GENERAL INFORMATION / INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE
No problem in case of temperature down to -40ยฐC (-40ยฐF).
Below -40ยฐC (-40ยฐF) please consult our technical-sales de-
partment.
STARTING UP
We strongly recommend to warm up the oil before running the
machine. If this is not possible, the warm up of the oil and of the
pump should be carried out following these instructions:
โข Start the pump in stand-by condition at minimum speed.
Keep this working condition until the pump case reaches
-20ยฐC (-4ยฐF)
โข Increase slowly the displacement.
Max pressure permitted: 50 bar (725 psi). The maximum
permitted speed is strictly connected to the layout of the inlet
circuit; check that there is no cavitation before increasing the
speed.
โข Keep this working condition until the oil temperature in the
whole system is -10ยฐC (14ยฐF).
โข Maximum pressure can be achieved from now on.
โข Always check the outlet flow to prevent cavitation damage.
All the temperature are referred to oil with viscosity ISO VG 32
according to DIN 51 519.
SUGGESTIONS
To prevent cavitation at low temperature we suggest:
โข To warm up the tank
โข To pressurize the tank
โข To oversize the inlet hose
FOR VERY LOW TEMPERATURE
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
Clockwise or anti-clockwise defined looking at the drive shaft.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Mineral oil based hydraulic fluid conforming to DIN 51524,
fire resistant fluids and biodegradable fluids according to the
technical data shown in the tables at pages 4 รท 6. The system
should be designed to prevent aeration of the hydraulic fluid.
FLUID VISCOSITY
The fluid viscosity range for optimal use of LVP pump is betwe-
en 15 and 35 cSt (77 and 163 SSU).
Functional limit conditions are:
max.: 1500 cSt (6818 SSU) at start up at -25 ยฐC (-13 ยฐF) with
straight and short inlet line.
min.: 10 mm

/s (58 SSU) at maximum temperature of 110 ยฐC
(230 ยฐF)
FILTRATION
To ensure the optimal performance and the maximum life to the
pump, the hydraulic fluid must have and maintain a fluid conta-
mination within the values shown in the table below.

Casappa recommends to use its own
production filters:
INSTALLATION
Check that the maximum coupling eccentricity stays within 0,25
mm (0.0098 in) to reduce shaft loads due to misalignment. It is
advised to use a flexible coupling suitable to absorb eventual
rotational shocks. For applications with axial and radial loads
exceeding published standards, consult our sales department.
The direction of rotation of the pump must agree with the prime
mover rotation. Before installation, the case of the pump must
be filled with fluid.
LINES
The lines must have a major diameter which is at least as
large as the diameter of pump ports, and must be perfectly
sealed.
To reduce loss of power, the lines should be as short as possi-
ble, reducing the sources of hydraulic resistance (elbow, thrott-
ling, gate valves, etc.) to a minimum. A length of flexible tubing
is recommended to reduce the transmission of vibrations.
Before connecting the lines, remove any plug and make sure
that the lines are perfectly clean. Check that the drain line is
dimensioned in a way to guarantee a case pressure lower than
1,5 bar (22 psi) absolute. The drain line must be connected
directly (no filter, no valves, no oil cooler) to the tank and must
terminate below the oil level. Check that the dimensions of the
suction line guarantee a pressure equal or superior to 0,8 bar
(24 in Hg). Inlet pressure less than 0,8 bar (24 in Hg) could
cause an increase of noise emission, the decrease of the pump
performances and a reduction of its life expectancy.
STARTING UP
Check that all connections are secure and that the entire sy-
stem is completely clean. Add oil to the tank always using a
filter. Bleed the air from the circuit to help the filling. Turn on the
system for a few moments at minimum speed, then bleed the
circuit again and check the level of oil in the tank. Gradually
increase the pressure and speed of rotation up to the pre-set
operating levels, which must stay within the stated limits as
specified in the catalogue.
