If you have a TS-1 or TS-3 Hydraulic Testing Screen,
examine and test the hydraulic system for leaks�
1. Remove the ve screws that secure the external pump
cover to the top, then lift the cover o󰀨 (Fig. 3).
2. Observe the position of the internal pump cover before
you remove it� Its vent is slightly closer to the front
(handle) end of the pump than to the back� Gilson
recommends using a marker or other means to mark the
operator side of the cover to ensure correct orientation
during reassembly�
3. Check the oil level in the pump� It should be 1/4in from
the top of the reservoir� If not, refer to instructions for
replacing hydraulic oil on page 14� Reinstall the external
pump cover�
Verify Power Requirements
Verify that the Testing Screen is wired as ordered and
appropriate for your power source�
Standard Testing Screens are driven by a 115V/60Hz,
1/2hp electric motor requiring 12-15 amps to operate.
A dedicated 20 amp circuit is recommended. Machines
with model numbers ending in “F” are congured to
operate on 230V/50Hz.
• Locate the voltage label on the back of the Testing
Screen, and check to be sure that the machine is wired
as ordered�
• Make sure your electrical power source is of a like
conguration.
• Make sure the Testing Screen and your electrical power
source are properly grounded�
• Make sure the power switch (located on right, vertical
surface of the top cover) is in the OFF position�
Testing Screen Power OFF:
• GREEN button OUT
• RED button IN
