Instructions on Operating a Hydraulic Motor

A hydraulic motor must be operated only with a Series 300 or Series 350 selective control valve.

Never operate implements at constant maximum system pressure (20000 kPa, 200 bar, 2900 psi), as this may cause the hydraulic system to overheat.

The rate of lift value selected on the CommandCenter (BCU 165, factory setting 255) should be reduced in stages until the drop in speed at the hydraulic motor is zero or close to zero, but an acceptable lever of power is still being provided. When the hydraulic motor is no longer in use, change the value back to its maximum.

It is also possible to reduce the rates of flow at the SCVs. When the hydraulic motor is no longer in use, change the rate of flow back to its maximum. If necessary, engine speed can be increased to give a higher rate of flow.
