Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems Pump Block Diagrams Hydraulic Pumps Pump #1 Also know as Aux 1, is the implement pump. It is driven by the transmission auxiliary PTO. It provides power to the cutter arm lift cyl- inders, skip cylinders, water pump, debris tank hoist, arm lock, and arm slide motor.
Page 24
Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems Electric Hydraulic Pump An electric hydraulic pump activated by a toggle switch on hydraulic manifold provides hydraulic power to raise or lower heavy components in the event of a hydraulic pump failure. This pump is capable of raising only one component at a time.
Page 25
Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems Hydraulic Motors and Actuators The water pumps, auger, eccentric, cutting drum and cutter arm slide mechanism are powered by hydraulic motors. Internal components of the motors are lubricated and cooled by the hydraulic fluid that powers the motor. All hydraulic motors have maximum pressure ratings and RPM settings that should never be exceeded.
Page 26
Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems Hydraulic Accumulators Two accumulator tanks with gas charged pistons provide reserve hydraulic power and compensate for normal pressure variations in the cutter and skip cylinder hydraulic circuits. They are located near the high pressure filters below the deck access plate.

Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems Clean Water Tank Water Tank Water Tank Sight Gauge Debris Tank Water Pump Water Tank Fill Fitting & Valve 2.5 water System The water system that suppresses dust during operation consists of a water storage tank, de- livery pump, hoses and nozzles that spray water on the cutter during operation.
Page 31
Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems Operators must always monitor the tank closely during filling operations as the flow of water from a hydrant will be greater than the flow capacity of tank air vent. Overfilling the tank will cause excessive pressure and damage the tank.
Section 2 - Rumble Hog Systems is open prior to engaging the water pump. If the pump is engaged while this valve is closed or there is no water in the tank, the cutter will not be cooled properly and the pump impeller will likely be damaged.
