CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a new HydraFlow. Please examine the unit for shipping
damage, and if any damage is found,report it immediately to the carrier. If unit is to be installed at a
later date make sure it is stored in a clean, dry location.
Warning: Serious injury can result from operating or repairing the unit without
reading the service manual and taking adequate safety precautions.

Safety Precautions
For equipment covered specifically or indirectly in this instruction book, it is important that all personnel observe safety
precautions to minimize the chances of injury. Among many considerations, the following should be particularly noted:
•Rotating shafts can be dangerous. You can snag clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can cause serious injury or death.
•Do not work under the vehicle when the engine is running.
•Do not work on the hydraulic system with the engine running or power take-off engaged.
•Do not engage or disengage driven equipment by hand from under the vehicle when the engine is running.
•PTO and driveshaft should have either a safety loop or guard installed.
•Install a support strap when servicing a drive shaft to prevent personal injury.
•Always use hose rated for hydraulic duty and at the correct pressure.
•A serious or fatal injury can occur…
-if you fail to follow warning instructions.
-if you lack proper training.
-if you fail to follow proper installation and operating procedures.
-if you do not use proper tools and safety equipment.
-if you assemble hydraulic system components improperly.
-if you use incompatible driveline components.
-if you use worn out or damaged driveline components.
-if you use driveline components in a non-approved application.
•This manual contains safety instructions. Read, understand, and follow this manual.
-Get proper training.
-Learn and follow safe operating procedures.
-Use proper tools and safety equipment.
-Use proper components in good condition.
-Ensure connections exposed to the weather are sealing properly.

CAUTION: It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the HydraFLOW is mounted in a location
providing proper clearance from any heat source(s).
Paragon recommends 12” from any exhaust opening, 6” from any other heat source(s).
Installation
Power Take-Off and Hydraulic Pump
A. Mount the PTO as recommended by PTO manufacturer.
B. If the system contains a direct mounted hydraulic pump, ensure the hydraulic pump is mounted to the PTO as
recommended by PTO, hydraulic pump, and transmission manufacturers.
C. Ensure ALL safety labels are installed per manufacturer guidelines.
Note: The standard filter supplied in the HydraFLOW is a 10 micron nominal. Contact Paragon Tank Truck Equipment for other filtration
media options.
Please refer to your hydraulic pump installation manual for correct filtration and suction specifications.
Contact the engine manufacturer for the proper engine speed range that will reduce torsional vibration to a minimum and prevent
premature hydraulic pump and PTO wear.
Mounting the HydraFLOW
•Drill 21/32” diameter holes in the appropriate location for mounting the unit as shown in
Fig. 4.
•Use the fasteners in the hardware packet supplied by Paragon to mount the
HydraFLOW.

Hydraulic Hoses & Fittings
•DO NOT use thread tape or pipe dope on threaded connections, this will contaminate the hydraulic system.
•ALL HD model coolers have a 2” female National Pipe Thread connection located on the bottom of the cooler.
•ALL hydraulic hoses must be supported and not allowed to hang on the cooler connections.
•Use of Loctite 542 or equivalent is recommended for any National Pipe Thread (NPT) hydraulic connections.
•Hoses are customer supplied, fit according to the system drawings.
•High pressure hoses must have a pressure rating equal to or higher than the hydraulic system relief valve setting.
•The suction hose must be capable of operating in 28” Hg vacuum service.

Alternate Frame Rail Mount (Fig. 3)
Note:
•Review Hose Chart (Fig. 1) to ensure the correct suction hose sizing.
•For off road applications do not mount HydraFLOW directly to the frame rail. Behind the cab
mount is recommended.
•See system circuit drawing for complete hydraulic plumbing.
Preferred behind the cab mount (optimum suction conditions, Fig. 2)

1. Remove the filler cap, filter and filter bowl.
2. Fill the HydraFLOW 1/2 full with hydraulic lubricant.
NOTE: Paragon recommends an (ISO) 32 non-foaming hydraulic oil. (Example: Mobil SHC 630 Hydraulic Oil)
Use a paint filter as a strainer while filling to prevent foreign contaminants from entering the system.
3. Replace the fill cap.
4. Check all hoses and connections for no leaks.
5. Start the engine and engage the PTO and pump according to !
manufacturer recommendations.
6. Run for 3-5 seconds to eliminate air from the system.
7. Disengage the PTO and stop the engine.
8. Remove the fill cap and fill to the bottom of the sight glass (no oil should be in the top sight glass).
9. Replace the filter bowl, filter and fill cap.
10. Start the engine and slowly release the clutch.
11. While the engine is running, engage the PTO and pump according to manufacturer recommendations.
12. Check for leaks, disengage the PTO according to manufacturer recommendations and stop the engine.
13. Re-check the oil level.
Initial Start Up (Two People Required)
Maintenance
Daily
Check oil level before operating (the system must be off).
Correct oil level is the bottom sight glass completely full and the top sight glass completely empty
when the unit is not operating.
Weekly
Visually inspect the system each week. Check hoses, fittings, and mounting.
Every 3 Months
Change filter every 3 months.
Every 6 Months
Change oil and filter every 6 months.
Grease PTO / Pump spline every 6 months.
Note: If the unit has a high duty cycle, an oil analysis program is recommended.
1. Check oil level in the HydraFLOW.
Correct oil level is the bottom sight glass completely full and the top sight glass completely empty when the unit is not operating.
2. Check fan and radiator for air flow. Clean or clear any obstructions as needed.
3. Ensure the parking brake is applied, control valves are in the neutral position.
4. Engage the PTO according to manufacturer recommendations.
NOTE: Oil level will drop in the sight glass when the system is in operation.
5. Operate valves slowly.
6. To shut down the system, put the valve in neutral (if available), disengage the PTO per manufacturer
recommendations.
