a.
Inspect each hydraulic line, fitting, and hose for breaks, cracks, worn spots, bulges, chemical attack, kinks or any
other damage. Never try to stop any detected leak with any body parts. Do not put your face close to suspected
leaks. Hold a piece of cardboard close to suspected leaks and then inspect the cardboard for signs of hydraulic oil.
b.
Replace a damaged line, fitting or hose immediately. Never repair the part.
WARNING:
LIQUID UNDER HIGH PRESSURE CAN PIERCE THE SKIN, CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY. IN CASE OF INJURY, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
3.
The HydraPak uses flush-face quick-release couplings that are durable and easy to clean. Wipe the mating surfaces of
the couplings with a clean rag prior to making connection. They are always fitted such that the male coupling gives oil
and the female coupling receives oil.
a.
Connect the return (tank) line from the HydraPak tank port to the return port of the hydraulic tool.
b.
Then connect the pressure line from the hydraulic tool pressure port to the right (pressure) port on the HydraPak.
c.
When making connections, do not over stretch the hoses or bend them at a sharp angle.
WARNING:
ENSURE HYDRAULIC HOSES ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED AND IN GOOD CONDITION.

STARTING AND OPERATING THE HYDRAPAK
1.
Ensure the flow control lever is in the “off” (middle) position before starting.
2.
Move the engine choke control to start or choke position.
3.
Open fuel shut-off valve
4.
Put the throttle in the middle position when starting the engine.
5.
Ensure the auto idle toggle switch is in the down or “on” position.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE THE HYDRAPAK WITH THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED.
6.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key clockwise to the START position. Repeat if necessary using short starting
cycles (15 sec./min.). If using the pull start, the ignition key must be turned clockwise to the first or “run” position.
7.
After starting the engine, open the choke slowly towards the “run” position until engine runs smoothly. Opening the
choke fully requires an engine warm-up period of several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.
8.
Use the 5/8 knob to select an output of either 5 or 8 GPM in accordance with your hydraulic tool instruction manual.
Do not exceed the recommended flow and pressure for the hydraulic tool in use.
9.
Move the flow control lever to the up position to pressurize the top output and to the down position to pressurize the
bottom output.
