Backhoe Hydraulic pump question.

[Caco4x4]

Hi folks, I´m assembling the backhoe attachment on a Jinma 404.

Bought Tractor and accessories directly from the factory but it has no manuals.

1. Should the pump turn by hand, (because mine doesn´t) or only the PTO can turn it.

2. Is there and up or down for hanging the pump? It seems to have a breather on what I figure is up.

Thank for any help.

The pump, being mounted to a PTO multiplier, will be hard to turn by hand.

In this current configuration of the breather on the PTO multiplier, you want the pump on top. If you need the pump on the bottom for whatever reason, you'll need to change the breather position on the PTO multiplier.

Make sure you get the Inlet and Pressure out hoses correctly.

Also you will need a bar or chain to keep the pump assembly from spinning with the PTO. The hoses and fittings are not designed for those forces.

One hose comes from the hydraulic tank and enters the pump (inlet). The other comes out of the pump and goes to the control valve (outlet).

In the back of the pump, there are arrows indicating inlet and outlet.

The multiplier has an oil level sight glass indicator. The pump must be mounted on top. Reaction chains are a must.

Usually the suction side hose (from tank to pump) has a larger ID than the pressure side hose that goes from the pump to the valve bank.

Also don't forget to fill the pump with gear oil.

Note arrows on pump.

Pump uses hydraulic oil. Multiplier might use 80W-90 gear oil.
