SECTION 7: CONDITIONS THAT WILL VOID WARRANTY
•
Failure to maintain proper fluid level in reservoir will
cause permanent damage to pump by allowing air
to be drawn into pump. Fluid will become foamy.
•
Changing the relief valve setting or pressure
adjustment of control valve without proper
knowledge and instruction from the factory will void
your warranty. A very minor adjustment could
destroy the structural and safety limits for which the
unit was designed. The system will produce more
power than the structure will withstand. Higher
pressure could cause the hoses to burst, cylinder to
rupture, and intense fluid releases, which could
result in serious personal injury.
•
Disassembling the pump will void your warranty. If
replacement is necessary, merely disconnect and
replace. Do not attempt to adjust pump settings, as
they are adjusted by the manufacturer at the
factory.
•
Use of incorrect hydraulic fluid will void your
warranty. Use only Dexron III automatic
transmission fluid or 10W AW hydraulic fluid.
•
The flexible pump coupler must be inspected
regularly. Allowing the coupler to deteriorate will
void your warranty. Deterioration of spider insert
and prolonged use after its deterioration will destroy
pump bearings, engine bearings and the coupler
hubs.
SECTION 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Engine fails to start
Engine runs erratic
Engine overheats
NOTE: For repairs beyond the minor adjustments listed above, contact your nearest authorized service dealer.
Cause
1. Spark plug wire disconnected.
2. Fuel tank empty or stale fuel.
3. Throttle control lever not in correct
starting position. (If Equipped)
4. Choke not in CHOKE position.
(If Equipped)
5. Blocked fuel line.
6. Faulty spark plug.
1. Spark plug wire loose.
2. Unit running on CHOKE.
(If Equipped)
3. Blocked fuel line or stale fuel.
4. Water or dirt in fuel system.
5. Dirty air cleaner.
6. Carburetor out of adjustment.
1. Engine oil level low.
2. Dirty air cleaner.
3. Carburetor not adjusted properly.
•
Improper beam lubrication will cause premature
wear and looseness. Lubricate the beam regularly.
Lack of lubrication will void your warranty.
•
Improper adjustment of splitting wedge will void
your warranty. If wedge is too loose, cylinder beam
and wedge wear will result. Allowing the wedge to
loosen and be used under operating stress will
cause damage which will not be covered under
warranty. If wedge is too tight, severe beam
damage will result which will not be covered under
warranty.
•
Do not overheat the hydraulic system. Excessive
heat will destroy the hydraulic system with
hardened O-rings and excessive friction.
•
Do not attempt to start in temperatures under 20¤F
without pre-heating fluid in reservoir. Excessively
cold fluid can not circulate and draw into pump.
•
Repair any leaks in hydraulic system immediately.
Unattended leaks will cause air to enter system
and/or decrease fluid level in reservoir, causing
damage to the hydraulic system which will not be
covered by warranty.
1. Connect wire to spark plug.
2. Fill tank with clean, fresh gasoline.
3. Move throttle lever to FAST position.
4. Move choke to CHOKE position.
5. Clean fuel line.
6. Clean, adjust gap, or replace.
1. Connect and tighten spark plug wire.
2. Move choke lever to OFF position.
3. Clean fuel line; fill tank with clean, fresh
gasoline
4. Drain fuel tank. Refill with fresh fuel.
5. Clean or replace air cleaner.
6. See authorized service dealer.
