the Spinmaster Relief, See Hydraulic Adjustments
pg.12.
Hydraulic fluid will heat up and cause severe damage
to the hydraulic power unit and the Spinmaster if a
closed center plug is used with an open center
hydraulic power unit. Make sure that the
Spinmaster main valve is configured with a open
centered plug (the Spinmaster comes standard with
the open center plug unless otherwise specified) for
running a constant volume hydraulic power unit.
See Hydraulic Adjustments pg.12.
Check to see if the Spinmaster grip cylinder piston
seals are leaking. The cylinders will be hotter than
the hydraulic motor if they are leaking internally
and the Spinmaster would slow down. To repair
the grip cylinders, See Drawings pg.56,58.
The Spinmaster motor could be leaking internally
causing the Spinmaster to slow down and the
motor would also run hotter than normal. To repair
the motor see Drawings pg.62.
Check that the pressure and tank hydraulic line quick
disconnects are properly and securely connected.
See Power Hook-Up pg. 11.
Make sure the power unit is providing the proper
flow. See Power Hook-Up pg. 11.
If there is a pressure filter on the hydraulic power
unit, the filter element may be clogged. Change
the filter element.
