rating plate corresponds with the available supply.
6. Connect the motor to required power source. (See section 5.3)
7.
Check the direction of rotation of the motor by pressing the green ‘ON’ button (1), then immediately
pressing the red ‘OFF’ button. While doing this observe the motor fan. The motor should run in a
clockwise direction when viewed from above. If the motor turns anti-clockwise, check the wiring of
the electrical connector.
CAUTION:
Running the pump with the motor turning in the incorrect direction may damage the low-
pressure pump unit.
8. The pump is fitted with an adjustable pressure relief valve (5) to restrict the output capacity to any
desired value, up to the maximum working capacity of the press. (See section 6.1)
