GENERAL HYDRAULICS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Escaping fluids under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious per-
sonal injury. Observe the following precautions to avoid hydraulic hazards:
1. Insure all hydraulic connections are securely tightened before operating the
machine.
2. Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Caution: Do not use your
hands! Oil may be hot
3. Do not exceed working pressure of hydraulic hoses.
4. Visually inspect hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
16. Machine may cause additional fire hazard if involved in an existing fire due
to hydraulic oils.
17. The machine must be operated on firm ground.
18. Only use the machine for its intended purpose.
19. Do not tamper with pressure relief valves or pressure reducing valves.
20. To prevent damage to the hydraulic hoses and the emergency stop cable
never leave them on the ground when not in use.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Power Pack sits on a tubular steel frame with 2 wheels for easy
transportation.
The gas driven air-cooled engine drives a fixed displacement gear pump fitted
with an integral pressure relief valve. The hydraulic circuit has an oil tank fitted
with a suction filter and a replaceable return line filter to protect the pump and
motor. The tank is also fitted with a filler/breather and sight level gauge.
The hydraulic power pack is connected to the remote equipment via detachable
dual hoses fitted with male/female quick release couplers.

4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
It is imperative that all persons using, operating or maintaining this power pack
be fully trained and competent to do so, and have read the entire operating
manual.
General Machine Products Co., Inc. and CBS Products Ltd cannot be held re-
sponsible for misuse of this equipment.
The power pack is designed to work with an open center control valve. There-
fore it is imperative that the hoses are connected to a system having the facility
prior to starting the engine.
Connecting Hoses
The hydraulic power pack must be connected by the two detachable hoses to
the driven machine by plugging in the male/female quick release couplings be-
fore starting the engine.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to start the engine on the Power Pack until the hoses
between the Power Pack and the remote equipment have been connected.
Do not disconnect the hydraulic 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).
Hydraulic Oil Level
Check hydraulic oil level and top off with the appropriate grade of hydraulic oil
(refer to 3.0 specification for details) or equivalent if necessary, each time the
power pack is used.
Starting the Engine
Refer to the engine manufacturer manual before starting the engine.
NOTE:The engine manufacturer recommends the addition of a gas stabilizer to
unleaded gas if the unit is to be stored for an extended period. This prevents
the build up of gum and varnish in the gas, keeps the carburetor and gas system
clean and improves engine performance.

5. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
To insure reliable service from your power pack, we recommend the unit be
completely serviced every 6 months.
Hydraulic Circuit
The circuit should be drained off and replaced with the appropriate grade of hy-
draulic oil (refer to 3.0 specification for details) or
equivalent until it is almost to the top of the sight glass
when the power pack is on level ground. The circuit is
fitted with two filters, only one of these requires replac-
ing. Replace the Return Line Filter when the filter gauge
is in the red (indicating higher return pressure - i.e.,
clogged filter). The gauge is found on the side of the fil-
ter housing.
Gas Engine
Refer to manufacturer’s manual.
1. Unscrew the return
line filter top cap with a
24mm box wrench or
socket and remove.
2. Remove old filter
and replace with the
new one.
3. Replace the top cap
making sure not to cross
the thread. Check for
leaks after tightening.
