CONNECTING TOOLS:
Before connecting any tool to the hydraulic power source, make sure that it is compatible with the
flow and pressure range of the power source. Also make certain that the relief valve setting, which
determines the maximum pressure that the unit will apply to the tool, is properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT: CHECK the flow direction of the tool. The pressure (in) hose from the tool
should have a female quick disconnect fitting. The return (out) side should have a male quick
disconnect fitting.
Place the hydraulic flow bypass valve lever to the "START/OFF" position, (it is OK for the engine to
be left running).
Connect the "RETURN" ("R") side first by aligning the male and female quick disconnects and
pushing them together firmly. You will hear or feel a click and the locking collar will snap closed
when they are correctly seated. Rotate the locking collar slightly to avoid inadvertent uncoupling.
Connect the "PRESSURE" ("M") side in the same manner. To start the flow of oil to the tool, first
check that by standers are clear of the tool and that the operator is ready, then move the bypass
valve lever to the "ON" position.
CAUTION: MAKE sure everyone is clear before operating.
CAUTION: READ and understand the operator's manual for the equipment to be operated with the
hydraulic power source.
WARNING: Operating tools at a higher pressure than recommended or with the flow
reversed may cause damage to the tool, resulting in injury or death to the operator.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow hydraulic oil temperature to exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Also,
only allow intermittent hydraulic oil temperatures exceeding 165 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Hydraulic
component damage may occur when operating unit with hydraulic oil temperatures exceeding 180
degrees Fahrenheit (F) or temperatures exceeding 165 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for extended periods of
time. NOTE: If oil temperature becomes to high, reduce oil pressure by reducing load on tools
(place valves in neutral position). Allow oil to circulate at reduced pressure (<500 psi) until oil
temperature is adequately reduced.
TO STOP THE ENGINE,
1.) Push the throttle lever down to idle position.
2.) Turn key counterclockwise to off position.
DISCONNECTING TOOLS:
Place the hydraulic flow bypass valve lever to the "Start/Off" position.
Disconnect the "PRESSURE" side first by rotating the locking collar until the notch aligns with the
bead on the female fitting. Push the locking collar toward the bead and the fittings will disconnect.
Disconnect the "RETURN" side in the same manner.
