Pre-Installation Checks

This chapter is a general description of pre-installation checks that needs to be done on the SP2000 pump in order to ensure its continued use.

In case of any concerns about the standard of the equipment or the information in this document, please contact the local Atlas Copco sales representative.

Hydraulic connection

Check the main quick disconnect hydraulic outlet for any dirt ingress. Any ingress must be carefully removed. In case of any concerns about its condition or operation, replace the main quick disconnect hydraulic outlet.
Check that the locking ring functions correctly.
Check the main hydraulic connection for correct connection and operation to a mating connection. If the connection is difficult to make up, or remove, replace the main hydraulic connection.

Hydraulic gauge

Check that the needle on hydraulic gauge reads zero when the hydraulic pump pressure is zero. In case of any doubt about its operation, re-calibrate or replace the hydraulic gauge.
If the front glass is cracked, or if glycerin is leaking, or has leaked, replace the gauge.

Electrical plug socket and cable

The cable must be free from any cuts or tears. No wires should be exposed along its length.
The cable must be securely connected at each end to the pump unit and plug.
In case of any concerns about the security of the cable, or plug socket, replaced the cable or the plug socket.

Communication cable connections

The connections must be secure to the electrical enclosure, without any wiring exposed.
The cable must be free from any cuts or tears. No wires should be exposed along its length.

Oil filler cap

When the pump is in use, use the orange filler cap. The orange cap is breathable allowing air to escape and to eradicate any pressure build up within the oil reservoir.
When the pump is not in use, or when it is transported, use the black filler cap. The black cap is a blanking cap that seals off the oil filling tube and prevents oil spillage.

Frame

Wiping the frame down occasionally can help in identifying any issues.
The hoisting point at the rear of the frame must be without corrosion.
The hoisting point must move freely.
The hoisting point must be secure in its position.

Motor / Powerpack

A general periodic wiping down of the powerpack will help in identifying any issues.
It is extremely important to use the correct grade of oil in order to protect the internal pumping elements of the powerpack.
It is advisable to indicate the oil type/grade that is used by adding an identification label to the assembly.
Do not tamper with the high pressure relief valve and make sure that it has the locking wire in place, see the picture below. The high pressure relief valve is the safety protection valve that prevents the powerpack from being over pressurized.
