Overview
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to
yourself or others, read the Safety instructions
section found on the previous pages of this
manual before operating the machine.
Design and function
The Atlas Copco LP 13-30 P is a hydraulic power
pack designed for operating hydraulic breakers
and other hydraulic machines. No other use is
permitted.
LP 13-30 P is fitted with an air cooled 13 HP
Honda petrol engine with hydraulic POD system
(power on demand).
LP 13-30 P provides a oil flow of 20-30 l.p.m. (5-8
US gal/min).
The torque of the engine is reduced when reducing
the r.p.m. The power pack can therefore not in all
cases deliver the maximum pressure at low r.p.m.

WARNING Whipping hydraulic hose
Hydraulic hoses under pressure can whip
uncontrollably if screws loosen or are loosened. A
whipping hydraulic hose can cause severe injuries.
►Depressurise the hydraulic system before
loosening the connection of a hydraulic hose.
►Tighten the nuts on the connections of the
hydraulic hoses to the required torque.
►Check that the hydraulic hose and the
connections are not damaged.
Quick-release couplings
The original hydraulic hoses are fitted with Flat-
Face quick-release couplings that are strong and
easy to clean. The quick-release couplings are
fitted so that the male connection supplies oil and
the female connection receives oil.
NOTICE Wipe all couplings clean before
connecting. Ensure that couplings are clean and
correctly engaged before operation. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the quick couplings
and cause overheating and cause foreign matter to
enter the hydraulic system.

Hydraulic oil
In order to protect the environment, use of
biologically degradable hydraulic oil is
recommended. No other fluids must be used.
◆Viscosity (preferred) 20-40 cSt.
◆Viscosity (permitted) 15-100 cSt.
◆Viscosity index minimum 100.
Standard mineral or synthetic oil can be used.
Make sure to only use clean oil and filling
equipment.
When the machine is used continuously, the oil
temperature will stabilise at a level which is called
the working temperature. This will, depending on
the type of work and the cooling capacity of the
hydraulic system, be between 20-40°C (68-104°F)
above the ambient temperature. At working
temperature, the oil viscosity must be within the
preferred limits. The viscosity index indicates the
connection between viscosity and temperature. A
high viscosity is therefore preferred, because the
oil can then be used within a wider temperature
range. The machine must not be used, if oil
viscosity fails to remain within the permitted area,
or if the working temperature of the oil does not fall
between 20°C (68°F) and 70°C (158°F).
NOTICE The setting of the pressure relief valve
on the machine can in some cases be higher than
the prescribed maximum setting according to the
EHTMA category, see "EHTMA category". A too
high pressure relief valve setting can harm the
machine to be used. Readjust the pressure relief
valve, if the technical specifications of the machine
prescribe a lower pressure relief valve setting than
the standard setting of the machine.
Hydraulic control and
connectors
The by-pass valve (C) must be in the OFF position
when starting and in the ON position when using
the machine.
Connectors (G) and (H) are used to connect the
power pack to the machine as follows:
◆Connector (G) = Return (female quick-release
coupling).
◆Connector (H) = Feed (male quick-release
coupling).
Hoses and connections
Ensure that the machine you plan to use is
compatible with the model of power pack being
used. Otherwise, both the power pack and the
machine might be harmed. Check the "Technical
data" in this instruction book and compare the flow
rate with the technical specifications in the
instruction book for the machine.
Connecting hoses
1. Turn the by-pass valve to the OFF position and
stop the engine.
2. Make sure the couplings are clean and
serviceable.
3. Attach the return line hose and the feed line
hose.
4. Start the engine and run the power pack to fill
up the hydraulic circuit. Check the hydraulic oil
level.
Disconnecting hoses
1. Turn the by-pass valve to the OFF position and
stop the engine.
2. Remove the feed line hose and the return line
hose.
The couplings are unlocked by moving the collar
back on the coupling.
Hose length
For power packs giving a flow of 20 l.p.m. (5 US
gal/min), a maximum hose length of 21 m (69 ft) is
recommended. For power packs giving a higher
flow, a maximum hose length of 14 m (46 ft) is
recommended.
Normally, 7 m (23 ft) of Twin hose is used for the
power pack.
Twin hoses and other accessories are shown in
the spare parts list.

◆The engine oil should be replaced after the first
8 hours of operation and thereafter in
accordance with the maintenance schedule in
the engine manufacturer's operating and
maintenance instructions.
Check hydraulic oil filter
When the filter gauge needle remains in the red
sector (while the engine is idling and the oil is at
service temperature), the filter must be replaced.
1. Stop the engine, switch off by-pass valve.
2. The old filter is removed by turning it clockwise
(use a filter strap wrench if necessary).
3. Tilting the power pack rearwards will minimise
oil spillage.
4. Before mounting the new filter, it is
recommended to grease the surface of the seal
with oil in order to ease tightening of the filter.
Every three months
◆Check tightness of nuts, bolts, screws and hose
fittings.
◆Clean the air cleaner element, see engine
manufacturer's handbook.
Every 300 hours or every
year
◆Change the hydraulic oil.
◆Wash the hydraulic tank.
◆Change the hydraulic oil filter.
◆For engine maintenance, see engine
manufacturer's handbook.

Storage
◆Empty the tank before storing the machine.
◆Check that the machine is properly cleaned
before putting it away for storage.
◆Store the machine in a dry place.
◆We recommend to store the machine in a
standing position. If stored in a lying position,
the machine must be placed on the back cover.
◆Keep the machine and tools in a safe place, out
of the reach of children and locked up.
Disposal
A used machine must be treated and deposed of in
such a way that the greatest possible portion of the
material can be recycled and any negative
influence on the environment is kept as low as
possible, and in respect to local restrictions.
Before a petrol driven machine is deposited it must
be emptied and cleaned of all oil and petrol.
Remaining oil and petrol must be dealt with in a
way that does not affect the environment.
