2 Instructions for use
2.1. How to test a high pressure pump to see if it works
1. Check if the pressure gauges F and I are intact and control the position of the indicators.
Both indicators should be on zero.
2. Control the oil level (by locking at oil level controller E).
3. If the oil level is too low, fill in oil and follow these instructions:
3.1. Choose the quality of the oil according to the instructions on sign H.
3.2. Open the oil admission socket D to fill in the oil by turning to the left.
3.3. Fill in the oil until the oil level controller E indicates that the tank has been filled up three
quarters (¾).
3.4. Now close the oil admission socket D by turning it to the right.
4. Close the pressure relief valve B and turn it to the right as far as it will go.
5. Now turn lever A (=start lever) into position II.
6. Connect the compressed air-tube to the compressed-air connection G.
BE CAREFULL: never use more than the maximum of 15 bar!
7. Pull and turn the pressure control valve C to the right as far as it will go (until you feel a
resistance).
8. Check the air pressure on the pressure gauge I (There should be an air pressure of at least
6 bar).
9. Put start lever A into position I.
10. The pump starts working and should build up a pressure of up to 2.500 bar (if it doesn’t,
please check the air pressure).
11. When the oil pressure gauge F shows a pressure of 2.500 bar turn lever A back into position
II.
12. The pressure shown on oil pressure gauge F shouldn’t fall. This means that the pump is in
working order.
13. Open the relief valve B by turning it to the left.
14. The pressure shown on oil pressure gauge F now drops to 0 bar.
2.2. How to work with the high pressure pump
Start again with position 1. to 6.
Now pull and turn on the relief valve C to get the right oil pressure: 2 bar air pressure ≈500 bar oil
pressure. Then connect the high pressure tubes to the hose connection K.
Continue with position 9. to 14. Remove the high pressure tubes from the hose connection K when
you are finished.
BE CAREFULL: Hydraulic tubes can only be attached or removed if the relief valve E is
open. The oil pressure gauge A has then dropped to 0 bar.
