UNROLLING THE HOSE BUNDLE The V-5esc comes with a100 ft. hydraulic hose bundle for use with the MKT HP-185t3 Power Unit. When unrolling the hose bundle make sure you use a strap rated for the hose bundle’s rated capacity full of oil (830 LBS.).
Page 15
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS Once the hose bundle has been unrolled you can proceed with making the hydraulic connections as follows. Connect the Pressure to motor Quick Disconnect on the • power unit to the corresponding Quick Disconnect on the hose bundle. Connect the Motor Return Quick Disconnect on the •...
Page 16
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS Your hydraulic connections should look like the picture to the right. Failure to connect the Drain line to • the hydraulic reservoir will cause damage to the internal components of the manifold and cause the vibratory motor to have a seal failure.
Page 17
HOSE BUNDLE ROUTING When routing the hose bundle you will need to use rigging with a rated capacity sufficient enough to support the hose bundle. Leave a loop in the hoses to allow the hammer to be curled under or curled out. Without enough slack in the hose bundle loop damage can and will occur to the Manifold Block or the hose bundle.

START UP PROCEDURES • Check all fluid levels in the engine • If the engine oil is low, fill with Shell Rotella T triple Protection 15w-40...
Page 22
START UP PROCEDURES • Check all fluid levels in the engine • Make sure to check the Engine coolant to ensure the mixture is correct for your location. • If the engine Coolant is low, fill with John Deere Cool-Gard II Engine Coolant/Antifreeze.
Page 23
STARTUP PROCEDURES Check the level of the Hydraulic fluid • on the gauge on the side of the tank. If the hydraulic fluid is low, fill the tank • with Phillips 66 Ecoterra ISO 32. If the hydraulic oil is below the site glass do not start the diesel engine.
Page 24
STARTUP PROCEDURES Once you have the hose bundle laid • out on the ground you can begin to make the connection to the power unit. Clean all Quick Disconnects with • diesel fuel and wipe clean before making each connection. Do not use any type of harsh chemical to clean Quick Disconnect.

POWERING UP THE CONTROLS With the power unit running turn the power switch on the junction box to the ON position.
Page 31
POWERING UP THE REMOTE Once you have the junction box powered up you can push the on button in the upper left corner of the remote. The power to the junction box has to be turned on before you can turn on the remote. If you turn the remote on first the system will not recognize the remote.
Page 32
OPERATION OF UNIT Once you have followed the proper power up process you are now ready to start controlling the unit. TILT function is controlled by pushing down on the top of the button to tilt left and the bottom of the button to tilt right. Rotate function is controlled by pushing down on the top of the button to rotate left and the bottom of the button to rotate right.
Page 33
OPERATION OF UNIT Clamp function is controlled by first holding the button up or down on the PTO switch that is located directly to the right of the clamp function switch. Once you have the PTO switch held you can now operate the clamp by pushing up on the clamp function button to open the clamps or down on the clamp function button to close the clamp.
Page 34
OPERATION OF UNIT The vibratory function is controlled by first holding the button up or down on the PTO switch that is located directly to the right of the vibro function switch. While you have the PTO held down you will need to push the Vibro switch up to the on position.
