Installation
Echion Operator Manual 810770 149
Requirements
Location
Install the pump on a solid, flat surface that can hold the weight of the equipment and is thick
enough to resist vibration.
Make sure that there is sufficient space for auxiliary equipment such as a water softener, a reverse
osmosis system, or a chiller.
High altitude or ambient conditions can have an effect on the temperature of hydraulic fluid. Fluid
that is too cool is thick, which causes increased friction and poor lubrication. Fluid that is too hot is
thin, which can accelerate wear on the parts, increase the formation of sludge, degrade the fluid,
and decrease its lubrication and protective qualities.
Refer to Environmental conditions on page 136 for air temperature and humidity specifications.
Cooling
If the cooling water or the supply water temperature is higher than24°C(75°F), cool the water
before use. Water that is too warm can shorten high-pressure seal life.
Hydraulic fluid
Refer to Hydraulic fluid on page 136 for specifications.
WARNING
Some locations can be dangerous if the atmosphere contains explosive gas, vapors, or dust.
Refer to requirements from the National Electric Code (NEC), the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other
national and local codes for information about environmental criteria.
Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of91cm(36inches) on all sides of the equipment.
This lets air movement help cool the machine and keeps space available for doing maintenance
and repairs.
Do not install this equipment in an area where the temperature is below freezing. Freezing can
cause damage to the pump.
If this pump is installed in a small space or in a high-temperature location, consider adding a
chiller to the system for supplemental cooling. Use the Cooling table on page 149 to calculate
the cooling load.
Hypertherm does not ship all pumps with hydraulic fluid in the tank.
