Installation Instructions - Basic Hydraulic
Multiplier Kit
BE SURE your hydraulic
pump and implement hydraulics are in good working order.
1.
Mount and
Connect the Multiplier:
a)
Mount the Multiplier using the mounting brackets supplied. Clean off
any dirt & oil from the mounting location before mounting. The Cast Multiplier
has an internal ground and becomes grounded when the Multiplier is mounted.
However, if connections are poor, or if the Multiplier is mounted on an
implement, it may be necessary to run a separate ground wire.
b)
Remove the plastic plugs on the side of the Multiplier and screw in two
ORB fittings with O-rings. (Note: ORB fittings can be connected to either side
of the Multiplier, simply move the installed shut-off plugs to the opposite
side.)
c)
Connect the Multiplier ORB fittings to the tractor hydraulic system
using two hydraulic hoses (not included in Kit) with quick couplers (or thread directly in).
2. Attach the Control
Handle:
a)
Remove the knob from the tractor’s hydraulic control lever. Loosen the
2 set screws on the Multiplier control handle clamp and slide the handle and
clamp over the tractor’s control lever. The switches on the Multiplier control
handle should face away from the operator. Tighten the set screws.
b)
Solder a
16-gauge wire (not included in Kit) to the RED wire on the Multiplier control handle. Solder a ring
connector to the other end of the 16-gauge wire. The wire should be long
enough to reach from the control handle to the tractor battery (12V). Attach
the ring connector to the positive (+) post of the battery.
c)
Plug the connectors of two colored wires from the Multiplier control
handle, usually the black and brown, into the connectors on the Multiplier
coils (one wire per coil). Each colored wire corresponds to a particular
switch on the control handle (see diagram).
3.
Connect
the Implement to the Multiplier:
a)
Connect the implement's hydraulic hoses to the Multiplier just as if
connecting them to the tractor’s outlets. The hoses on the Multiplier may
need to be switched from top to bottom outputs, or left to right inputs, for
the hydraulic cylinders and control lever to work as wanted.
NOTE: If your implement’s hydraulic cylinders are single
acting then connect the single hose to either fitting of the Multiplier valve
and plug the unused fitting.
4.
Operation:
Press one of the
connected switches on the control handle and operate the hydraulic control
lever. The cylinder attached to the corresponding Multiplier valve will
activate. A switch must be pressed for the Multiplier to work. If all switches
are pressed, and the lever activated, oil will flow to all the cylinders at the
same time, taking the path of least resistance.
