Always follow the operating instructions in this publication. This ensures trouble-free operation and fulfillment of any
rights to claim warranty. Read these instructions before starting any installation or maintenance. These instructions
contain important information about servicing and maintaining your HPTO12HXX. Always keep them in a safe and
clean location.
The following notes appear throughout the publication. Please take a moment to review and understand them.

SAFETY
Proper installation, maintenance and operation procedures must be followed due to the possible danger to person(s) or
property from accidents that may result from the use of machinery. PT Tech will not be responsible for personal injury
resulting from careless maintenance and working practices.
Rotating equipment is potentially dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Care should be taken by
machine manufacturers and operators to ensure adequate safety guards and devices are installed and all applicable
safety codes are adhered to. Do not operate the equipment if these guards and/or devices have been removed or
bypassed.
To prevent accidental starting of the engine or electronic damage when performing maintenance, disconnect battery
cables from battery and remove ignition key from switch. Proper lockout/tagout procedures should always be
closely followed.
PT Tech has made provisions for attaching lifting bolts. The holes provided are of adequate size and quantity to
safely lift the product itself. These lifting points must not be used to lift anything other than the PT Tech product.
Lifting excessive loads at these points could result in property damage or personal injury.
Select lifting eyebolts to obtain maximum thread engagement with bolt shoulder tight against housing. Bolts should
not be long enough to bottom out in lifting hole.
Personal injury can result from fluid under pressure. Care must be taken to ensure fluids are contained during
inspections, maintenance, adjusting or repair of the equipment. All pressurized hydraulic components should be
properly guarded to prevent personal injury.

OIL REQUIREMENTS
Using any fluid other than PT Tech approved oil may significantly affect the performance and function of the unit
and will void warranty.
• The system design specification has an allowable environmental ambient temperature range of -20° F to 120° F
(-29° C to 49° C). If ambient temperatures are below the allowable range, PT Tech recommends the addition of
a reservoir heater.
• High ambient temperatures may require additional cooling
To determine the recommended oil for your application, first select the temperature range below that best defines
the normal ambient air temperature in which the product will be operating.

Below -4° F (-20° C) -4° F to 32° F (-20° C to 0° C) Above 32° F (0° C)

HYDRAULIC MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY

 The manifold assembly is supplied complete with the HPTO12 Clutch. Individual valves and
sensors are available from PT Tech upon request. Please note that as of May 2012, manifolds
have a colored tag which should match the color of the clutch controller.

 NOTE: Avoid routing heat sources such as exhaust and fluid coolers near the hydraulic
manifold. If such layout is unavoidable, a heat shield is recommended to deflect heat from the
manifold. If during operation, the PWM coil temperature measured with a probe exceeds
240°F (116°C), pressure faults may occur and the clutch may not function properly. PT Tech
offers a remote manifold mounting kit for use in extreme temperature conditions to ensure
operation of the PT Tech clutch. Please contact PT Tech for further assistance on this kit.

BELT LOAD GUIDELINES

 Belt load and centerline distance should be within limits specified in the provided side load capacity graph

 Belt driven applications require a support plate that is attached to the clutch to eliminate belt load being
transferred to engine housing.
 Always contact belt supplier to determine proper belt tension
 “TD” & “TS” clutches should never be operated without belt load to prevent bearing damage.

3-12-18 Rev. G 10
 MECHANICAL

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
 Inspect and clean mounting faces and surfaces

 Bolt holes should be clean and free of debris

 Verify flywheel runout tolerance is within engine manufacturer’s specification

 When installing bolts and other fasteners, use permanent thread-locker on the threads and torque to
recommended values

 Do not follow standard industry practice by locking the disc pack together. Also do not plug
manifold drain port and pressurize or else internal damage will occur

 Assembly should be safely supported at all times until it is firmly secured to the machine

 Ensure that all bolt threads are compatible with equipment. PT Tech follows SAE J620 Oct88
standards

Recommended Tools/Materials

 Torque wrench: 80 lb·ft (41 – 108 Nm)  Overhead hoist

 Ratchet  Lint-free towels
 Socket set  Recommended oil (see “Oil Requirements”)
 Inch-size wrenches  Brake cleaner (non-chlorinated)
 ½-13 UNC eyebolts  Permanent thread-locker (Loctite 262)
 Adjustable crescent wrench  Lifting straps (2000 lb/907 kg minimum capacity)

 MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Perform all maintenance using standard safety practices and with engine off.
Regular oil changes and samples are recommended to ensure maximum performance and longevity.
Baseline oil samples are suggested to be performed on new machines. These baseline samples can be beneficial in
determining the condition of components and can also aid in troubleshooting if a unit is not performing correctly.

Frequency What to do?

 Check oil and oil level
 Check hydraulic connections
First 10 hours
 Check all bolted connections
 Baseline oil sample analysis
Daily Check oil level
 Replace system oil
Every 500 hours  Replace oil filter
 Oil sample analysis
To avoid unwanted downtime, it is recommended that the clutch be inspected and/or rebuilt.
5000 hours
Rebuild kits with instructions or complete rebuilt clutches are available.
Any machine, not used for an extended period of time, should be occasionally operated to recoat
the internal components with oil. This will avoid rust, corrosion and associated issues. A summary
of the recommended practices is as follows: Start the engine and allow it to warm-up as normal.
Machine Storage Engage the clutch at idle. Run at this condition for 5-10 minutes. Disengage and stop engine.
This procedure is recommended once a month. If the diesel engine manufacturer recommends a
more frequent procedure, there is no harm in increasing the above clutch procedure frequency to
match their recommendation.
Oil Sample Procedure
Caution: Always follow safety guidelines and wear proper PPE before performing any hydraulic maintenance.

1. A tee with a ball valve is required to be plumbed into the “Tank” line from the manifold. This valve must not block or
restrict oil flow from the manifold to the tank at any time.
2. Start the machine and let it run for 15 minutes or until oil temperature reaches at least 100° F (37.7° C).
3. Wipe the valve’s outlet with a clean lint-free cloth to remove any lose debris. With the engine running and a container
under the sample valve to catch oil, open the valve briefly and allow oil to flush remaining contaminants prior to
sampling.
4. After flushing, place sample container below the valve and fill until 2/3 full.
