• All connections to electrical components must be number, symbol, or color coded generally as recommended by
EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its superseding standard.
• Installers must provide hydraulic components that are capable of withstanding maximum source pressure.
• The working pressure must be controlled by a pressure relief valve that is adjusted to operate at a maximum
pressure of the hydraulic motor.
• For pumps with gas engines, the exhaust must be directed away from operator and anyone standing nearby
to ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter their breathing zone.
• If a rigid plumbing system is to be used on a Hypro roller pump, the system must be properly aligned with the
inlet and outlet ports.
• The working pressure must be controlled by a pressure relief valve that is adjusted to operate at 10% of the
maximum system pressure.
• When installing, adjusting or removing a Hypro roller pump, ensure that there are no objects which can fall
on the installer and make certain that all machinery to which the pump is to be attached is turned off.
• Pumps must be installed in a location where they are accessible for any necessary maintenance.
• When a main electrical supply is needed to power electric-drive motors, installers are responsible for
ensuring that a supply disconnect device, capable of isolating the machine from its electricity supply, be provided.
• When hydraulic power is used, the system should contain a quick disconnect coupling that can be broken to
isolate the pump.
Standard Mounting
In order to prevent injury or damage to property, all Hypro pumps should be properly mounted to a solid base where
there is no danger of the pump falling or breaking loose. All Hypro pumps come with mounting holes, which allow bolts
to be put into the pump so it can be secured to a sturdy base. When mounting your Hypro roller pump, be sure to use
bolts and nuts which are compatible with any chemicals that may come into contact with them as well as choosing the
correct grade of bolt based on the pump weight and any expected loads.
Tractor PTO Installation
The preferred method for mounting the torque arm (3430-0540) and pump to a tractor is with the chains going up to
provide support for the pump (see Figure 2).
1. Attach the torque arm to the pump with the long side of the arm on the inlet side of the pump for mounting.
2. Mount the pump and torque arm to the PTO shaft using a Hypro series 1320, 1321 or 1323 coupler.
3. Attach the torque chain to the tractor frame with arm in horizontal position.
4. Attach the tensioning chain to the tractor frame while applying tension to the spring.
Do not attach torque arm to movable linkages.
Personnel should never be within 3 meters (9 ft.) of the pump while in operation.
