OPERATION
START UP
Before starting the engine make sure the flow selector switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE
: The power unit will not start if the flow control switch is not in the “OFF” position.
•
Pull choke knob out and move the Throttle Control Switch to the auto-idle-off or the auto-idle-on position, whichever
mode of operation the operator prefers. Ensure the flow selector switch is in the OFF position.
• Turn the Ignition Switch to the START position. After the engine starts, release the switch.
• Gradually push in the choke knob as the engine begins to idle smoothly.
• Allow the engine to warm up.
• Connect hoses and the tool
FOR 5 gpm (19 l/min) OPERATION
• For 5 gpm (19 l/min) operation, select mode of operation with the Throttle Control switch, either auto-idle-on or the
auto-idle-off position. Move the flow selector switch to the 5 gpm position.
• When finished operating the tool, move the flow selector switch to the OFF position.
FOR 8 gpm (30 l/min) OPERATION
• For 8 gpm (30 l/min) operation, select mode of operation with the Throttle Control Switch, either auto-idle-on or the
auto-idle-off position. Move the flow selector switch to the 8 gpm (30 l/min) position.
• When finished operating the tool, move the flow selector switch to the OFF position.
COLD WEATHER START UP
1. Use the procedures described under “STARTUP” and then follow the procedure below.
2. Hydraulic fluids are thicker in cold weather. Therefore, it is recommended that the engine be run at low idle long
enough to bring the fluid temperature up to a minimum of 50˚F (10˚C).
3. If the tools and tool hoses are cold, it is recommended to allow hydraulic fluid to circulate through the tool hoses
until warm before using the tool.
SHUTDOWN
1. Ensure the flow selector switch in the OFF position (center position).
2. Unless already at idle the power unit should return to idle. This may take a few seconds for the unit to react due to a
built-in program delay.
3. Allow the engine to idle for approximately one minute and move the Ignition Switch to the OFF position.
