PumpRight Hydraulic Connections
Hydraulic Hose
SureFire recommends
1/2”
hydraulic hose for both pump inlet and outlet. The hoses will
need #8 JIC female swivel fittings.

Installation
Overview
Where do I get hydraulic flow for my PumpRight?
This question is often asked as many implements use up all the hydraulic connections on a tractor. SureFire
has some recommendations as to what works best.
Best Option
-
Dedicated PumpRight Circuit
If you have a tractor remote available, attach the tractor remote valve
directly to the PumpRight pressure and return ports. DO NOT try to avoid this
method simply to save another set of hydraulic hoses running to the tractor. Operating
the PumpRight on it
’
s own circuit is the simplest for installation and operation. It guarantees the
PumpRight won
’
t negatively affect any other hydraulic components on your equipment.
Alternate Option
-
In Series with CCS Fan
If you do not have a tractor remote valve available, this may be your best method. You can plumb the
PumpRight after the CCS seed distribution fan.
If using this method, the SureFire PWM bypass valve
must be open
(see previous page for instruction & picture). If bypass is left closed, the SureFire valve will
limit the speed of the CCS fan.
The CCS fan uses around 7 GPM of oil. This will limit the PumpRight maximum flow (9 GPM oil necessary
for maximum flow). See the charts on the next page for adjusted maximum pump flow. See section G for
flow charts to determine your necessary flow rate. If you absolutely need the maximum flow in this case,
SureFire has an alternate motor (smaller displacement) to increase pump speed at 7 GPM oil flow.
DO NOT plumb the PumpRight in series with a vacuum fan.
The vacuum fan uses just a few GPM of oil.
Also, problems will be caused by excessive pressure at the vacuum fan motor.
Two PumpRights
The preferred method is to plumb the two pumps in series.
DO NOT plumb two pumps after the CCS fan.
Excessive pressures may damage the CCS fan motor. Run the pressure line from tractor to first pump inlet.
Plumb from the outlet of Pump 1 to the Inlet of Pump 2, then from Pump 2 outlet back to the tractor. Open
the bypass needle valve fully on both pumps so each valve controls motor speed independently. Run the
flow setting procedure on the next page to minimize the hydraulic flow based on the pump that requires more
hydraulic motor flow.
