General safety instructions
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data
which come with this device. Failure to heed the following instructions can
lead to severe injuries.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for the future.
Only use the tool for the intended purpose and under observance of the general

a) Keep your workplace tidy. Untidiness in the work area can cause accidents.
b) Use the right tool. Do not use weak machines for heavy work. Do not use the
tool for a purpose for which it is not intended.
c) Check the tool for damage. Slightly damaged parts must be checked carefully
for perfect and proper functioning every time before using the tool. Check
whether the moving parts work perfectly and do not jam or are damaged. All
parts must be mounted correctly and meet all conditions to ensure perfect
operation of the tool. Damaged parts must be properly repaired or changed by a
recognised specialist unless specifi ed otherwise in the operating manual.
d) Be careful. Pay attention to what you are doing. Work sensibly.
e) Do not overload your tool. You can work better and safer in the specifi ed

Safety instructions for the hand pressure testing pump
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data
which come with this device. Failure to heed the following instructions can
lead to severe injuries.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for the future.
- Do not use the device if it is damaged. There is a danger of accident.
- The device develops very high pressures of up to 6 MPa (60 bar, 870 psi). So be very careful. Keep third parties away from the work area when working with the device.
- Examine the high-pressure hoses for damage every time before using. Damaged high-pressure hoses can burst and cause injury.
- Only use original high-pressure hoses, fi ttings and couplings for the device. This ensures that the safety of the device is maintained.
- Place the device horizontally on a level surface for operation. If operated on an inclined, uneven surface, liquid can escape from the tank (3) or the device can tip over.
- Do not suck up infl ammable or explosive liquids, for example petrol, oil, alcohol, solvent, with the device. The fumes or liquids can ignite or explode.
- Protect the device against frost. The device could be damaged.
- Do not overload the device. Overloading can damage the device. There is a risk of injury.
- Children and persons who, due to their physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and knowledge are unable to operate the device safely may not use this device without supervision or instruction by a responsible person. Otherwise there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.
- Only allow trained persons to use the device. Apprentices may only operate the device when they are older than 16, when this is necessary for their training and under the supervision of a trained operative.

1. Technical Data
Use for the intended purpose
REMS Push and REMS Push INOX are designed for pressure and leak testing of pipe systems and vessels. All other uses are not for the intended purpose and are therefore prohibited.
NOTICE
The respective national safety provisions, rules and regulations valid for the application site must be considered and observed for proper use
.
2. Commissioning/Operation
Medium under pressure can escape in case of leaks. Protect the area from
unauthorised access during pressure testing.
The hand pressure testing pump (A) is used for pressure and leak testing of
pipe systems (B), observe EN 806-4 standard and national regulations. To do
so, attach the connecting line (C) with pressure gauge (D) with specifi ed
scale and also the shut-off valve (E) to the installed system. Close the shut-
off valve (E) and fi ll the system. Connect the high-pressure hose (1) of the
hand pressure
testing pump to the system being tested (hose connection ½”). Open the return
valve (2), open the shut-off valve (E) and fi ll the tank (3). Close the
return valve.
Bleed the installed system. Close the shut-off valve upstream of the installed
system (F). Set the specifi ed/required test pressure by pumping several times
with the pump lever (4). In the case of major differences between the ambient
temperature and the water temperature a waiting period until these
temperatures are balanced is necessary. Close the shut-off valve (E) on the
installed system.
Comply with the testing time as specifi ed. After completion of the pressure
test, open the return valve (2). Remove the high-pressure hose from the
installed system.
Attention: Before connecting the high-pressure hose (1), make sure that the
pressure has been relieved completely. Note the pressure on the pressure gauge
(5).
NOTICE Do not use the hand pressure testing pump without the suction fi lter (6).
3. Maintenance
3.1. Maintenance
Grease the pump piston from time to time. Check high-pressure hose (1) and seals for damage before every use. Do not use a damaged high-pressure hose and damaged seals. Clean the suction fi lter (6) regularly. Channge a damaged suction fi lter. Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing, high-pressure hose) only with REMS CleanM machine cleaner (Art. No. 140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use household cleaners. These often contain chemicals which can damage the plastic parts. Never use petrol, turpentine, thinner or similar products for cleaning.
3.2. Inspection/Repair
This work may only be performed by qualifi ed personnel.
4. Faults

Remedy:
- Clean ball and ball seat, change ball if necessary
- Have the hand pressure testing pump checked/repaired by an authorised
REMS customer service workshop.
