NOTE:
Route houses through ring (5) on frame.
IMPORTANT
:
Minimum case drain hose size is 3/4 in. It
is recommended that the hose connects
directly to the hydraulic reservoir.
WARNING:
Hydraulic Lines. Protect hands
and body from high pressure fluids.
Pressurized fluids can penetrate the skin.
Disconnect and lock out power source before
disconnecting and/or connecting hydraulic
hoses.
NOTE:
Use hoses that are the same diameter size as
those used on the hydraulic motor. Using smaller
diameter hoses will decrease hydraulic efficiency.
IMPORTANT
:
It is the owner’s responsibility to assure
that the hydraulic hoses from the power
unit to the attachment are not caught
in pinch points, or in any way damaged
by moving parts. Make sure hoses are
secured closely to the excavator’s boom
to avoid getting caught in tree branches.
