OPERATION
ing 10 gpm/38 lpm up to 2000 psi/140 bar.
The MHP3 TracHorse contains a hydraulic pump with two sections. Each pump section will provide 5 gpm/19 lpm at the maximum, governed engine throttle. The out- put (5 gpm/19 lpm) of each pump section is directed to the panel control valve assembly. It is the position of the hydraulic circuit combiner knob on the panel control valve assembly which keeps the output of each pump section separated or combined.
When the hydraulic circuit combiner knob is pulled out, the two circuits are combined into one 10 gpm/38 lpm circuit. One hydraulic tool may be connected to one cir- cuit. The other circuit must not have a tool connected to it or have the hoses connected. The circuit is activated by pushing both control levers up.
When the hydraulic circuit combiner knob is pushed in, the two circuits are not combined and each circuit pro- vides 5 gpm/19 lpm. One hydraulic tool may be connect- ed to each circuit. Each circuit is activated by pushing the circuit lever up.
Oil flow is regulated by pulling the throttle control to the full throttle position. This setting will produce 10 gpm/38 lpm up to 2000 psi/140 bar.

ADJUSTING THROTTLE FOR
VARIOUS TYPES OF WORK
WARNING
When first learning to operate the Track Horse, position the throttle to the “SLOW” position. More experienced operators may use higher throttle settings.
FORWARD TRAVEL
•The throttle can be positioned anywhere between slow and fast for traveling forward depending on the weight of the load being carried. Heavy loads will require higher throttle settings and low range in or- der for the engine to provide enough power to move the load.
•A switch mounted on the control provides
(FAST & SLOW) operation.
REVERSE TRAVEL
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to travel in reverse with the throttle positioned above “SLOW”. This may result in loss of control and result in injury or death to the operator.
•Always position the throttle to a slow position for re- verse travel to permit increased control and safety.
