Using Hydraulic Cylinder Implement (Continued)
2. Start Engine:
• Confirm the valve handle is in the neutral position (all units used to run cylinders should have a valve
present in the system).
• 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:
• To raise the cylinder, push the handle in the forward direction until the desired height is reached, then
release the handle (it will automatically return to the center position). Important: block or lock the
implement at the desired height. If the implement is not locked into position, the Hydraulic Power
Pack will allow the cylinder to drift.
• To lower the cylinder, push the handle in the reverse direction until the desired height is reached, then
release the handle (it will automatically return to the center position).
4. To Stop or Remove Attached Implement with Hydraulic Cylinder(s):
• To remove the unit, first place the implement cylinder in the fully retracted position (so the rod is inside
the cylinder barrel).
• Then, verify the valve handle is in the center (neutral) position.
• Turn the engine off using on/off switch located on engine.
• Move the valve handle to the forward position for four (4) to five (5) seconds, then to the reverse
position for four (4) to five (5) seconds to release system pressure.
• If hoses are connected with quick disconnects, disconnect the hoses.
