Series 505 HPU Lift & Move Instructions 3
Series 505 SilentFlo™ HPU Lift and Move Instructions
This manual describes how to unpack and move your HPU into position.
Required Equipment
You will need the following equipment to move the hydraulic power unit (HPU):
• A fork lift, pallet jack, or overhead crane capable of lifting the HPU
• Lifting slings—not chains—and a spreader bar to lift the HPU from its
pallet
General Considerations
• The HPU should be placed on a solid and stable floor.
• The room dimensions must accommodate the HPU.
• Ensure that there is adequate space surrounding the pump to allow all
panels and covers to be opened.
• Some service procedures require the pump motor to be removed from
the HPU case. Provide overhead height at least equal to the height of
your lifting device plus the height of your HPU. See
“HPU
Dimensions” on page 4 for specific model heights.
• Provide sufficient clearance for moving a pump through a door, hallway,
and so forth. See
“HPU Dimensions” on page 4.
• Refer to your local electrical codes for the required free space surrounding
the HPU.
• Placement considerations should include proximity to the facility electric
power and the hydraulic components. Positioning the HPU close to the
hydraulic components can reduce the cost of hydraulic distribution.
• The path to the HPU should be clear and uncluttered, with all hoses and
cables neatly organized.
• The area where the HPU sits should be clean and well lit.
• The HPU can be moved by a forklift, pallet jack, or over head crane capable
of lifting the weight of the HPU.
Note See “Hydraulic Power Unit Specifications” on page 4 for the weight and
dimensions of each HPU model.
