THE BANDIT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The Bandit is equipped with a very efficient,
simple hydraulic system. Each component is
capable of withstanding a specified PSI and still
operate for a very long time. See page 41.
If you follow the simple rules mentioned below,
the hydraulic components will last for years:
•
Do not operate the machine if the hydraulic oil
level is low. This will cause the pump to
cavitate and over heat. Keep min. 7/8 full tank.
•
Do not increase the feedwheel relief valve
setting beyond 1500 PSI. This will cause
damage to hydraulic components.
•
Keep your oil clean. Dirty oil will cause
excessive wear and loss of feedwheel power.
Replace spin on filter per maintenance chart.
•
Replace the hydraulic oil suction screen & oil
filter with each 400 hours of operation or 3
months. See page 47 for hydraulic oil
requirements.
•
Replace your hydraulic oil once yearly. This is
also a very good time to flush and clean the tank.
•
If you keep the Bandit’s hydraulic system clean
and do not increase the feedwheel hydraulic
pressure beyond 1500 PSI, you will get the
maximum use and life out of your Bandit
chipper.
•
If you encounter a problem, it will more than
likely be located in the relief valve or something
as simple as belts slipping, check these first.
MAINTAIN FEEDWHEEL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
AT 1500 PSI.
HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
FEEDWHEEL HYDRAULIC MOTOR:
The hydraulic motor is attached to the feedwheel by a
tapered feedwheel motor connection.
PUMP:
The hydrauic pump could be bolted directly to
the engine, or may be driven by a sheave/belt
combination off of the chipper shaft.
SUCTION STRAINER:
This strainer stops contaminants from reaching the
hydraulic pump. The suction strainer should be
replaced every 400 hours or 3 months.
HYDRAULIC TANK:
This tank must be kept clean and filled minimum 7/8
full. Clean tank yearly.
FILTER:
This spin-on cartridge filter must be replaced per
maintenance schedule.
FILTER MOUNT:
The filter is tightened on the Filter Mount.
FEEDWHEEL VALVE:
This valve is actuated by the control bar. The valve
actuates the feedwheel for forward, off or reverse. It
also contains an adjustable relief valve.
