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 adapt
-
er 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 fit
-
tings 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.
6. BATTERY
NOTICE
Do not charge the battery with a standard automotive
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.
NOTICE
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.
