2. Wheel the iH system on its castors to move it into its operating position.
3. Adjust the levellingfeet to make sure that the iH system is level and is not supported by the
castors.
4. If you want to secure the iH in place to prevent inadvertent movement (for example, during
an earthquake), take note of the following
• the iH system can be secured to the floor by fittingsuitable bolts or studs (not supplied)
through the 17.5mm hole in the seismic brackets (Figure 3-1, item 5).
• if vibration transmission to the floor is a concern, suitable vibration isolators (not
supplied) should be fitted between the seismic brackets and the bolt or stud.
• although the iH system is supplied with four seismic brackets, two brackets are capable of
protectingthe system duringan earthquake. The system can therefore be secured as
shown in Figure 3-5 for example, to reduce the effective system footprint if required.
• if all four seismic brackets are to be used, ensure that the bolt spacingis adequate for the
floor strength and loads anticipated.
5. If preferred, the liftingbolts can be removed and replaced with the liftingbolt hole plugs
supplied with the systems.
3.7 Check the pump oil-level(s)
CAUTION
Ensure that the oil-levels in the HCDP pump and the HCMB pump (in an iH600 system) are
correct. If a pump oil-level is incorrect, pump performance may be affected and the pump
may be damaged.
3.7.1 iH80 systems
The iH80 system is supplied with the HCDP pump filled with oil. However, we recommend
that you check the oil-level before you operate the iH system; use the method described
below.
Refer to Figure 1-1. Check that the oil-level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the bezel
of the HCDP oil-level sight-glass (10):
• If the oil-level is above the MAX mark, drain excess oil from the pump as described in
Section 6.9 until the oil-level is correct.
• If the oil-level is below the MIN mark, fill the pump with oil until the oil-level is correct, as
described in Section 6.8.
