EP13D / EP18D / EP211D:
When the pump lever is in position A and the button of the remote control is pressed, port A is put under
pressure. Port B is not under pressure. When the lever is in position B and the button of the remote control is
pressed, port B is put under pressure. Port A is not under pressure. See the drawing below for the position of
the lever:

3.3 Trial run
The machine is supplied without oil. The hydraulic oil provided is suitable for most applications. Special
hydraulic oil must be used for applications with lower ambient temperatures. The reservoir must be filled before
the machine can be trial run:
1. Clean the pump around the filling opening to avoid getting dirt in the reservoir.
2. Remove the filler cap.
3. Use a clean funnel with a filter to fill the pump.
4. Fill the pump with new hydraulic oil. EP13 = 3L, EP18 = 8L, EP211 = 11L. The oil level should be 1.5 to
2 cm under the lid.
5. Remove the funnel and put the filler cap back on. Screw it on properly, but not too tight. The rubber
washer ensures a good seal. Check that the valve in the filler cap is open. This stops pressure building
up in the reservoir.
6. Bleed all fittings before operating the system. Running the system under full pressure for a while is
recommended. By doing so, everything is run at maximum capacity, and one can easily check whether
all the connections are properly sealed. Never attempt to stop hydraulic oil from leaking with part of your
body. Do not 'touch' seals to check for leaks. Oil injected under the skin may result in the loss of body
parts.
