Using Hydraulic Motor Implement

NOTICE: Match Quick Disconnect Couplers

If necessary, replace coupler fittings with implement-matching couplers. Brave does not recommend using

multiple adapters; they may restrict flow and limit operation.

1. Connect Hoses (Engine Off)

• Before connecting your implement hoses to the Hydraulic Power Pack, you must determine which hose

is the pressure or forward acting hose. Consult your implement owner’s manual or labels to determine

which hose is the “SUPPLY” hose.

• Models HBHR are equipped with a spring to center 3 position 4-way hydraulic valve. The handle will

center itself to neutral when the operator removes his hand from the valve. This type of valve can cycle

both hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Refer to the diagram below to determine what port is

supply and return when the handle is shifted in either direction. Exercise caution when powering

equipment where damage can occur if the oil flow is reversed. Understand the flow of oil with respect

to the handle operation on your power unit if equipped with a directional control valve.

• Models HBHS can be ordered with quick coupler plumbing kits, directional control valve plumbing

kits, and HBHS600 units can be equipped with a return line heat exchanger kit. Please refer to the kit

directions to determine the supply & return ports of the directional control valve or quick coupler

plumbing kit.

2. Start Engine:

• If equipped with control valves, confirm the valve handle is in the neutral position.

• If equipped without a control valve, confirm supply and return lines are properly plumbed to the driven

equipment safely and securely.

• Start engine per manufacturer’s instructions.

• Place the engine throttle control lever in the fast position.

3. Normal Operation Mode:

• Forward-Reverse operations are activated when the operator cycles the spring to center valve (if

equipped) on the power unit. If the power unit isn’t equipped with a directional control valve, please

refer to the power equipment owner’s manual for proper operation of the power equipment.

CAUTION: Reverse Operation Equipment Damage

The Hydraulic Power Pack has a bidirectional valve that allows you to reverse the direction of an implement

motor (or pump). Before using the reverse feature, consult your implement owner’s manual to make sure the

motor (or pump) can be reversed. Using reverse oil flow in a non-reversing pump or motor can result in damage

to your implement.
