MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Oil Grade Selection
Use the proper oil grade for the weather conditions
anticipated during operation.
Cold: -20°F to 40°F (-29°C to 4°C)
Use ISO 32 (10W) hydraulic fluid (full synthetic
strongly recommended). Alternate: 10W-30 motor oil
or ATF.
Automotive type crankcase oils with American
Petroleum Institute (API) letter designations SE, SF,
SG, SH or higher (per SAE J183) classes of oils are
acceptable. These types of oils generally exhibit less
shear stability, which can result in higher loss of
viscosity during service life.
IMPORTANT: In cold weather, always preheat the oil
in the tank with a magnetic tank heater to prevent
pump cavitation. Run the PTO pump at low speed for
at least 15 minutes to warm the system up before
operating under load.
Warm: 40°F to 100°F (4°C to 38°C)
Use ISO 32 (10W) or greater.
IMPORTANT: The oil cooler kit is mandatory in warm
temperatures to ensure proper oil temperatures are
maintained. Do not exceed oil temperatures of 180°F
(82°C).
NOTE: See page 25 for oil viscosity information.
5. Route the cooler fan wire harness (if equipped) to
the tractor battery. Connect the red (fused) wire
to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and the
black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fuse is operational
and rated for a minimum of 20 amps.
6. Connect the rear set of hydraulic quick couplers to
the lead hoses, and the cooler fan wire harness (if
equipped) to the cooler fan connector.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the quick couplers are
fully engaged. If couplers will not engage, do not
force quick couplers together.
NOTE: Attachment is shipped with 12FJX (1-
1/16” Female JIC Swivel) fittings on the ends of
the lead hoses.
7. Check all fittings to make sure they are tight.
8. Fill the tank with the correct grade of NEW
hydraulic oil (or other approved fluid) until the oil
level is centered in the sight gauge on the left side
of the tank. The tank capacity is 25 gallons (94 L),
but an additional 2 gallons (7.5 L) may be needed
to fill the hoses and attachment.
IMPORTANT: The optional hydraulic oil cooler
must be used in ambient air temperatures above
40°F (4°C) to prevent overheating.
9. Connect the two lead hoses together at the front
of the loader and test run the pump at low speed
to check for leaks and flush the system. Do not
flush the system with the lead hoses connected to
an attachment. After warm-up, run the system at
full throttle for at least 15 minutes to flush the
system of any contamination.
IMPORTANT: Always engage the PTO drive with
the engine at low speed. This is especially
important during cold weather start-ups.
10. Mounting is now complete and the PTO pump is
ready for operation.
