HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
It is to not necessary to connect to the tractor hydraulics. The second pump, mounted on the PTO -
driven gearbox, provides the hydraulic supply to the control valve for operation of the rams. A diverter valve
in the main rotor drive circuit, operated by remote cable control, allows the rotor unit to be stopped while
the PTO drive is in operation. See
FIGURE 3-6 .

tions
C. Fill tank with 150 liters (40 gal) of oil.
