WARNING:
Never operate the system with the pump case drain plugged. Damage to the pump
seals will result. To do so will void the system’s warranty.
Lubricate hose fitting o-rings with clean hydraulic fluid (Dexron III) before
installation to prevent damage to them.
Hose Installation Guidelines
Never install a hose without first flushing it with clean hydraulic fluid to remove any
debris.
Never install a hose in a location where it will rub against an abrasive surface or
sharp edge or corner.
Do not position hoses with tight bend radii. Tight bends may kink and cause
serious damage to the system. Consult the hose manufacturer’s guidelines when
installing hoses.
Use caution when tightening the hose ends to prevent the hose from becoming
twisted.
Never install a 90° fitting at the pump outlet or inlet.
Never use an inlet line fitting less than 1”.
Never install a hose tightly between connections. Leave length for the hoses to
expand.
Do not form loops in the hose that may collect air or cause kinking. Run hose as
straight as possible (but not taut) between connections.
To keep debris out of hoses while being positioned, cover the ends.
Do not bundle installed hoses tightly together with banding. Hoses must have
freedom to expand.
Do not operate the system with external stresses applied to the hydraulic hoses.
The A.C. modular hydraulic system generates hydraulic pressure approaching 5000
psi. A ruptured hose may result, causing personal injury or damage to the system.
Do not put any substance into the reservoir other than clean, fresh Dexron III
hydraulic fluid. Doing so will void the system’s warranty.

Connect the vehicle’s breaker panel to the generator output. The generator is pre-
wired to supply 120/240 VAC, with the generator frame bonded to ground. Route
the generator output conduit/wiring to the breaker panel, and carefully cut the
conduit to length without cutting the wire insulation. A conduit connector has been
