Pressurizing the pedestal using the Vinten portable pump
To pressurize the pedestal using the Vinten portable pump, proceed as follows:
Set the safety catch slide
to ON (I) and fully depress the moving column
until the
safety catch engages.
On the pump, fold down both the feet
.
Push in the handle release button
and move the handle
to the horizontal posi-
tion, where it will lock.
Pull the hose
out of its stowage
. Connect the hose to the pedestal charging
valve.
Position the pump between the legs, standing with both feet on the fold-down feet
Grip the handle
with both hands and, using full steady strokes, pressurize the pedestal
to the required pressure. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure, indicated by the
leading edge of the red sector on the gauge
.
Disconnect the hose
from the pedestal charging valve, but do not refit the Schrader
valve cap at this stage. Fit the hose in its stowage
.
Push the pump plunger fully down, push in the handle release button
and move the
to the vertical position, where it will lock the pump plunger in the closed posi-
tion.
Fold up both the feet
.
WARNING! Do not pressurize the pedestal beyond the maximum safe work-
ing pressure indicated by the leading edge of the red sector on
the gauge. The pedestal is fitted with a pressure relief valve as a
safeguard against over-pressurization.
Do not attempt to adjust the pressure relief valve.
