Vickers 4535V-60A25/60A30/60A35/60A38 series hydraulic double vane pump oil pump 4535V-60A32-86CC22R Start-up Procedure Make sure the reservoir and circuit are clean and free of dirt/debris prior to filling with hydraulic fluid. Fill the reservoir with filtered oil and fill to a level sufficient enough to prevent vortexing at suction connection to pump inlet. It is good practice to clean up the system by flushing and filtering using an external slave pump. Before starting the pump, fill with fluid through one of the ports. This is particularly important if the pump is above the fluid level of the reservoir. When initially starting the pump, remove all trapped air from the system. This can be accomplished by loosening the pump outlet fittings or connections before starting the pump or by using an air bleed valve. All inlet connections must be tight to prevent air leaks. Once the pump is started it should prime within a few seconds. If the pump does not prime, check to make sure that there are no restrictions between the reservoir and the inlet to the pump, and that there are no air leaks in the inlet line and connections. Also check to make sure that trapped air can escape at the pump outlet. After the pump is primed, tighten the loose outlet connections, then operate for five to ten minutes unloaded to remove all trapped air from the circuit. If reservoir has a sight gage, make sure the fluid is clear – not milky. Add fluid to the reservoir to bring it up to the proper fill leve |
