Ensure that an inclination angle of 20° in every direction is not exceeded whilst the
pump is operating. Otherwise there is a risk that the air filter of the engine could be
contaminated by engine oil.
4.1 Overview
With almost all power units, two devices can be operated simultaneously (in fact
three in the case of the E/V – TriPPPle-T!), or one device in turbo mode. Two hose
pairs, each 20 m long, are located on the rapid deployment reels. These can be
easily rolled out even when pressurised.
22 | Structure and function
Hoses
The connection of the device with the power unit is carried out via high pressure
hoses. Hoses are available in lengths of 5 m, 10 m and 20 m. As the length of the
lines increases so too does the associated pressure loss. With a line length of 50
metres this pressure loss remains acceptable and has no significant effect.
CAUTION!
Do not use damaged hoses!
Therefore:
»» The hoses should be subjected to a visual inspection (leak-
tightness, surface damage such as kinks) after every use and
at least once per year.
Hydraulic oil
All power units are designed and tested for WEBER hydraulic oil Part no. 804932.
This oil possesses a particularly high purity level and also works flawlessly at
temperatures below zero, down to -20° C.
NOTE !
In addition to the oil mentioned above we recommend:
SINGLE coupling
Connecting:
Remove the protective cap from the coupling male and the coupling female (Fig. 1).
Conflate Single coupling male and female in the bayonet catch (Fig. 2). Hold coupling
female on the black slew ring and turn clockwise until the coupling snaps in (Fig. 3).
Put protective caps together (Fig. 4). You don’t have to switch the power unit to
position 0 to connect or disconnect the coupling!
Disconnecting:
Remove the protective caps. Hold coupling female on the black slew ring and turn
anticlockwise direction. Turn the black slew ring until you can release the coupling
easily. Put protective caps to coupling male and the coupling female.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
NOTE !
When using the SINGLE coupling, pressure relief connectors are no
longer required.
Structure and function | 25
Connecting:
Remove the protective cap from the coupling male. Take hold of the coupling
female by the knurled sleeve cover and pull out the protective plug. With one hand
take hold of sleeve cover of the coupling female, with the other grasp the coupling
male (black) by the hex nut, and press the sleeve cover slightly against the coupling
male until the ball bearings engage. Twisting the male coupling slightly when pressing
togehter eases the coupling process.
Disconnecting:
Grasp the coupling male (black) by the hex nut with one hand and with the other
take hold of the sleeve cover and draw it back. The disconnecting will cause a few
drops of hydraulic oil to escape. Plug in the protective caps immediately.
CAUTION!
When coupling SKS connections the power unit operating lever
must be in the „0“ position.
NOTE !
A pressure relief connector is fitted to the hydraulic power
units and the hand pump, with which a few drops of oil can be
discharged from the hoses. This permits re-coupling following
pressure increases in de-coupled equipment.
In this case simply insert the pressure relief connector into the
coupling sleeve and turn the knurled screw to the right until oil
leaks out.
26 | Operation
5 Operation
5.1 General
To start the power unit with an electrical engine connect the equipment to an
electrical power supply. Then set the main switch to the „1“ position.
The details of any special steps required to start the power units follow separately.
CAUTION!
When using SKS couplings the engine must never be started before
the control lever is out of the „0“ position and the work equipment
is connected! With single couplings this is not necessary.
Simultaneous operation:
In order to supply both hose pairs simultaneously
(with split oil flow), the left control lever must be turned
to the left and the right control lever must be turned to
the right.
NOTE!
The oil flow is likewise split if one lever is operated and the other
remains in the „0“ position. It is therefore necessary to operate
both control levers for the turbo function.
Single operation:
In order to supply a hose line with oil the
corresponding control lever must be moved
to the arrow position. The other two remain
in the „0“ position.
Simultaneous operation:
In order to supply all three hose pairs
simultaneously, all three control levers
must be turned to the arrow position.
28 | Operation
To start the unit press the On/Off switch on the housing or the strap (Fig. 1).
The On/Off switch then lights up green.
Fig. 1
The product is supplied with one battery and you can purchase a second battery to
double the unit‘s operating time. You can operate the unit with one battery or with
two batteries operating in parallel (batteries are then drained parallel as well). The
battery is inserted into the battery compartment. Simultaneously pressing the unlo-
cking mechanism releases the battery from the unit.
Operation | 29
Fig. 2 Fig. 3
5.6 V EcoSilent
To start the power unit the yellow ECO lever must first be set to the start position
(„S“). Then turn the the ignition switch (rotary switch) to the right to „Choke“ and
start the engine with the pull-chord. After warming up turn the
ignition switch to position „1“ and set the ECO lever to „ECO“.
Control
In order to control the outputs, two control levers are fitted
directly above the couplings. It is possible to control the oil flow
with these (by sliding to the side; similar to E/V 50-T).
Fuel tap
When transporting the power unit for an extended period the
fuel feed can be shut off. In order to do so it is necessary to
close the fuel tap (red). This is located under the maintenance
cover on the pull-chord side.
Petrol tank
The petrol tank can be filled via the filling port under the
black cover flap on the top side of the device. The fuel
level can be seen on the display on the operator panel.
