Using Hydraulic Motor Implement
NOTICE: Match Quick Disconnect Couplers
The Hydraulic Power Pack is equipped with1/2” quick-disconnect couplers. If necessary, replace with
implement-matching couplers. Brave does not recommend 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 owners manual or labels to determine
which hose is the “SUPPLY” hose.
Once the implement SUPPLY port has been determined, connect this SUPPLY hose to Hydraulic
Power Pack’s port labeled “SUPPLY” (port closest to the engine). Connect the implements RETURN
line to Hydraulic Power Pack’s port labeled “RETURN”.
2. Normal Operation Mode:
Place the control valve handle in the center (neutral) position.
Re-start warmed-up engine per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Place the engine throttle control lever in the fast position.
Push the valve handle slowly inward until it locks in position and implement is operational.
TO STOP: You must manually pull the handle back to the center (neutral) position
NOTICE: When using the Hydraulic Power Pack to auger corn or beans, position the unit to the furthest upwind
point from the auger intake or chaff cleaner if possible. This will prevent chaff from plugging the engine air filter and
cooling fins.
3. Reverse Operation Mode: (See Caution below)
To reverse the direction of an attached motor:
Pull the valve handle outward to the center (neutral) position.
Wait until the attachment motor comes to a complete STOP.
Pull the valve handle out slowly and hold it.
NOTICE: As a safety precaution, the reverse valve position is spring loaded to return to the center (neutral) position
when released. You must hold the valve handle in the reverse position for reverse operation.
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 owners 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.
4. Stopping or Removing Attached Implement with Hydraulic Motor:
To turn off the motor, first place the valve handle in the center (neutral) position.
Turn the engine off.
Allow the motor to come to a complete stop.
Operate any switches or valves on the motor to relieve pressure.
Move the Hydraulic Power Pack 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 relieve pressure.
Operate any other valves or switches on accessory items to relieve pressure.
Disconnect the hoses.
