Pump receiving
NOTE!
Each pump is shipped from the factory with the gearbox sealed. Prior to
operation, check the oil level and replace the uppermost oil drain plug with the supplied
oil fill breather. See chapter 7.2:
“Lubrication”
for oil type and quantity.
All ports are covered at the factory to keep out foreign objects during transit. If covers are
missing or damaged, remove the pump cover for a thorough inspection of the fluid head. Be
sure that the pumping head is clean and free of foreign material before rotating the shaft.
