Description
Purpose
This instruction manual is intended to familiarize all
personnel with the safe operation and maintenance
procedures for the Fairmont F09/49617 (Serial Code
GBR) and F13/49618 (Serial Code GBT) Portable
Hydraulic Power Units.
Keep this manual available to all personnel.
Replacement manuals are available upon request at no
charge.
Purchase Record
When the tool is received, complete the following
record:
Model Number: _______________________________
Serial Number: _______________________________
Date of Purchase: _____________________________
The Fairmont Portable Hydraulic Power Units are
lightweight power sources intended for use with opencenter hydraulic tools. The F09 provides a variable flow
of 18.9 to 37.9 liters per minute (5 to 10 gallons per
minute) and a maximum pressure of 124 Bar (1800 psi).
The F13 provides a variable flow of 30 to 33 liters per
minute (8 to 9 gallons per minute) and a maximum
pressure of 140 Bar (2000 psi).
Their compact size and light weight allow use at remote
worksites that might not be accessible by a larger power
unit or hydraulic truck. The ability to get close to the
work area allows the use of shorter hydraulic hoses,
increasing tool efficiency.
The simple design of the hydraulic circuit and reliable
Honda gasoline-powered engine ensure years of
trouble-free operation, when serviced according to the
maintenance schedule.
Safety
Safety is essential in the use and maintenance of
Fairmont tools and equipment. This instruction manual
and any markings on the tool provide information for
avoiding hazards and unsafe practices related to the
use of this tool. Observe all of the safety information
provided.
Name of Fairmont Dealer: ______________________
A date code follows the serial number. The date code
consists of two alpha characters which identify year and
month of manufacture as follows:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not operate power unit without
safety guards in place.
• Keep all parts of the body and
loose clothing away from the
engine fan.
Engine, exhaust system, and other
components will be hot during and
after operation. Use care when
working around the power unit. Hot
surfaces can cause serious burns.
Do not let power unit engine run unattended.
Monitor the engine so that it can be shut down
immediately in case of a malfunction.
Failure to observe this warning can result in
severe injury or death.
• Inspect the hydraulic hoses and couplings every
operating day. Repair or replace if leakage, cracking, wear, or damage is evident. Damaged hoses
or couplings can fail, resulting in injury or property
damage.
• Use this power source for manufacturer’s intended
purpose only. Use other than that which is
described in this manual can result in injury or
property damage.
• Make sure all bystanders are clear of the work area
when handling, starting, and operating the power
source. Nearby personnel can be injured by flying
parts in the event of a tool malfunction.
Use appropriate lifting equipment. Make sure all
components used to lift this power unit are rated for
90 kg (200 lbs) and are securely attached to the
frame of the power unit. Inadequate components
may fail and cause the power unit to fall, resulting
in injury or property damage.
Hydraulic oil can cause skin irritation.
• Handle the tool and hoses with care to prevent
skin contact with hydraulic oil.
• In case of accidental skin contact with hydraulic
oil, wash the affected area immediately to
remove the oil.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in
injury.
Procedure for connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
hoses, fittings or components:
1. Rotate the flow control knob to the OFF
position.
2. Switch the engine OFF.
3. Follow the sequence under Hose Connections
to prevent pressure buildup. In case some
pressure has built up, loosen hoses, fittings or
components slowly.
Emergency stop procedure: Switch the engine OFF.
Note: Keep decals clean and legible. Replace decals
when necessary.

Operation (cont’d)
Transportation
Use appropriate lifting equipment. Make sure all
components used to lift this power unit are rated for
90 kg (200 lbs) and are securely attached to the
frame of the power unit. Inadequate components may
fail and cause the power unit to fall, resulting in injury
or property damage.
1. Stop the power unit. See Stopping the Power Unit
under Operation.
2. Allow the power unit to cool.
3. Attach lifting equipment securely to the frame of the
unit.
Pre-Start
1. Position the power source on firm level ground.
2. Refer to the engine owner’s manual to:
• Check the engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.
• Check the fuel level. Add fuel if necessary.
• Verify that any other maintenance has been
performed according to the schedule.
3. Connect the hoses and tool to the power unit. See
Hose Connections in this manual.
Stopping the Power Unit
Set the flow control knob to the OFF position before
shutting the engine off. Shutting the engine off with
the control knob in the ON position will allow gasoline
into the exhaust system.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in
property damage.
1. Rotate the flow control knob completely counterclockwise (OFF).
2. Move the engine control lever to the slowest setting.
Allow the engine to idle for a few moments.
3. Switch the engine OFF.
Starting the Power Unit
1. Rotate the flow control knob completely counterclockwise (OFF).
2. Refer to the engine owner’s manual to start the
engine. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to
warm the hydraulic fluid.
3. Move the control lever to the proper setting.
4. Rotate the flow control knob clockwise (ON) to
supply hydraulic power to the tool.
5. Refer to the tool owner’s manual for tool operating
instructions.
Tips for cold weather operation:
• See the engine manufacturer’s cold start instructions.
• Allow the engine a longer idle time to warm the
hydraulic fluid (with the hydraulic control knob in the
OFF position). Warm hydraulic fluid puts less internal
pressure on the hoses than cold hydraulic fluid.

life. See the tool owner’s manual and the engine
owner’s manual for the maintenance of those items.
Note: Keep decals clean and legible. Replace decals
when necessary.
Every 5 Hours
1. Check the engine crankcase oil level. See the
engine owner’s manual.
2. Check the hydraulic reservoir oil level. Add oil until
the sight tube indicates FULL. See Recommended
Hydraulic Fluids under Specifications.
Every 10 Hours
1. Wipe all surfaces clean.
2. Inspect the hydraulic hoses and fittings for signs
of leaks, cracks, wear or damage. Replace if
necessary.
Every Month
Perform a thorough inspection of the hydraulic hoses
and fittings as described in publication 999 3032.3,
SAE J1273 (Hose and Hose Assemblies).
Do not disconnect tool, hoses or fittings while the
power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid can cause serious burns.
Do not overfill the engine crankcase or the hydraulic
reservoir. Overfilling either of these will cause severe
internal damage and void the warranty.
Failure to observe this precaution will result in
damage to the power unit.
Procedure for connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
hoses, fittings or components:
1. Rotate the flow control knob to the OFF
position.
2. Switch the engine OFF.
3. Follow the sequence under Hose Connections
to prevent pressure buildup. In case some
pressure has built up, loosen hoses, fittings or
components slowly.
Every 100 Hours or Annually
Note: Perform this procedure more often if the power
source is used in cold, moist or dusty conditions.
1. Drain the hydraulic fluid reservoir.
2. Clean and flush the reservoir. Change the hydraulic
filter. Fill the reservoir with new, clean hydraulic
fluid. Add oil until the sight tube indicates FULL.
3. Operate the power unit to circulate the oil through
the hydraulic system. Stop the power unit and check
the hydraulic fluid level. Add oil until the sight tube
indicates FULL.
4. Dispose of used oil and filter in accordance with
federal, state and local laws.
Annual Inspection
If required by your organization’s regulations, have the
tool inspected by an authorized Fairmont service center.
