Fill the fuel reservoir to a level justbelow the bottom of the filter tube.Always use clean gasoline asrecommended in the engine manual. Donot overfill fluids, clean up oil and fuelspills immediately.

2.4 Testing

All power units are tested at the factoryand their flows and pressures arerecorded on the test report, which isshipped with the power unit. Testing ofthe power unit is not required unless it isdamaged during shipping.

Always perform “before startupprocedures” found in section 3.3 beforetesting. PortaCo Hydraulic Tester, PartNumber T-00016-XX-0 is recommendedfor all tests.

a. Set the hydraulic circuit to “OFF.”b. Connect hydraulic hoses to the

power unit. Connect the PortaCoHydraulic Tester to the opposite end

of the hoses. Make sure flowdirection is correct.

c. Start the engine and allow thehydraulic fluid to warm to about100° F/38 C°.

d. Open the tester restrictor valve (fullyopen.) This represents minimumload.

e. Set the flow control to “ON” and setengine throttle for maximum speed.

f. Check the flow rate and pressure onthe tester gauges. The back pressurereading should be under 17.3 bar(250 PSI). The flow readings shouldmatch those listed in section 1.1General Information of this manual.

g. With engine throttle set at maximumspeed slowly close the restrictorvalve on the tester while observingthe flow pressure gauges.

h. As the hydraulic system relief valvebegins to crack (open) and bypassfluid through the valve, the flow ratewill begin to drop. At this time, thepressure in the system should bebetween 145-155 BAR (2100-2250PSI).

i. If the pressure is not as specified, thehydraulic circuit relief valve must beadjusted or replaced. (See section4.2 for procedure.)

- If the flow rate drops below thespecified range, the pump orcontrol valve may be worn.

- If the flow remains constant, butpressure does not increase, therelief valve may be defective.

2.5 Adjustments

The engine RPM’s and the hydraulicsystem flow and pressure relief are set atthe factory and must not be readjusted.

7

DO NOT change governor setting ortamper with governor components,which may increase the governed enginespeed.

WARNING: OPERATING THEPOWER UNIT AT EXCESSIVESPEEDS INCREASE THE DANGEROF PERSONAL INJURY.

2.6 Hose Requirements

The Pioneer series are easily movedclose to the job site. It is not oftennecessary or advisable to use long hoses.All hoses must have an oil resistant innersurface and an abrasion resistant outersurface. Each hose must have male pipeends for most application. Longer hosescan be used when necessary, but canaffect the operation of the tool due toresistance in the hose.

If small diameter or long hoses are used,or if restrictive fittings are connected tothe supply and return ports, the pressurerequired, to push the fluid through thesystem and back to the tank will behigher. This will reduce tool power.

The pressure and return hose areconnected to the control block. A½-inch male pipe hose end can beconnected, to H.T.M.A. flat-nosedquick-disconnect couplings (availablethrough PortaCo, Inc).

The left port of the control block is thepressure (oil out) fitting. A maleH.T.M.A. quick-disconnect coupling(without lock ring) must be connected tothis port.

Two hoses are required to complete thecircuit, each hose should have a malecoupler on one end and a female coupleron the opposite. See diagram on page 8for hose routing.

*Important – Oil should always flowfrom the male coupler through thefemale coupler.

The right port is the return port. Afemale H.T.M.A. quick-disconnectcoupling should be connected to thisport.

NOTE: The pressure increase inuncoupled hoses left in the sun maymake them difficult to connect. Whenpossible after use, connect the free endsof the operating hoses together.

HOSE TYPES

Hydraulic hose types authorized for useby PortaCo, Inc. are as follows:

1. Labeled and certified non-conductive2. Wire braided (conductive)3. Fabric braided (not certified or labeled non-

conductive)

Hose 1: Listed above is the only hose authorizedfor use near electrical conductors.

Hoses 2 and 3: Listed above are conductive andmust never be used near electrical conductors.

HOSE PRESSURE RATING

The rated working pressure of thehydraulic hose must be at least 175 bar(2500 PSI.)

3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Description of Power Unit

The PortaCo Pioneer seriesHydraulic Power Unit has been designedfor the purpose of supplying hydraulicfluid under pressure to power hydraulichand tools. The standard engine is aHonda 9 hp, 11 hp, or 13 hp. dependingon the model of power unit purchased.See section 1.2 features of this manualfor specifications. See the technicalmanuals supplied by the enginemanufacture included with this powerunit for detailed technical specifications.

PortaCo Hydraulic Power Units havebeen designed for use indoors andoutdoors. PortaCo power units shouldnot be operated under wet conditions, orat ambient operating temperatures,outside the recommended temperaturerange of -28° C to 43° C. (-20° F to110° F).

