IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Industry testing shows that 95% of all pumps returned for warranty are due to improper usage and failure to follow recommended installation guidelines. To ensure the best possible performance of your new unit, please read the instructions below carefully PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
- OIL USED IN YOUR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN BEFORE INSTALLATION.
- PURGE THE COMPLETE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CLEAN OUT THE RESEVOIR.
- USE MAGNETIC FILTRATION (PLUGS, RODS AND FILTERS) IN ADDITION TO CONVENTIONAL FILTERS.
- FILTERS SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 250 HOURS
FILL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WITH MOBIL SYNTHETIC, SAE20W50 OIL
The hydrostatic transmission is a closed loop circuit. Use of other oils may result in an immediate loss of viscosity and lubrication. This will cause rapid deterioration of internal components and damage the pump and motor. This will also void your warranty.
- PRIME YOUR HYDRAULIC PUMP / MOTOR WITH SAE20W50 OIL. RUN AT LOWEST RPM AND ZERO PRESSURE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE SHOULD RUN FREELY AND NOT BUILD UP ANY LEAKS / HEAT. IF THE UNIT OPERATES PROPERLY, THE SPEED AND PRESSURE CAN BE INCREASED TO NORMAL SETTINGS.
- A 10 MICRON FILTER SHOULD BE USED AT THE RETURN LINE TO KEEP THE OIL CLEAN.
- EXCESSIVE SIDE AND END LOADING ON THE PUMP / MOTOR SHAFT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE
EXCEEDING THE PUMP / MOTOR'S PERFORMANCE CAPABILITES WILL RESULT IN REDUCED PUMP / MOTOR LIFE AND FAILUR. CONTACT US FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY
