HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The FloStat
®
hydraulic unit's valve manifold
includes relief valves to prevent damage to the
blade or vehicle if an obstacle is hit at either end
of the blade. The valves are preset at the factory
and do not need any adjustments unless the valve
manifold is serviced. When force against the
blade causes the pressure in an extended ram to
exceed set limits, the relief valve opens allowing
fl uid to escape and the ram retracts.
For hydraulic fl uid type and fi lling instructions, see
"Annual Fluid Change" under "Hydraulic System"
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
