Hydraulic Pressure
Minimum 22.7 L/min (6 U.S. gpm)
138 bar (2,000 psi)
Maximum 37.9 L/min (10 U.S. gpm)
193 bar (2,800 psi)
Hoses and Lines
Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail because of physical
damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check the hoses and
lines regularly and replace them if necessary.
Fluid connections can loosen because of physical damage
and vibration. Check and tighten the connections regularly.
Fluid that escapes under high pressure can cause serious
injury. Disconnect the hydraulic or other lines to relieve
the pressure. Tighten the connections before applying
pressure.
WARNING: Protect your hands and body
from high-pressure fluids. Search for
hydraulic leaks with a piece of cardboard.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid
that penetrates the skin must be removed by a doctor
within a few hours.
Engine Safety
Gasoline is highly flammable - handle it carefully. Use an
approved non-metal, portable fuel container. Static
discharge may ignite gasoline vapours in an ungrounded
fuel container.
Do not remove the fuel cap when the engine is hot or
running.
Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fill to 25 mm (1 in) below
the top of the tank.
Stop the engine before doing maintenance work.
CAUTION: Do not touch the engine,
exhaust, or hydraulic reservoir while the
engine is running or soon after. Hot
surfaces may cause burns.
Tow Vehicle Safety
WARNING: Always use a suitable tow
vehicle to move the ProPass, even for
short distances. An unsuitable tow vehicle
can damage the ProPass, or cause injury
or death.
A suitable tow vehicle must have a minimum towing
capacity of 1,405 kg (3,400 lb).
On tow-behind chassis the maximum carrying load for the
ProPass is 907 kg (2,000 lb), with a resulting tongue
weight of 113 kg (250 lb). The tare weight (no load) is
499 kg (1,100 lb), with a resulting tongue weight of 23 kg
(50 lb).
The resulting tongue weight of the ProPass fitted with the
11HP – Hydraulic Power Pack when operating with a full
load is 145 kg (320 lb). The resulting no load tongue
weight is 48 kg (105 lb). The tare weight (no load) is
599 kg (1,320 lb).
On Truckster direct connect chassis the maximum carrying
load for the ProPass is 907 kg (2,000 lb), with a resulting
weight transfer of 272 kg (600lbs) to the tow vehicle. The
tare weight (no load) is 544 kg (1,200 lb), with a resulting
weight transfer of 52 kg (115 lb) to the tow vehicle.
Loading
WARNING: Ensure that the ProPass is
connected to the tow vehicle before
loading.
Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits of the
ProPass, or the tow vehicle (see Specifications).
The stability of loads can vary - for example, high loads
will have a higher center of gravity. Reduce the maximum
load limits to ensure better stability, if necessary.
To avoid causing the ProPass to tip over (see safety decals
in this manual):
• Carefully monitor the height and weight of the load.
Higher and heavier loads can increase the risk of
tipping.
• Distribute the load evenly, front to back and side to
side.
