COUPLERS (HOSE CONNECTIONS)
Facing the control panel, the top (2) male couplers are
the PRESSURE FLUID OUT ttings. The bottom (2)
female quick disconnect couplers are the RETURN
FLUID IN. Their are two independent circuits, one on the
left and one on the right, each controlled by the adjacent
lever.
When the throttle control lever is in the far left position,
it will produce 5 GPM to both circuits. With the lever in
the far right position will produce 8 GPM to both circuits.
This allows two tools that can run simultaneously at 5 or
8 GPM.
The ow control levers, when turned “ON” (up position),
turns on ow.
STARTUP
1. Before starting the engine, check the engine oil and
hydraulic uid level.
2. Check to make sure the ow Control levers are in
the OFF position (Down). The power unit will not
start if the levers are in the “UP” position (ON).
3. Connect hoses and the tool as described in “Hose
Recommendations” on page 9.
4. It is not necessary to choke the engine. The engine
is equipped with an electronic fuel management
system and does not have a manual choke.
5. Set the throttle control lever to the left (5-GPM)
setting. Once the unit starts and is warmed-up the
lever can be moved to the 8-GPM setting if desired.
6. Turn the Ignition Switch to the START position. After
the engine starts, release the switch.
7. Allow the engine to warm up.
8. Turn on the ow to the tool by lifting the ow control
levers up into the “ON” position, lift both levers if
running two circuits.
SHUTDOWN
1. Ensure the ow control levers are in the OFF position
(Down).
2. Move the Ignition Switch to the OFF position.
