Hydro-600
General Installation
The Hydro-600 is a hydraulically-driven AC generator that will deliver its rated
output power when the proper flow at 2000 PSI is connected to its hydraulic drive. Oil
temperature should be between 100-140° F. A 10 micron filter is also recommended to
maintain the drive at its maximum performance. Depending on the size of the reservoir,
an oil cooler must be used; the smaller the reservoir, the larger the cooler.
The tank should NEVER be smaller than 2 times the required GPM.
When starting a new hydraulic system, we strongly recommend that you connect the
pressure line to the return line, bypassing the hydraulic generator drive. Operate the
system for 10 minutes that way. This will clean the system; otherwise all kinds of
problems will occur. After connecting the pressure and return line to the generator’s
hydraulic drive, start your system at a low speed, slowly increasing the speed until you
reached the proper operating speed. While setting up a hydraulically-driven generator, it
is necessary to check the speed setting of the hydraulic drive,(No Load speed=3720,
Full Load speed =3600 RPM) since most systems will
vary in many ways (temperature - flow - viscosity/type of oil - etc.) from our test set up.
NEVER allow the generator to exceed 3900 RPM.
The return line pressure, under no circumstances, should reach 100 PSI or seal-failure
will occur.
The case drain must be connected directly to the tank (do NOT connect to return line).
Return line must be 3/4 or larger.
