4.5 Hydraulic Supply
Drive
The battery-operated tools are powered by an 18 V DC motor. When the tool is switched on,
the motor idles. Only when the rocker switch is operated does the motor start to run at a
higher speed.
Pump
The hydraulic pressure is generated by a high pressure hydraulic pump (in the pump unit). The
pump is a radial piston pump with 4 pump elements. The pressure is applied directly to the
working cylinder, which renders the connection lines redundant.
Oil Reservoir
The oil volume for operation is taken from a tank. The entire hydraulic system is therefore
completely closed and free of air. The tank compensates for volume expansion caused by heat.
Hydraulic Oil
All battery-powered tools should use a special hydraulic oil for rescue equipment in accordance
with WN61000137. The oil does not usually need to be changed, but we recommend changing
it after 10 years. An oil change can only be carried out by means of factory servicing at Genesis
Rescue Systems or an authorized service partner.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to carry out repairs on the hydraulic system!
The complete hydraulic system is designed as a closed circuit and must
therefore be completely free of air. For this reason, do not attempt to carry
out repairs on the drive, to ensure that no air can enter the system!
