1.4. CHECK OIL LEVEL


 INFORMATION

⚠
Check the oil level once the pump has been
working for a approx 1 minute.
Always make a visual check of the oil level
when the pump is running as, for technical

reasons, the oil level drops when the pump is
stopped.
Use the oil specified! – see NOTIFICATION ON
PUMP!

Fill the spray tank with a sufficient quan-
tity of water.


Close the spraying valves and control unit.


Start the Altek pump drive.



Allow the Altek pump to work for 1 min.


⚠

Make a visual check of the oil level and, if



necessary, stop the drive + top up the oil.


⚠


Close the oil reservoir (3).

Restart the drive and make another visual
check.



If necessary, repeat the process (oil top-

up).

The marking on the oil reservoir shows the oil


level required when the pump is running. As
⚠
soon as the pump is switched off, the oil level

drops for technical reasons meaning that it is
⚠
no longer visible in the oil reservoir.
Topping up the oil under these conditions

may cause the oil reservoir to overflow when
the pump starts to operate.

Therefore – only check the oil level when the
pump is running.
