• Inspect hydraulic hose fittings for leaks. Tighten if necessary, and replace
worn or damaged hoses.
• Inspect hydraulic mount bolts for tightness.
D URING THE F IRST F EW M INUTES :
• Ensure unit is running properly.
• Some air may be trapped in the hydraulic system; slowly activate hydrau-
lic control valves to ensure all air is out of the system.
• Check hammer raise speed. An ideal hammer-raise time is around three
seconds. If the hammer lifts too quickly or too slowly, adjust the hydraulic
supply from the tractor, or the PTO speed. If the hammer raises with
excessive speed, lower the hydraulic volume/pressure to meet the S2000
hydraulic specifications. If the hammer raises too slowly, increase system
volume/pressure, but do not exceed the system limit of 1500 PSI.
