INSTALLATION TIPS
Excessive pressure in your return line will damage the hydraulic motor seal. High back pressure can be caused by
“spikes” sent back through the return from other equipment on a common return line. Another potential problem
can develop if several pieces of equipment are connected to one “common” return line causing a high back
pressure (150 PSI is the maximum). We recommend you run the return line from the generator back to the
cooling tank with a separate line.
If our hydraulic generator is to be used on a truck or system that will be changing speeds, such as, in a fire truck
(pumping water) we suggest you use a load sensing piston type pump rather than a fixed displacement gear type.
The system will run much cooler and more efficient.
