A pressurized reservoir is not recommended for
vehicles, as its complexity invites too much po-
tential for loss of system reliability if it is not prop-
erly maintained.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
Do not operate machine without hydraulic sys-
tem completely assembled.
Refer to Figure 3-1 or Figure 3-2.
Flow controller is optional to reduce fl ow if neces-
sary. Consult Vanair

HYDRAULIC LINES
The following is a minimum requirement and NO
quick disconnects may be used. Lines are to be
kept as straight and short as possible.
• Pressure port = Standard, #12, 3/4” hose (lo-
cated at manifold block)
• Load sense = #4 JIC = 1/4” hose (Used for
closed center system only)
• Pressure relief/case drain = #6 JIC = 3/8” hose
• Hydraulic suction = Standard, #16, 1” hose
3.4.3 STANDARDS GUIDELINES
• Hydraulic pressure relief factory set at 3200
PSI.
3.5 INSTALLATION
3.5.1 MACHINE LOCATION
It is vital to locate the machine so that there is
no restriction of cooling air through the enclosure
(Refer to Figure 3-1). Cooling air enters the en-
closure at the rear (cooler) package end of the
machine, passes through the cooler and exits
through vents in the upper sides and the front.
3.5.2 CLEARANCES
Refer to Figure 3-1. Ensure that adequate sur-
rounding clearance space exists around the ma-
chine to allow for adequate cooling ventilation
through the canopy shroud, unobstructed service
access, and a clear view of the control panel. An
approximate recommendation of ten (10) inches
clearance, minimum, is needed for proper cool-
ing circulation, plus any additional service access
room included where needed.
3.5.3 MACHINE STABILIZATION AND
GROUNDING
Machine should be mounted to vehicle using a
minimum of four (4) isolators. Isolators absorb vi-
bration. Isolators are included with the machine.
NOTE
An isolator replacement kit is available from
Vanair
®
; order bolt down isolator no. KIT1202-
001 (kit contains four [x4] isolators).
WARNING
GROUNDING STRAP: If the machine and/or
instrument panel respectively are isolated from
contacting the chassis (paint fi berglass body,
rubber mounts, etc.), then the machine must
be grounded to the truck chassis with a mini-
mum two (2) ga wire (reference Vanair ground
strap no. 267498).
If the machine is bonded by traditional hard
mounting (metal to metal contact with chas-
sis), then the grounding strap is not required.
3.5.4 SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 3-2. Service connections are
conveniently grouped at the lower rear section of
the unit in the base frame.
3.5.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to Figure 3-2. Connect the electrical supply
connector, located at the connection port panel
end of the unit. This system is off ered with 12V
DC circuits.
3.5.6 HYDRAULIC SUPPLY CIRCUIT
Refer to the proper hydraulic fl ow schemat-
ic drawing (Sections 7.19 through 7.22) that
matches the machine model build. It is recom-
mended that the Cap•Start unit possesses a sep-
arate pump/fl ow/return hydraulic circuit to other
hydraulic equipment. This is to prevent the pos-
