7.2.2 MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. Remove the black cover from the power unit by removing
the bolts on either end of the unit.
2. Determine the location for the power unit. To allow for
easier service, make sure the black cover can be
removed and the sight gauge is visible.
3. The power unit has been shipped with the kinetic
bushings and mounting brackets installed.
4. Install and tighten the 4 mounting bolts.
7.2.3 FILLING THE UNIT
1. Remove the black vent cap with a 12mm Hex Key.
2. Unscrew the red reservoir fill cap and fill the hydraulic
fluid reservoir until the sight gauge is completely full.
3. Replace the black vent cap and the red reservoir fill cap.
7.2.4 CONNECTING THE PRESSURE AND RETURN HOSES
Connect the pressure and return hoses as follows:
If AMKUS standard couplers are being used
, be sure the pressure line has a male coupler at the end of the reel. The return line will
have a female coupler at the end of the reel.
If AMKUS Mono Couplers are being used
, be sure the pressure line is connected to the pressure port (P) of the female Mono Coupler
and the return line is connected to the tank port (T) of the female Mono Coupler.

NOTICE
Use of hydraulic fluids other than AMKUS MV1 or MV0 (see Specifications for fluid for specific tool
lines) can result in equipment damage and loss of function. Some examples include:
• Phosphate ester hydraulic fluids and blends are incompatible with Buna-N seal and hose
materials used in AMKUS Rescue Systems
• Mixing glycol with mineral oils can result in gelling and plugging of pump inlet screens
• Using fluids with wrong viscosity or wear properties. Always use AMKUS MV1 or MV0 as
specified for your tools.
