10.3 Filling / bleeding the pump
Before initial start-up, the pump should be lled with pressure uid and bled.
Pump installation below the uid level:
1. Open the shutoff valves in the suction piping.
2. Open the bleeder screws on the end cover. If connected to a pump from a
different manufacturer, open the bleeder screw on the intermediate housing.
3. Close the bleeder screw again as soon as oil is discharged.
Pump installation above the uid level:
1. If the suction piping connection is bove or to the side, ll the pump with oil
through this opening as much as possible.
Bleeder screws must only be opened in order to bleed the system, and must
be closed before starting and operating the pump. Operating the pump while
the bleeder screws are open will damage the pump.
10.4 Bleeding the system
The pump must be able to start up in a depressurized state, i.e. without back
pressure. If any resistance, for example a check valve, with a charging pressure
of >1 bar is included in the delivery pipe, the pipe must be bled between the pump
pressure connection and this resistance. A measuring connection or a suitable bleed
valve can be used.

If the suction port is situated below and the pressure uid level is below the pump,
take special care during the bleed process!
