Hydraulic Output Control and Connectors
(Fig. 1)
Hydraulic output control (1) is used to control the flow
rate to the tool in use.
The hydraulic power pack must be connected by the
two detachable hoses (2 & 3) to the driven machine by
plugging in the male/female quick release couplings
before starting the engine.
Important: Connect the electrical box on the Tornado.
Move the hydraulic control all the way to the right. Do
not try to start the engine on the Power Pack until the
hoses between the Power Pack and the remote equip-
ment have been connected. Do not disconnect the hy-
draulic hoses when the power pack is running (if the
engine continues to run serious overheating will occur
as the oil continues to pass through the relief valve).
Starting/Stopping (Figs. 2/3)
Refer to the engine manual for addi-
tional information on starting the en-
gine. Position the throttle lever at the
maximum setting after the choke is
open. Move the hydraulic output con-
trol all the way to the left.
Honda GX240:
The engine is fitted with an Oil Alert system which is designed to prevent engine dam-
age caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. The oil alert system will
automatically shut down the engine before the oil in the crankcase can fall below a safe
limit.
Recoil Start Models: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Re-
turn it gently to prevent damage.
Stopping the engine: Move the hydraulic output control all the way to the right. Refer
to the engine manual for additional information on stopping the engine.
