6. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro General Knowledge Quiz What is the maximum operating pressure of your Holmatro system? 10,500 psi What type of fluid is used? Mineral based oil

7. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro General Knowledge Quiz True or False: two tools can be powered at the SAME time by your pump. True. The tools operate simultaneously, completely independent of each other, sharing only the oil in the reservoir. True or False?: When running, the pump is always moving fluid. True. When the motor is spinning, the pump is pumping. The oil will be circulating to the tool and back. With no tool attached to the pump the oil circulates back to the tank.

8. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro General Knowledge Quiz How do you relieve the pressure in a hot hose? Use the pressure relief device which is hanging from the pump.

9. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro What is Hydraulics? A means of transmitting power by pushing on a confined liquid.

10. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Pascal’s Principal: P x A=F Pressure times Area Equals Force Pascal’s Law: Pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions, and acts with equal force on equal areas, and at right angles to them

11. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro This works because: Mineral Oil Does Not Compress The System is Filled –Hoses and tools are filled with oil –There is no air in the system The System is Sealed The Pressure is the same in all areas which are pressurized

12. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Deadman’s Handle Operation Same on all tools Automatically returns to neutral when released Clockwise (CW) always opens Counter-clockwise (CCW) always closes

13. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Deadman’s Handle Operation When at rest the handle is in the neutral position. This sends the oil in a U-turn back to the pump. No motion of tool. Rotating the handle either CW or CCW directs oil to either the bottom or the top of the piston, causing the tool to open or close.

14. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Couplers - Care Keep Couplers Clean!! NO DIRT Keep Dust Caps On Clean With WD40 or Silicone

15. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Mineral Oil Hydraulic Fluid Non-toxic Non-caustic SAFE! Use approved equivalents only Change at LEAST once per year to remove contaminants

17. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro SR20PC2 Spider 3-stage Pump Check Fluid Levels Operating Controls

18. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Pumps –Operation SR20 Spider What is a 3-stage pump? Stage 1 For opening and closing with no resistance 0 - 1500psi (tool runs fast) Stage 2 (new) For average cuts and pushes some of the speed of 1 st stage and some of the power of 3 rd stage 1,500 – 5,000psi Stage 3 For harder cuts and pushes slower tool but lots of power 5,000 – 10,500psi

19. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Pumps - Operations SR20 Duo Check level of mineral oil -should be between marks (on side of tank) Use only approved fluid

20. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Pumps – Operations SR20 Honda Duo Starting the pump –Choke On/Off

21. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Operation Controls – SR20 Spider No dump valves on Pump! Change tools Without having to dump pressure.

22. Number One In The World For a Reason ® ® Holmatro Pumps - Operation SR20 Honda Duo Fuel Cap Carbon filled cap, if pump is tipped over carbon in cap will absorb fuel and may harden and not allow air into tank. This can cause a vapor lock. Cap may need to be replaced.
