instructions in the manual that is provided by the
carrier manufacturer.
For carriers equipped with a quick coupler, refer to
the owner’s manual furnished by the coupler
manufacturer for instructions.

7.2 Connect Pressure and Return Lines
IMPORTANT
Contamination can diminish service life. Prevent
contaminating the oil. Always clean the area around
connections prior to opening the hydraulic system.
IMPORTANT
Exercise extreme care to ensure fluids are collected
in a suitable container when opening the hydraulic
system. Clean up spilled fluids and obey all local
regulations for the disposal of these fluids.
1.
Connect Supply [IN] and Return [OUT] hoses to
carrier’s hydraulic circuit.
CAUTION
Hydraulic circuits differ between
machines. Improper set up can
damage the Ho-Pac or carrier. Only
qualified personnel, having knowledge
of the machine’s systems should
install.
Identify whether the carrier's pressure line is located
on the right-hand or left-hand side. Do not guess. The
Ho-Pac will not operate if these hoses are crossed.
