  • Page 19: Hydraulic Connections

    30" SHARK Owner’s Manual Hydraulic Connections Pressure Oil The circuit relief setting of the pressure oil supply should be no less than 3000 psi (207 bar) to maximum of 5000 psi (345 bar). Motor torque is directly proportional to the value of the supplied pressure and so higher supplied pressure translates into increased performance and reduced time required to bring the rotor from dead stop to full speed.

  • Page 21 30" SHARK Owner’s Manual Case Drain Oil Under normal operating conditions, motor case drain circuit pressure should not exceed 10 psi (0.7 bar). Higher case drain pressure may be observed for short periods (i.e. cold start conditions) but should not be sustained. Sustained high case drain pressure will decrease the service life of the axial piston motor.
  • Page 22 Owner’s Manual Hydraulic Motor Case Over-Pressure Protection Hydraulic motor case over-pressure relief protection is standard on Torrent mulching attachments. If for any reason the case drain circuit become restricted due to a pinched case drain hose, blocked due to a disconnected coupling or failure to open an isolation valve, or exposed to excessive pressure due to improper installation, the motor shaft seal and casing are protected from damage by a low pressure relief valve connected to the motor casing.
