ROTATION
OIL
Before start-up, the housing must
be filled with hydraulic fluid.
NOTE:
- The inlet (suction) port should
always be above the pressure
port when the pump is installed
above the reservoir oil level (fig. 1).
- During operation, the pump
must be filled with oil to at
least 50%.
Filtration
To obtain long F2 life, we recom-
mend a filtration level of:
• 25 µm (absolute) in clean environ-
ment or at low pressures
• 10 µm (absolute) in contaminated
environment or at high pressures
Filtration should meet ISO standard
4406, code 18/13.
Start-up
Make sure the entire hydraulic sys-
tem is clean before filling it with a
recommended fluid.
The pump must also be filled as the
internal leakage does not provide
sufficient lubrication at start-up.
Direction of rotation
The above illustrations show flow
vs. shaft rotation for left hand and
right hand pump versions respec-
tively.
The F2 twin flow pump is designed
for left hand or right hand rotating
PTO's. In order to change the direc-
tion of rotation of the pump, the
pump end cap must be replaced.
Installation
The robust shaft bearings of the
pump allows the F2 to be installed
on a bracket (driven by a belt or
cardan shaft) or directly on the PTO.
Fig. 2 shows three ways of install-
ing a gear on the F2 shaft. On a
non-geared PTO or
a
geared PTO
with support bearings, the pump
shaft is usually installed directly in
the internally splined PTO output
shaft.
Hydraulic fluids
The F2 data shown in the specifica-
tions on page 4 are valid when ope-
rating on a high quality, mineral
based fluid.
Hydraulic fluids type HLP (DIN
51524), ATF (automatic transmis-
sion fluids), and API type CD engine
oils are suitable.
Fluid temperature
Main circuit: Max 75 ˚C.
Viscosity
Recommended viscosity:
20 to 30 mm
2
/s (cSt).
Operating viscosity limits:
10 - 400 mm
2
/s.
At start-up: Max 1000 mm
2
/s.
Drain line
F2 pumps don't need a drain line
as they are internally drained.
IMPORTANT
Force must never be used when
installing a coupling, a sleeve or a
gear on the F2 pump shaft.
The tool shown in fig. 3 facilitates
the installation (our P/N 370 6851).
