OPERATION
OPERATION
Facing the panel control valve, the bottom male quick disconnect fitting is the PRESSURE FLUID OUT fitting. The
top female quick disconnect fitting is the RETURN FLUID IN fitting.
QUICK DISCONNECT COUPLERS
H.T.M.A. approved quick disconnect couplings are installed to hydraulic hoses so that the direction of oil flow is
always from the male to the female quick disconnect as shown in figure 2. Quick disconnect couplings and hose
fittings are selected so that additional fittings such as reducer or adapter fittings are not required.
If adapter fittings are used, they must be approved steel hydraulic fittings meeting a minimum operating pressure
rating of 2500 psi (172 bar). Do not use galvanized pipe fittings or black pipe fittings.
Use thread tape or pipe joint compound when installing quick disconnect couplings to hose or tool fittings. Follow
the instructions furnished with the selected thread sealant.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE FITTINGS.
The supplied 12 Volt DC battery is a non-spillable, maintenance-free battery and is fully charged.
Make sure the battery cables are tight and charging circuit functions are operating properly.
Do not charge the battery with a standard auto-
motive battery charger. This type of charger
produces a charging amperage higher than 2
amps. Charging the battery at higher than 2
amps will damage the battery
N O T I C E
If the engine runs out of gas or dies during
operation and the ignition switch is left in the
ON or RUN position, this could drain the battery.
Make sure the ignition switch is returned to the
OFF position.
