Pump and engine failure:
There can be many reason for pump and engine failure, cavitation, too high
pressure and pollution.
•
Never run out of oil.
•
Never let a cold machine run up in speed too fast. The vehicle engine must run
idle before the tool engine is connected/disconnected.
•
The speed of the vehicle engine must never be increased or decreased too
fast.
•
Suction hose and pump fittings must be checked and tightened on a regular
basis.
•
Never start or stop the rotor at max. rpm.
•
Avoid sudden arm movements via the joy stick and irregularities on the ground,
as changes in pressure is directed back to the pump and may result in
malfunction.
•
Avoid letting the rotor hit an object such as a rock, as this will cause pressure
changes.
•
Never transport the machine with the engine running.
•
Never choose a higher PTO rpm. / oil flow than recommended.
•
Never work with more than the recommended PTO speed /Oil flow
– this will
result in overheating.
NOTE : The engine guarantee is limited to replacement due to defective material or
manufacturing. Cavitation, pollution and too high pressure can easily be detected
by examination. The guarantee will also be void if the defect is due to misuse.
