HYDRAULIC PUMP FILTRATION AND
INSTALLATION
Please follow coupling manufacturer’s recommended
installation instructions
For maximum pump and system component life, the
system should be protected from contamination at a
level not to exceed 214 particles greater than 10
microns per milliliter of fluid.
Pump and motor shaft alignment must be within
0.007 inches total indicator reading using a standard
float coupling. Please follow coupling manufacturer’s
recommended installation instructions to prevent
end thrust on pump shaft. Turn pump by hand to
assure freedom of rotation. Pump and motor must be
on a rigid base. The coupling should be sized to
absorb the peak horsepower developed.
AXLE
The heavy-duty utility axle has a 25,000 lb. capacity
with an oil-lubricated bearing, auto slack adjusters.
and electro-hydraulic air braking. The backing plate
of the hydraulic brake mounts onto the piloted axle
brake flange.
LUBRICATION
1. Check oil level. If below 0.25”, add oil.
2. Inspect for grease or oil contamination. Change if
required, using the approved greases listed in
Table 5-1.
Do NOT use gasoline to clean parts. Gasoline can
explode or burn, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
3. Check for grease or oil on the brake disc, drum, or
linings. If necessary, clean the disc or the drum
and replace contaminated linings.
The presence of grease or oil on the brake disc,
drum, or linings can cause poor brake
performance, leading to serious injury or death
and equipment damage.
