7. HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS (See Photos On Pages 21-23)
• Connect the cylinders to the pump unit with the appropriate length and pressure rated
hoses.
• Clean the areas around the fluid ports of the pump and cylinders.
• Clean all hose ends, couplers or union ends.
• Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic quick connects.
• Connect the hose assembly to the lift point hydraulic outlet, and connect the opposite
end of the hose to the cylinder.
• Throughout the entire lift operation, periodically check each connection for loose cou
-
plings, leaks, or problems.
8. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS (See Photos On Pages 22-24)
•
Connect the individual displacement sensor cables to the each sensor. Run the cable
back to the MCS and connect the cable to the appropriate lift point connector.
• Double check the reference between the displacement sensor and lifting point.
• Clean the areas around the electrical connections on the displacement sensors.
• Remove protective covers and clean all connectors with a dry cloth.
• Affix the screw connections to the displacement sensors.
• A power cord connector is provided with the MCS unit. Attach the connector to an ap
-
proprite sized electrical cable in conformance with all local and national electrical codes.
All work must be performed by a qualified electrican.
• Connect the control box power cord to an appropriate power source.
9. IMPORTANT:
Never run the pump on long, light gauge extension cords.
• To prevent equipment damage and a potentially hazardous condition, the correct
voltage is required for the pump to operate. Verify the voltage rating on the pump name
plate matches the outlet or power source you are using. Low voltage may cause: an
overheated motor; a motor that fails to start under load; motor surging when trying to
start; or a stalled motor before maximum pressure is reached. The motor nameplate can
be accessed by removing the motor shroud on top of the MCS unit.
NOTE:
After installing cylinders, hoses, sensors, and cables; have a second individual verify
each hose and sensor cable connection for - 1) correct lift point and - 2) confirm
connections are tight.
