8.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Following the instructions in the engine owner’s manual, start the engine. Operate the engine at full speed for maximum rescue tool 

speed and performance. Use the idle position only when the rescue tools are not being operated.
The GB2S-STDO is a simultaneous operation power unit. This means that two tools can be connected simultaneously and operated 

either independently or simultaneously.
In order to operate a tool that is connected to the power unit, the appropriate hose line must be charged by moving the knob on the 

corresponding selector valve to the pressure position (in line with the hose line to which the tool is connected). The selected tool is 

now operational.

To stop the flow of hydraulic fluid to each hose line, move the knob of the corresponding selector valve to the neutral position 

(perpendicular to the hose line). The selector valve should be in the neutral position when you are finished with an operation or 

anytime you wish to stop the flow of hydraulic fluid.

NOTICE

The minimum safe bend radius of the hoses is 4 inches (101.6 mm).

When you have finished operations, follow the instructions in the engine owner’s manual to stop the engine.
