Installation - Paragon HydraFLOW Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Installation

CAUTION: It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the HydraFLOW is mounted in a location
providing proper clearance from any heat source(s).
Paragon recommends 12" from any exhaust opening, 6" from any other heat source(s).
Power Take-Off and Hydraulic Pump
A. Mount the PTO as recommended by PTO manufacturer.
B. If the system contains a direct mounted hydraulic pump, ensure the hydraulic pump is mounted to the PTO as
recommended by PTO, hydraulic pump, and transmission manufacturers.
C. Ensure ALL safety labels are installed per manufacturer guidelines.
Note: The standard filter supplied in the HydraFLOW is a 10 micron nominal. Contact Paragon Tank Truck Equipment for other filtration
media options.
Please refer to your hydraulic pump installation manual for correct filtration and suction specifications.
Contact the engine manufacturer for the proper engine speed range that will reduce torsional vibration to a minimum and prevent
premature hydraulic pump and PTO wear.
Mounting the HydraFLOW
• Drill 21/32" diameter holes in the appropriate location for mounting the unit as shown in
Fig. 4.
• Use the fasteners in the hardware packet supplied by Paragon to mount the
HydraFLOW.
Hydraulic Hoses & Fittings

• Use of Loctite 542 or equivalent is recommended for any National Pipe Thread (NPT) hydraulic connections.
• Hoses are customer supplied, fit according to the system drawings.
