4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Cap•Start Hydraulic-Driven Package has a
comprehensive array of controls and indicators.
Understanding the correct operation of the sys-
tem will help you to understand and recognize
when it is operating optimally. The information
in the Operation Section will help the operator to
recognize and interpret the readings, which will
call for service or indicate the beginning of a mal-
function.
4.2 OPERATING CONDITIONS
1. Operate only in well-ventilated areas.
2. Ensure there are no obstructions of cooling
air intakes and outlets around the machine.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to leave suffi cient room around the
machine for cooling air circulation during
operation. There must be a minimum of ten (10)
inches for the cooler intake, and ten (10) inches
for the sides and rear. Heated air must be able
to vent away from the intake.
3. Do not leave anything resting on top of the
machine. Hot cooling air will generate high
heat and must not be restricted.
4. Operate machine with the top cover closed.
5. Refer to specifi cations (Section 2) for operat-
ing parameters.
4.3 INITIAL (FIRST-TIME)
START-UP
IMPORTANT
If start-up and shut-down procedures are not
followed, damage to the system and its compo-
nents may occur.

Flow control needs to be set by the installer for
closed center units.
The Cap•Start has been factory-tested and its air
and hydraulic valves have been adjusted to their
specifi ed operating settings.

and correct if required.
5. Move the PTO ON/ OFF switch to the OFF
position.
