HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

Refer to Hydraulic System Specification.

IMPORTANT:

It  is  vital  to  ensure  that  all  hose  lengths  are  kept  to  a  minimum.  Pressure  and  flowloss  is  increased  as  hose  length

increases and/or bore size decreases. Pressure and return lines in excess of 3.5 meters (11.5’) should be compensated with an increase
in nominal bore size.

As a general rule;

Bigger Nominal Bore Hose = Better Winch Performance.

In all installation work on a hydraulic system, cleanliness and accuracy are essential so that the hydraulic system functions properly.
