The manifold can be mounted in several locations based on installer preference, trailer construction
and other installed equipment. The most common mounting locations are under the front shield, on the
driver’s side of the exterior front wall or on the driver’s side landing gear.
See Section 3.6 for hydraulic plumbing installation considerations before choosing a location and
installing the manifold.
1. If the manifold is mounted below the front shield it is recommended that the front shield or trailer wall
be hinged or fitted with a door/panel to gain access to the manifold after it is installed to facilitate
adjustment, inspection and maintenance.
2.
Determine the orientation and location of the manifold and manifold fittings based on hose/tube
routing requirements, clearance requirements and valve access.
•
When mounting the manifold under the front shield position, the manifold and manifold mounting
bracket must be installed so that hydraulic hoses will not interfere with the operation of the floor
slats. A clearance distance of 2-1/2” to 3” [64 mm to 76 mm] above the top of the slats works well.
•
Maintain at least 1” [25 mm] clearance between any part of the CleenSweep
®
system assembly
and the floor slats.
3. Attach the manifold mounting bracket to the trailer by welding or using 3/8” [10 mm] nuts, washers,
locking washers and bolts of appropriate length (not supplied).
4. The manual override knob on electric systems and the manual valve knob on manual systems must
be accessible from the outside of the trailer. This will require a hole through the wall of the trailer or an
appropriate access panel in the wall of the trailer if the manifold is mounted below the front shield.
•
For manual systems the knob may be removed temporarily and reattached on the opposite side of
the wall after mounting the manifold with the valve body inserted through a 1-1/4” [32 mm] hole in
the trailer wall.
•
An extension (not supplied) may be fitted to the manual valve stem if necessary. The valve stem
knob may be removed and the valve stem is threaded 1/4”-20 UNC.
5. Attach the manifold to the manifold mounting bracket using the supplied 3/8”-16 X 5 3/4” bolts [M10 x
1.5 x 150 mm bolts] locking nuts, and washers.
3.6 Hydraulic Plumbing Installation
The manifold is plumbed into the hydraulic system between the pump and the
WALKING FLOOR
®
drive. All fluid traveling to and from the drive goes through the CleenSweep
®
system manifold first -this
requires rerouting some of the existing trailer hydraulic plumbing. Careful planning is necessary before
making any modifications to the existing trailer plumbing. Due to the wide variety of existing plumbing
configurations and possible CleenSweep
®
system manifold installation options specific plumbing details
including hose/tube lengths, etc are not provided.
All ports on the manifold are labeled. There are two ports each for the winch pressure, winch return,
pressure out to floor, return from floor, and return to tank to allow several mounting/plumbing options. The
manifold is shipped with one of the paired ports plugged but it may be necessary to swap plugs/fittings for
certain installations.
•
All components, lines and fittings must be kept absolutely clean to prevent contamination of the
hydraulic system.
•
Keith recommends installing a High-Pressure filter before the manifold.
•
Ensure all hoses and tubes are adequately protected from moving parts and possible damage
from material loading by providing at least 1” [25 mm] clearance from moving parts, firmly clamping
hoses and tubing in place and using shields or guards where applicable. Use rubber grommets or
equivalent protection when routing through cross-members, walls or other structures.
•
Keep bends and fittings to a minimum.
•
All hoses, tubes and fittings must be suitable for a working pressure of at least 3000 PSI [207 bar].