CAUTION: DO NOT USE CLOSED-CENTER TOOLS WITH THISPOWER UNIT.

During operation, the engine may bog,run at lower rpm, when under load. Asthe tool being used is loaded, meets withincrease resistance, the pressure requiredto operate the tool increases. Theincreased pressure adds load to the pumpwhich loads the engine, there byreducing the RPMS. As a result, theflow will drop as pressure increases.The hydraulic system has a pressurelimiter set at 148 BAR (2150 PSI) whichdiverts the flow back to the tank until thepressure drops below 148 BAR (2150PSI.)

Tools with higher flow and, or pressurerequirements will not operate at their fullpotential if used with the PortaCoHydraulic Power Unit. Tools with lowerflow and or pressure requirements maybe damaged if used with this power unit.

The engine throttle and the hydraulicsystem relief value are preset at thefactory and must not be altered for anyreason without consulting PortaCo Inc.Any alterations approved by PortaCoInc., can only be preformed by personnelqualified to maintain hydraulic systems.

4.3 HYDRAULIC FLUID ANDENGINE MAINTENANCE

WARNING: SHUT OFF ENGINEBEFORE DOING ANYMAINTENANCE. TO PREVENTACCIDENTAL START-UP, TURNTHE IGNITION SWITCH OFF ANDDISCONNECT THE NEGATIVECABLE FROM THE BATTERYTERMINAL.

Engine Lubrication ServicingCheck the engine oil level and changeoil and filter as required in themaintenance table section 4.1 of thismanual.

The oil level should be between the“full” and “add” marks of the dipstick.Also illustrated in the engine manual.To add oil to the engine, remove thefiller cap. Engine oil capacity is 1.8liters (1.9 quarts) when changing oilfilter.

The following oils are recommended bythe engine manufacturer:

Temperature Range Oil5° C (40° F) and above SAE 30¯18° C- (0° F) - 5° C (40° F) 5W-30

10W-305° C (40° F) and below Synthetic 5W-20

5W-30

When draining oil place a suitablecontainer under the drain plug andremove plug. Drain engine completelyand replace plug.

Engine Fuel Servicing

Replace the fuel filter every 100 hrs. oryearly. Remove the filter cartridge and

replace it. Slightly lubricate the filterseal before installation.

NOTE: See engine manual foradditional service requirements.

NOTE: Dispose of all consumable items(filters, oils….etc.) in a manner that iscompatible with the environment.PortaCo, Inc. suggests you take suchitems in a sealed container to your localservice station for reclamation. DONOT throw these items in the trash orpour them on the ground.

Hydraulic Fluid Servicing

Removing CondensationOnce a week (Less often in hot dryweather) take a small sample from thebottom of the hydraulic tank byremoving the ½” N.P.T. drain plug. Ifclear water appears, drain the tank untilclean oil starts to show. Always draintank into a suitable container. If fluid ismilky, allow unit to settle for 48 hoursbefore draining.

NOTE: Water in the fluid reduceslubrication and causes premature wear.1% water in a 140 BAR (2000 PSI)system can cause a 25% increases inwear rate.

Replace Filter and Fluid

CAUTION: ALWAYS FOLLOWANY HANDLING PRECAUTIONSPUBLISHED BY THEMANUFACTURES OF THELUBRICANTS OR HYDRAULICFLUIDS USED.

- Remove the drain plug on theunderside of the hydraulic tank anddrain oil into a suitable container.Let reservoir completely drain andreinstall the plug.

- Place the drain pan under thehydraulic oil filter and remove filter.(Fig. 4.3C)

- Apply a film of clean oil to thegasket surface of a new hydraulic oilfilter. PortaCo Inc. number 1083-OOP (LHA# SPE-15-10).

- Install new filter element and tightenone-half turn after initial gasketcontact.

- Fill hydraulic oil reservoir with afluid recommended in section 3.2 ofthis manual. Fill tank until oil level isjust below filler tube. Reservoircapacity is 18.9 liters (5.0 gal.)

- Dispose of oil and filters in aresponsible manor, see previousnote.

CAUTION: ALWAYS FOLLOWANY HANDLING PRECAUTIONSPUBLISHED BY THEMANUFACTURES OF THELUBRICANTS OR HYDRAULICFLUIDS USED.

(Fig. 4.3C)

- Start engine and allow to run at idlefor 3 minutes

- Shut engine off, check oil level andadd fluid if required. Do not overfillor fluid may be forced out ofhydraulic fill cap when operatingunit. To maximize life of thePortaCo Inc. Hydraulic Power Unitall maintenance must be preformedin accordance with the manual andthe engine manual provided.

CAUTION: ALWAYS CLEAN UPANY FLUID SPILLSIMMEDIATELY.
