MODEL BTC-150 HYDRAULICS
HYDRAULICS
The Bandit is equipped with a very efficient, simple
hydraulic system. Each component is capable of
withstanding a specified PSI (bar) and still operate
for a very long time.
If the simple rules mentioned below are followed, the
hydraulic components will last for years:
•After you have operated a new machine for
approximately an hour shut down the machine and
recheck all hydraulic fittings for tightness and leaks.
• Avoid hydraulic pump cavitation. Low oil levels
or cold start-ups will cause the hydraulic pump to
cavitate. Cavitation will ruin the pump and possibly
the entire hydraulic system. Cavitation only has to
happen once. This will start the pump on its way to
ruin. Allow hydraulic system to turn slowly for several
minutes in cold weather in order for hydraulic system
to warm up. Cavitation is not covered under warranty.
• Do not increase the relief valve settings beyond
specified PSI (bar). This will cause damage to
hydraulic components. Do not set any other hydraulic
component past it’s specified pressure or this will
cause damage to the hydraulic components.
• Keep hydraulic oil clean. Dirty oil will cause
excessive wear and loss of hydraulic power.
• Replace the hydraulic oil filter(s) after first 10 hours
and with each 400 hours of operation or 3 months.
• Replace hydraulic oil & suction screen(s) at least
once yearly. This is also a very good time to flush and
clean the tank. Replace hydraulic oil immediately if it is
contaminated or looks “milky”. See pages 51 - 52
for hydraulic oil requirements.
• If the Bandit’s hydraulic system is kept clean and
the hydraulic pressures are not increased beyond the
specified PSI (bar), the maximum use and life should
be received from the hydraulic system.
• If a problem is encountered, it will more than likely
be located in the relief valve or something as simple
as belts or clutch slipping, check these first.
• Do not close the hydraulic shut-off valve for more
than 3 to 4 seconds. Hydraulic shut-off valve handle
must be completely turned on (in line with hose) at all
times unless checking hydraulic pressure. Pressure
gauge should be safely stored and installed only
when checking pressure. Follow above instructions or
this will cause unwarranted damage to the hydraulic
components.
• Never close the ball valves on the hydraulic
tank suction ports (if equipped) while the machine
is running, this will ruin the hydraulic pump and
components.
• Some component manufacturers require different
specific hydraulic lubrication, such as gear boxes,
undercarriage drives, etc. Refer to their manuals and
maintenance section of this manual.
THE BANDIT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is very important after you have operated a new machine for approximately an hour to shut down the machine
and recheck all hydraulic fittings. Retighten as needed.
DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS! High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury, gangrene,
or death. Avoid burns from fluid. Hot fluid under pressure can cause severe burns. DO NOT use fingers or skin to
check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings. Relieve all pressure in the system
before disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other work. Use a piece of cardboard to find leaks. Never use
your bare hands. Allow system to cool down to ambient temperature before opening any coolant or hydraulic oil
system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic system idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the system to warm
up to operating temperature.
WARNING
!
DO NOT operate this machine unless all hydraulic control devices operate properly. They must function,
shift and position smoothly and accurately at all times. Faulty controls can cause personal injury!
WARNING
!
After the initial start-up of the machine and after any replacement of hydraulic components, fittings and
hoses must be re-checked for leaks and clearances.
CAUTION
!
