Filtration Requirements:

• A filter of, at least, 25 micron filtration is required. A filter capable of 10 micron

filtration is preferred. The majority of paper type filters are 25 microns or better.

• A low pressure type filter can be installed in the return line from the control valves to

the sump. A low pressure type filter can, also, be installed in the sump or pump intake

line, but must be sized large enough to avoid starving the pump.

• A high pressure type filter can be used between the pump and the control valves.

• If the source of the hydraulic power does not have a filter, it will be necessary to install

one at some point in the system so, at least, part of the hydraulic oil is being filtered

whenever the system is operating. After a filter is installed and before attaching the

Postmaster/Slab Blaster, the entire hydraulic system should be drained, filled with new

oil, and operated for 30 minutes or until the system is warm. During this run time,

operate all valves, cylinders, and hydraulic motors on the attachment.

Pressure and Flow Requirements:

• The Postmaster/Slab Blaster is designed to operate at 12 GPM and 2000 PSI.

Valve Requirements:

• The hydraulic system used to power the Postmaster/Slab Blaster should be equipped

with a four-way valve large enough to carry full pump outlet without restricting flow

and causing oil heating.

• The four-way valve requires a relief valve which will open and relieve extreme

pressures between the Postmaster/Slab Blaster and control valve, even when the control

valve is in a neutral position. This feature can be obtained by connecting two external

relief valves between the main lines running from the control valve to the Postmaster/

Slab Blaster in such a way that high pressure in either line will be relieved to the other

line.

Hydraulic Fluid Selection Requirements:

• Premium grade petroleum based fluids will provide the best performance.

• Fluids that contain anti-wear agents, rust inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, and oxidation

inhibitors are recommended.

• The viscosity of the fluid should never fall below 70 SUS (13 cST). The best

viscosity range of the Postmaster/Slab Blaster is 100-200 SUS (20-43 cST).



NOTE

The life of the hydraulic motor is almost entirely dependent upon cleanliness

of the oil. Instructions in your vehicle operator’s manual regarding filter and

oil changes should be carefully followed. Even small amounts of dirt in the

hydraulic oil can cause premature motor failure that is not covered by warranty.
