HyPrecision Predictive waterjet pump Operator Manual 810120 197
9 – Installation
Installation
Requirements
Location
Put the equipment on a flat surface, such as concrete, that can hold the weight of the equipment and is thick
enough to resist vibration. The feet on the frame can be adjusted to level the pump with two 1-1/8-inch
open-ended wrenches.
Make sure that there is sufficient space for auxiliary equipment such as a water softener, a reverse osmosis
system, or a chiller.
Temperature
For temperature specifications, refer to Environmental conditions on page 178.
Ambient temperature can have an effect on cooling. Supplementary cooling can be necessary for a pump that is
installed in a small or high-temperature location.
Cooling
Chiller
Using a chiller with a water-glycol solution can have an effect on the performance of the heat exchanger.
Hydraulic fluid
For hydraulic fluid specifications, refer to Hydraulic fluid on page 178.
Hypertherm does not always ship the pump with hydraulic fluid in the tank.
WARNING
Some locations can be dangerous if the atmosphere contains gas, vapors, or dust in explosive
quantities. 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 of 91 cm (36 inches) on all sides of the equipment to
permit air movement for cooling and space for maintenance and repairs.
Do not install this equipment in an area where the temperature is below freezing. Freezing can
cause damage to low-pressure and high-pressure water parts.
