STARTING CHECKLIST

STARTING PROCEDURE

WARNING
ASPHYXIATION HAZARD
Running an engine in a confi ned or badly ventilated
area can result in injury or death due to asphyxiation
or carbon monoxide poisoning.
NOTICE:
STARTING THE FIRST TIME
If the power pack was received without hydraulic oil in the
tank and hoses, the oil levels must be checked carefully
before using it for the fi rst time.
A new empty hydraulic hose set will require approx. 1.8
liters (2 quarts) of oil.
After starting the power pack and turning the fl ow selector
to the desired setting, the oil will fi ll the hydraulic hoses.
Before putting the machine to work the hydraulic oil tank
level should be checked.
Stop the engine and add hydraulic oil as needed.
Before starting;
Always set the fl ow controller to "0" before starting.
Connect the hoses to the tool and to the power pack.
The AUTOMATIC THROTTLE switch can be turned to
either ON or OFF.
After starting;
Let the engine warm up for 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn the FLOW SELECTOR to the desired setting. This ma-
kes the hydraulic oil fl ow from the pump through the hoses
to the tool.
In cold weather we recommend letting the power pack
pump the oil through the hoses and the tool until the tem-
perature of the oil has reached a minimum of 10°C (50°F)
before using the tool. This ensures the proper function of
the automatic throttle.
See page 13 for a full explanation on how to adjust the
sensitivity of the AUTOMATIC THROTTLE function.
