4 Transport & storage

This chapter describes how to transport, and if
necessary, store the HPU.

4.1 Safety precautions

Always check that the HPU is disconnected from its
power source and hydraulic before transporting
and storing the HPU.

See for more information safety precautions in

chapter 2.

4.2 Transport preparation

4.2.1 Take the system out of service

To depressurize the entire hydraulic system:
1. Turn the main power off.
2. Check if all connected machinery is in a safe position.

All connected machinery must be in such a

position that they will not be able to move when the
oil is drained.

4.2.2 Draining the oil from the hydraulic system

While draining the oil from the hydraulic system oil will flow back from the connected
machinery and piping. The total amount of oil to be drained from the system will thus
exceed the capacity of the reservoir of the Hydraulic Power Unit.

Make sure that the volume of the oil storage

reservoir is sufficient!

Make sure that the reservoir in which the oil is to

be kept is clean! Contaminated oil will damage
your hydraulics seriously.
Manual

Page 18
Document number: N40-10169
HPU Version date: October 19th, 2015

Never drain oil from the HPU while it is still in

service.

To drain the hydraulic system:

1. Connect the suction hose of a pump to the drain valve.
2. Put the pressure hose of the filling pump into an empty and clean barrel.
3. Open the drain valve and pump the oil from the reservoir into the barrel until the
reservoir is empty.
Immediately clean up spilled oil.

4. Close the drain valve.

If needed, more oil can be drained from the system

by opening the highest point in the piping system.
The relevant valves need to be opened to let the oil
flow to reservoir.

4.2.3 Disconnecting the piping

Make sure all the oil is drained from the system

before disconnecting the couplings.

To disconnect the piping:

1. Disconnect the pressure and return lines from the the hydraulic power unit.
2. Close off the manifolds, oil lines and other equipment by means of a dust cap.

Make sure that no dirt enters the hydraulic system

when disconnecting the piping.

4.3 Transport
Never hoist or transport a hydraulic power unit
that is filled with oil.

Refer to paragraph 4.2.2 for instruction on how to drain the oil from the hydraulic
system.

4.3.1 Hoisting instructions

For hoisting the HPU the following points should be noticed:
• The unit must be lifted using the 4 corner hoisting eyes of the frame.
• Be aware that hoisting ropes do not damage any components of the hydraulic
unit.
• Use a spreader to direct tension forces not less than 20% off the vertical
direction.
• Do not hoist the hydraulic unit when the reservoir is filled with oil.
• Be aware of the centre of gravity while hoisting.

The weight of the HPU can be found in annex 1 -

’Technical specifications’.

4.3.2 Storage
When storing the HPU it must be placed in a room which complies to the following
requirements:
• The room must be dry and have a relative humidity of 45-75%.
• The ambient temperature of the storage area must be between -10 and 40°C for
hydraulic components. In case of electronic components the storage
temperature should be at least 0oC.
• The room where the machine or parts of the machine are stored must be free
from dust otherwise the hydraulic components must be sealed with plastic foil.

HPU Version date: October 19th, 2015

In case the hydraulic power unit and the equipment will be stored for more than 3
months prior to installation, it is strongly recommended to take following measures to
prevent problems:
• For systems in which hydraulic fluid is used, it is recommended to fill the oil
equipment with fluid. By opening the suction isolation valves, each pump should
be filled with oil. It is recommended to use a special additive, such as Shell VSI-
concentrate. This additive should be used in a concentration of approximately 3%
to the mineral oil and protects the metal parts inside components for corrosion,
even if the components are not completely filled with oil. For detailed instructions
it is necessary to contact the oil supplier.

Do not completely fill the equipment because of

temperature changes.

• Inside the hydraulic power unit, measures have to be taken to prevent dirt from
entering the system. Especially the top side of the reservoir has to be protected.
The filling valve of the system has to be covered completely with dust caps. Loose
pumps have to be stored in a water and air tight plastic bag. It is preferred to use
the original VCI-bag.
• Hydraulic components may be stored up to 24 months from manufacturing date if
the bag has been opened;

Hydraulic components must be filled with fresh oil

before being used after storage.

If the HPU is stored for over a year, extra measurements are needed. Please contact
Parker Hannifin VAS Netherlands B.V. in case longer conservation is needed. Without
extra measurements warrantee could not be ensured.

5 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the HPU.

5.1 Safety precautions

After installing always check the functioning of the
HPU before putting the HPU into use or before
carrying out any operation on the HPU.

After installing, always check that the safety

provisions on the HPU are available and
functioning in accordance with the Machine
Directive (2006/42/EC).

All the connections to the HPU may only be made

by qualified personnel.

See for more information safety precautions in

chapter 2.

5.1.1 Cavitation
Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles of a flowing liquid in a region where the
pressure of the liquid falls below its vapor pressure. Such cavitation often occurs in
control valves, pumps. Since the shock waves formed by cavitation are strong enough
to significantly damage moving parts, cavitation is a devastating phenomenon in
hydraulics.

Do not run a motor pump combination with a too

low oil level or with an isolation valve (partly)
closed. This will involve cavitation and damage the
pump, even after a short run-time with low oil
supply.

7 Maintenance
This chapter described how to maintain the
HPU.

7.1 Safety precautions

Only qualified personnel is authorized to carry out
maintenance procedures on the HPU.

Make sure the machine is switched off completely

and the power supply is locked before carrying out
any maintenance activities.

Make sure the hydraulic system is completely de-

pressurized before carrying out any maintenance
activities.

After disconnecting any part immediately block

open ports with clean plastic plugs, tape or
magnetic strips to prevent dirt infiltrating the
hydraulic system.

Only use absorbing paper that does not leave any

particles to clean hydraulic components.

Never return to the system any oil which has

leaked out.
