/h C2 series pumps are tested in the factory with Alcatel
113 oil.
At delivery, there is some oil remaining in the functional block.
Our pumps are tested in the factory with Alcatel oil: it is recommended
to use the same oil during operation. To change the type of oil, refer to
the Maintenance Chapter, "replacement of type of oil" section.
In all cases, follow the recommendations of the pump specifier for the choice
of oil to be used.
If necessary, carry out the special
preparation procedure for the pump,
then, remove the filling cap and fill with
oil until the oil reaches the highest mark
on the sight glass.
This operation must be performed with
the pump switched off. The second
filling orifice is used if an external oil
filtration device is connected (see
accessories p. 63).
To use the pump in optimum conditions, the oil level must be observed and
checked regularly. This level is checked with the pump switched off, hot and
on a horizontal plane.
Note: Optimum pump performance and service life are obtained when the oil
level is between the maximum level and the minimum level.
