General Information and Setup
NOTE: Install washers so one washer is against head of
bolt, and other washer is against locknut.
1. Position engine with pump assembly onto engine
mount. Insert a vibration isolator between engine
and mount at four mounting hole locations.
2. Secure engine with four bolts, eight flat washers,
and four locknuts. Tighten hardware securely.
Installing the Beam Assembly
1. See Figure 2-13. Have an assistant help to stand
the beam upright on a flat level surface. Have the
assistant support the beam until beam is secured
to unit.
Figure 2-13. Beam Assembly
2. Remove pin and hitch clip (A) from beam support
bracket (B). Position reservoir assembly (C) with
beam support bracket in between the tabs (D) on
the beam assembly.
3. Slide pin through aligned tab holes and secure with
hitch clip. The tow bar may need to be lifted for the
holes to align. Use a team lift to accomplish this.
NOTE: Leave the beam assembly in the upright position
for the next procedures.
Installing the Hydraulic Hoses
NOTE: Each of the three hydraulic hoses is shipped with
one end fixed on the fitting. The hoses are labeled for
ease of installation.
1. See Figure 2-14. Oil suction hose (A), labeled 1,
comes from bottom of oil reservoir (C). Loosen
hose clamp (B) on open end of hose and connect
hose to fitting on bottom of pump. Tighten hose
clamp.
