Diamond Products CB240 - Manual (Page 28)

ELECTRIC:
 Set the flow control valve to zero.
 Be certain the stop switch has been
pulled out.
 Be certain the unit is connected to the
proper voltage and a proper gage
power cord is used.
 Press the start button at the top of the
starter box.
DANGER: Exhaust from the gas engine
contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous, odorless, invisible gas,
which can cause serious illness or
death. Do not operate the gas engine
where ventilation is restricted. Open
windows and doors may not be
sufficient to prevent this hazard.
Heating Cold Oil: Forcing the oil over
relief will quickly increase the oil
temperature. With no tool connected to the
unit, move the valve setting toward 10.
This will force an increasing percentage of
oil over relief. Heat cold oil to room
temperature or ~100F/38C maximum. Cold
oil greatly increases pressure loss in hoses
and fittings and may affect tool operation.
Maintaining Oil Temperature: With an
ample water supply, it is unlikely
overheating will be an issue except in the
most extreme ambient temperatures. To
force high oil temperatures down, run the
unit with the flow control set to zero. This
unloads the unit yet circulates oil through
the cooling system. The rate of cooling will
depend on the ambient temperature and
how much water is being passed through
the cooler.
Some control valves at the external tool
may create backpressure and heat even
when off. It is best to set the flow control to
zero or shut the power unit down to avoid
heating and conserve energy.
IMPORTANT: Monitor the thermometer
at the top of the hydraulic tank.
Maximum recommended oil
temperature is 180 degrees Fahrenheit
(82 deg C).
Shutting Down:
GAS:
 Shift the flow control valve to zero to
unload the system.
 Throttle the engine back to a low RPM.
 Turn the key to the off position.
IMPORTANT: The red emergency stop
button at the front panel will
immediately stop the engine. Hydraulic
pressure and flow will go to zero. This
button must be in the out position to
start the engine.
ELECTRIC:
 Shift the flow control valve to zero to
unload the system.
 Press the stop button at the top of the
starter box.
