Introduction

To operate the power pack efficiently and safely you must know the power pack and
have the skill to use it. If you are a new operator, you should become trained in the
skills of using a power pack before trying to work with it.

It is assumed that personnel carrying out maintenance have at least a sound knowledge
of workshop practice, safety procedures and general techniques associated with the re­pair of hydraulic equipment.

It is expected that components will be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated, where appro­priate, also that any opened hose connections will be blanked to prevent entry of dirt
and excessive loss of hydraulic fluid.

Serial numbers are stamped on a plate attached to the top of the unit.

It is important to quote the serial number when making repairs or ordering parts.

Safety Decals

Keep all decals clean and readable. Replace lost or damaged decals.

WARNING

!

Always use the fold down handles provided, when maneuvering the power pack.
Power packs are heavy pieces of equipment. Always adopt safe lifting practices
otherwise injury may occur.

Before Operating the Machine

 Check for Cleanliness

 Check for Damage

 Check for Leaks

 Make sure the fuel filler cap is tightly closed

 Check Hydraulic Oil Level

 Ensure the machine is positioned safely

 Ensure that all hydraulic couplings are fully serviceable.

 Ensure that any hydraulic tools you are planning to use are compatible with the mod-

el of the machine you are using.

 Check Engine Oil Level

 Check the Fuel

Never refuel with the engine running.

Operating in Low Temperatures

 Use the Correct Viscosity Engine Oil

See Engine Manufacturer's Handbook

 Fill the Fuel Tank at the End of each Working Period

 Protect the Machine When not in Use

Hydraulic Output Control and Connectors (Fig. 1)

Hydraulic output control (1) is used to control the flow
rate to the tool in use.

The hydraulic power pack must be connected by the
two detachable hoses (2 & 3) to the driven machine by
plugging in the male/female quick release couplings
before starting the engine.

Important: Connect the electrical box on the Tornado.
Move the hydraulic control all the way to the right. Do
not try to start the engine on the Power Pack until the
hoses between the Power Pack and the remote equip­ment have been connected. Do not disconnect the hy­draulic hoses when the power pack is running (if the
engine continues to run serious overheating will occur
as the oil continues to pass through the relief valve).

trol all the way to the left.

Honda GX240:

The engine is fitted with an Oil Alert system which is designed to prevent engine dam­age caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. The oil alert system will
automatically shut down the engine before the oil in the crankcase can fall below a safe
limit.

Temperature Idling Time

below -20°C 5 minutes

-20°C to -10°C 2 minutes

-10°C to 5°C 1 minute
above 5°C 20 seconds

Recoil Start Models: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Re­turn it gently to prevent damage.

Stopping the engine: Move the hydraulic output control all the way to the right. Refer
to the engine manual for additional information on stopping the engine.
