Assembly and Operating Instructions
High pressure test pumps are easy to use and can be used by anyone without undue fatigue.
Pumps should be assembled as follows, using PTFE tape on all threads to ensure air tight connections.
1. Screw suction pipe into the base of the pump.
2. Mount the pump on the bridge of the tank.
3. Screw in the valve unit, ensuring the connection hole for the gauge tube is opposite the outlet and is
vertical.
4. Screw the gauge tube.
5. Mount gauge.
6. Connect hose.
7. Check all connections are tight.
8. Fill tank with enough water, or oil mixed with water, to cover suction pipe inlet and check pump operation.
9. Connect the pump to the appliance.
10. If necessary re-seal any threads which show signs of leakage.
11. If pump refuses to prime, pour liquid into the outlet to wet the valve area.
12. To start test, close the discharge valve and open the flow-valve. There are two handwheels on the control
valve block for these two valve. A light alternating movement of the handle creates a steady flow of liquid
after a few initial priming strokes; keep up the movement which gradually becomes stiffer until the desired
pressure is read on the gauge.
13. Next close the discharge valve, isolating the appliance being tested. To end the operation, open both
valves and surplus liquid will run back into the tank via the drain hole in the valve control block.
Instructions for Use
Instructions for Use
Manual hydraulic high pressure test pump are piston type, two-stage (high and low pressure), self-priming and
double acting.
ASSEMBLY
Before you start any operation of pump, make sure that all the accessories has been fitted correctly: suction tube
with nut and filter, manual lever, pressure gauge and pressure gauge supply, delivery hose for high pressure
(usually not included).
In order to favour the immediate reading during the test, orient the pressure gauge in the direction of the
operator. Remember to apply the seals necessary to all components.
Since there are threads, it will be necessary to interpose those products that prevent any leakage: PTFE (Teflon)
tape or in liquid or fillets paste.
