Filtration Requirements:
• Afilterof,atleast,25micronfiltrationisrequired.Afiltercapableof10micron
filtration is preferred. The majority of paper type filters are 25 microns or better.
• Alowpressuretypefiltercanbeinstalledinthereturnlinefromthecontrolvalvesto
the sump. A low pressure type filter can, also, be installed in the sump or pump intake
line, but must be sized large enough to avoid starving the pump.
• Ahighpressuretypefiltercanbeusedbetweenthepumpandthecontrolvalves.
• Ifthesourceofthehydraulicpowerdoesnothaveafilter,itwillbenecessarytoinstall
one at some point in the system so, at least, part of the hydraulic oil is being filtered
whenever the system is operating. After a filter is installed and before attaching the
Auger Bucket, the entire hydraulic system should be drained, filled with new oil, and
operated for 30 minutes or until the system is warm. During this run time, operate all
valves, cylinders, and hydraulic motors on the attachment.
Pressure and Flow Requirements:
• TheAugerBucketisdesignedtooperateat12GPMand2000PSI.
Valve Requirements:
• ThehydraulicsystemusedtopowertheAugerBucketshouldbeequippedwithafour-
way valve large enough to carry full pump outlet without restricting flow and causing
oil heating.
• Thefour-wayvalverequiresareliefvalvewhichwillopenandrelieveextreme
pressures between the Auger Bucket and control valve, even when the control valve is
in a neutral position. This feature can be obtained by connecting two external relief
valves between the main lines running from the control valve to the Auger Bucket in
such a way that high pressure in either line will be relieved to the other line.
Hydraulic Fluid Selection Requirements:
• Premiumgradepetroleumbasedfluidswillprovidethebestperformance.
• Fluidsthatcontainanti-wearagents,rustinhibitors,anti-foamingagents,andoxidation
inhibitors are recommended.
• Theviscosityofthefluidshouldneverfallbelow70SUS(13cST).Thebest
viscosity range of the Auger Bucket is 100-200 SUS (20-43 cST).
NOTE
The life of the hydraulic motor is almost entirely dependent upon cleanliness
of the oil. Instructions in your vehicle operator’s manual regarding filter and
oil changes should be carefully followed. Even small amounts of dirt in the
hydraulic oil can cause premature motor failure that is not covered by warranty.
