APPLIANCE SPECIFICATION
The manual pump for pressure tests is used to test the
tightness and durability of systems and receivers powered
by water, including solar heating systems powered by an
aqueous glycol solution.
TECHNICAL DATA
Catalogue no.: 55400
Maximum pressure: 4 MPa / 40 bar / 580 psi
Maximum test liquid temperature: 50
Rated pump tank capacity: 5 l
Connection standard: G1/2
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Before starting the pressure tests, refer to the test proce-
dure contained in the documentation accompanying the
receiver or system. Performing the test procedure in the
wrong way can lead to damage to the tested device and
the pump itself. The manufacturer does not assume any
responsibility for damage resulting from improper use of
the pump.
During the test procedure, use personal protective equip-
ment such as safety glasses, protective clothing with long
sleeves and legs. Protective footwear with a slip-resistant
sole. Wear also protective goggles.
During the pressure test, the tested-device may be un-
sealed, which may result in a leakage of high-pressure
water jets. Contact of the exposed body with such a stream
can lead to perforation of the skin. Spilled water can cause
the risk of slipping, which can result in injury.
The pump can work with water or an aqueous solution of
glycol used in solar heating systems. It is forbidden to use
the pump with any other liquid.
PUMP INSTALLATION
The pump should be mounted to the tank using screws and
nuts (II). At the bottom of the pump, mount the water intake
from the tank (III) by sliding it onto the pump inlet. Screw
the hose (IV) to the pump outlet. Do not use excessive
tightening force to avoid damaging the gaskets. Tighten
the connection only with suffi cient force to ensure that the
connection is tight.
TEST PROCEDURE
Close the drain valve under the pressure gauge by turning
it as far as possible in a clockwise direction.
Open the main valve; its lever should be set parallel to the

water pipe.
Connect the pump hose to the device being tested. Fill the
pump tank with water or aqueous glycol solution. Follow
the recommendations of the documentation attached to the
tested device.
Fill the tested-device with liquid from the pump tank and
bleed it. Close all valves in the tested device.
Start pumping by moving the handle upwards and down-
wards. Watch the pressure gauge in order not to exceed
the pressure described in the documentation accompany-
ing the tested device.

After reaching the test pressure. Close the main valve by

turning its lever so that it is perpendicular to the water line.
The leakage of the tested device will be indicated by a
pressure drop. Follow the instructions in the equipment
documentation regarding the test time and pressure drop.
After the test, open the drain valve which will allow the liq-
uid to return to the pump tank. When the fl ow through the
drain valve has stopped the pressure gauge pointer should
indicate zero, then close the drain valve. Disconnect the
hose from the tested device and empty the pump tank of
the liquid.
MAINTENANCE
Empty the water tank of the pump. Close the drain valve
and start pumping to remove any residual water from the
pump and hose system. Dry the residual water with a soft
cloth.
The pump piston, connected to the handle, should be peri-
odically lubricated with water-resistant grease. Do not allow
the pump piston to corrode.
Store the pump in shaded and ventilated areas. Protect the
pump from dust, dirt, dust and other contaminants. Thor-
oughly clean the inside of the tank before fi lling the pump
with water. Contaminants from the tank which enter the
tested system can cause damage to the system.
