3. Preventive maintenance
To get the best results and safest operation from
pumps, we recommend that you carry out the
following checks before connecting the pump to the
application:
• General state and cleanliness of the equipment
• Any excessive play in the movement of the
handle
• Oil leaks
• Operating efficiency of the relief valve
• Damaged or badly fitted accessories
If any products are found to be damaged or
defective, mark them clearly and store them in a
specially designated area for unsuitable material.
Consider using the SKF repair service to get it back
in good working order.
4. Assembly and operating
instructions
The pump has a stop lever clip to lock the handle.
Do not transport the product without locking the
handle
(† fig. 4).
4.1 Positioning
Place the pump in a horizontal position where it is
stable and its feet are all in contact with the surface
it is standing on. Make sure there is enough space to
operate the handle over the complete handle stroke.
4.2 Oil
Remove the oil filler plug to check the oil level.
(† fig. 5). Make sure there is sufficient oil to
complete the operation. Use the appropriate oil as
described in chapter 3. The oil filler plug also works
as a safety valve. In the event that too much oil is
returned to the pump reservoir, the plug will leak
the superfluous oil to ensure that the reservoir is
not over-pressurised.
