Power diagram, hydraulic 3.1
Please use the diagram below to assess whether your vehicle has enough hydraulic power availa-
ble.
1. Add the power specifications of all options present on your machine.
2. Be aware of the information concerning the hydraulics of your vehicle.
As a rule, the hydraulic power of your vehicle that is available for additional
implements, is considerably lower than the engine power.
3. Enter the information in the table below: Example: maximum hydraulic pressure
on the vehicle 150 bar. Oil volumetric flow of 40 l/min. equals a maximum hy-
draulic power of 8.8 kW.
