General Safety Information
DISCONNECT POWER AND RELEASE ALL SYSTEM
PRESSURE BEFORE SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
2. Never exceed the maximum operating speed or pres-
sure.
3. When using AC motors, ground the motor properly by
wiring with a grounded, metal-clad raceway system,
using a separate ground wire connected to bare metal
of the motor frame, or other suitable means.
4. Guard all moving parts.
5. Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.
6. Check hoses and connections for security before each
use.
7. Periodically check the pump/fluid motor and system
components.
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut off or obstructed.
9. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with
pumps/fluid motors.
10. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly light-
ed; replace all unused tools and equipment.
11. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
12. Make the workshop child-proof with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing start keys.
13. Do not operate an engine in an enclosed area.
14. Do not spill gasoline on hot engine surfaces.
15. Store gasoline only in an approved container.
16. Keep dirty and oily cleaning rags in a tightly closed
metal container.
17. Check engine oil level before operating the engine.
18. Familiarize yourself with the controls and emergency
shutdown procedures.
19. Never operate the equipment when you are fatigued.
20. All system components pressure ratings should be
greater than maximum system pressure.
21. Guard all moving parts.
22. Replace all guards when servicing is complete.
Assembly
Our hydraulic gear motors are packaged fully assembled
and require no further assembly before installation.
1. Remove plastic shipping plugs from the inlet and out-
let ports.
2. Squirt clean oil into motor for pre-lubrication and
start-up.
3. Turn motor drive shaft slowly to ensure the internal
parts are lubricated.
4. Install plastic shipping plugs in to inlet and outlet until
hoses are installed.
5. Bolt the motor loosely to the application.
6. Make sure the motor shaft does not have a side load
on it due to misalignment.
7. Tighten the mounting bolts.
8. Connect inlet, outlet, and case drain lines with an SAE
straight thread fitting and tighten.
THREADS ARE SAE, NOT NPTF. USING INCORRECT
FITTINGS COULD DAMAGE THE HYDRAULIC
COMPONENT OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: Do not use teflon tape; the O-ring provides the
seal and teflon tape is not required.
9. To avoid building up pressure on the case drain and
shaft seal, the outlet hose diameter should be as large
as possible and outlet hose length should be as short as
possible.
Note: A case drain line must be installed connecting
the case drain port directly to the reservoir with no
restrictions.
10. Bleed all air from the system to prevent erratic opera-
tion and ensure easy motor start up.
NOTE: Be sure adequate cooling for the hydraulic oil is
provided. Excessive temperatures can cause damage to
oil and/or system components. Cooling of oil is espe-
cially important on systems where continuous operation
is required. Cooling requirements must be based on:
duty cycle, pressure/flow, ambient temperatures, oil and
component maximum temperature specifications, and
reservoir capacity. Systems operating at excessively high
temperatures can be hazardous and may cause property
damage and/or personal injury.
NOTE: When the ambient temperature is below 32°F,
allow the system pump to operate unloaded for several
minutes to warm the oil in the reservoir.
