Item Description
• Long term storage Long term storage of more than 1 year is not recommended.
If installed in a machine, operate it occasionally.
If in stock inventory, rotate the pump shaft occasionally.
If in storage more than 1 year consider overhaul.
• Rotating direction Rotating direction of pump is depicted on the name plate.
Precautions
Item Cautions
• Lubrication Fill the pump casing through P1, P2 delivery ports with the specified
hydraulic oil.
Following repair or replacement of the pump it is necessary to pre-lubricate
the internal components to prevent scoring, scuffing, seizure of the bearing
and sliding parts.
• Air purging Following hydraulic system repairs, purge the air from the pump circuit by
loosening the upper plug in the pump casing.
Start-up
Check that there is no contamination in the ports or plumbing before connecting to the pump.
Check the direction of rotation and the suction/delivery direction.
Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank.
At initial start-up run the engine at idle to purge the air in the circuit.
Check for oil leakage on the pump assembly.
Check for abnormal sound or vibration.
Check for any abnormal temperature increase after running for a short time.
General precautions
Determine the nature of the abnormality, before disassembling. Especially, check if the problem is in the circuit, or

The pump is usually fitted with a regulator, auxiliary valves or an auxiliary pump, so it may be difficult to find the cause
of failure. Check the following principal items, to identify the abnormality.
Check the filter elements for abnormal impurities. As the shoes and cylinder wear, a small quantity of metal particles
may be detected. However, if a considerable amount of metal particles are found, the shoes may be damaged.
Similarly, check the drain oil in the pump casing.
Check the pump for abnormal sound and vibration. If any, check if it is a noise of regular frequency, such as hunting of
the regulator or the relief valve. If it is an abnormal vibration or sound, it may result from cavitation or damage inside
the pump.
For the circuit with two single pumps or a tandem double pump, exchange the piping of one pump with that of the other
one. With the results of this exchange, it will be determined if the trouble is with the pump or a component downstream
of the pump.
If the failure is a problem in control, do not overhaul the pump needlessly, but measure pressures at various points in
the circuit.
When a part exceeds any of the following criteria, replace or readjust it. However, when a part is damaged seriously in
appearance, replace it without fail.
