Lifting and Transporting PT 6L Lifting and Transporting Lifting the Machine See Graphic: wc_gr003180 Attach a sling or chain to the lifting eye (a) using a suitable hook or shackle. Each lifting device must have capacity of at least 1090 Kg (2400 lbs.).
PT 6L Lifting and Transporting Tires Keep the tires properly inflated and make sure they have the proper load rating. Under-inflated tires may cause a blowout which could WARNING result in fishtailing or loss of control of the towing vehicle.
Lifting and Transporting PT 6L Safety Chains See Graphic: wc_gr003181 Failure to properly attach the safety chains between your trailer and the tow vehicle can result in a runaway trailer; should the coupler and hitch separate while towing. WARNING Safety chains (c) on your trailer provide added protection that it will not become separated from the towing vehicle.
PT 6L Lifting and Transporting Lights See Graphic: wc_gr003182 Check and make certain that all trailer lights are working before towing the trailer. WARNING State and federal regulations require that all types of trailers be equipped with tail, stop and turn lights (e) and side marker lights (f).
4.1.2 Check the machine and its components for damage. If there is visible damage, do not operate the machine!

Operation PT 6L Recommended Fuel The engine requires No. 2 diesel fuel. Use only fresh, clean fuel. Fuel containing water or dirt will damage the fuel system. Consult the engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications. Before Starting the Engine 4.5.1...
PT 6L Operation 4.6.7 Attach the suction strainer to the suction hose to prevent large debris from being pulled into the pump. 4.6.8 Prime the pump. To do so, open the cover (c) at the top of the pump and fill the pump housing with water. The pump will not prime unless this is done.
Operation PT 6L The pump should prime and begin pumping within a minute or two. At high suction lifts or low engine speeds, the pump will require a longer period of time to prime. If the pump does not prime, shut off the engine and refer to the section on troubleshooting.
PT 6L Operation Automatic Shutdown System The engine is equipped with an automatic shutdown system to protect it from damage should a low oil pressure or a high cylinder temperature condition occur. During a low-oil-pressure condition, the low-oil-pressure switch opens cutting power to the throttle solenoid.
Operation PT 6L 4.11 Hoses Suction hoses must be rigid enough not to collapse. Make sure the suction hose is in good condition. A hole or tear in the suction hose above the water line will prevent the pump from priming.
PT 6L Operation 4.15 Discharge Port See graphic: wc_gr001184 The discharge port (a) can be rotated 360° to direct water flow in any direction. To rotate the elbow: 4.15.1 Remove the locknuts (b) which hold the port to the pump housing.
Operation PT 6L 4.16 Covers See graphic: wc_gr003210 DO NOT open the covers or reach into the pump while the engine is running! The spinning impeller could cause a severe injury. DO NOT run the pump with any of the covers open or missing.
Operation PT 6L 4.17 Towing the Machine See Graphic: wc_gr003185 Before hitching and towing the trailer, check the following: • Check that the vehicle, towing hitch, and coupler have a rating equal to or greater than the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
PT 6L Operation When towing, maintain extra space between the vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs, and sudden lane changes. If you have not pulled the trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area CAUTION away from traffic.
