OPERATION
CONTROLS
The GPV18 maximum pressure is 175 bar/2500 psi with a
flow adjustment from 20 Lpm/5 gpm to 30 Lpm/8 gpm by
rotating the flow control switch.
Figure 3. Control Panel
One hydraulic tool can be connected to the tool circuit. The
circuit is activated by first selecting 5 or 8 gpm with the flow
control switch, then rotating the output control switch to the
“ON” position.
STARTUP
Assure the output control switch is in the “OFF” position
before startup. Pull out on the “Choke” control lever and
turn the start switch to the “Start” position, after the engine
starts let go of the key and the start switch will remain in the
“Run” position, allow the engine to warm up for 3-5 minutes
until it runs smoothly with the choke pushed back in. Then
connect the hose, turn the flow control switch into 20 Lpm/5
gpm or 30 Lpm/8 gpm (depending on your tool),and turn
the output control switch into “NO’ position and the tool can
be operated.
SHUTDOWN
Place the output control switch in the “OFF” position and
turn the flow control switch to “Idle” position. Then turn the
startup switch to “Stop” or shutdown position.
COLD WEATHER STARTUP
Hydraulic fluids are thicker in cold weather, therefore, it
is recommended that the engine be run at low idle long
enough to bring the fluid temperature up to a minimum of
50°F/10°C or until the top of the hydraulic filter feels warm.
If the tools and tool hoses are cold, it is recommended to
allow hydraulic fluid to circulate through the tool hoses until
warm before using the tool.
