HOW TO IDENTIFY PUMP ROTATION
To better understand the effects of pump rotation we must consider the path that oil takes
through the pump. Oil enters the pump through the inlet (suction) port, travels around the
outside of the gears, and is forced out through the outlet (exhaust) port. Oil enters and exits the
pump in the direction of its rotation.
Determine pump rotation by positioning the pump belly side down (see illustration above).
Looking at the rear of the pump if the suction (largest) port is to the left side, then the pump is a
CCW or left-hand rotation. If the suction (largest) port is on the right side, then the pump is CW
or right-hand rotation.
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Install the hydraulic pump to the P.T.O. (Bolts are not provided).
2. Install the hydraulic fittings into ports on the hydraulic pump as
shown on Pg. 5-10.
3. Connect the suction hose assembly to the hydraulic tank (1" I.D.
hose) and route to the hydraulic pump in as short and straight line
as possible. Be sure to route the hose clear of exhaust
components and of the drive shaft. Extra hose is provided so the
hose can be shortened to an appropriate length. Install the hose
on the hose barb fittings at the tank and at the pump and secure
with the hose clamps provided.
NOTE: Prior to startup, this hose must be filled with oil.
4. Connect pressure hose assembly (1/2” I.D. hose) to control valve
inlet and route to the pump the same as the suction line. This hose
is provided with only one fitting, so the hose can be shortened to
appropriate length. Remove the hose and shorten as required.
After the hose has been shortened, lubricate the insert threads of
the fitting and the I.D. of the hose. Measure1-3/16” from the end of
the hose and mark the hose for the socket depth. Screw hose into
the socket (left-hand thread) to the depth marked on the hose.
