Assemble Power Cube
- Weld frame using jig.
- Weld hydraulic tank onto frame, with suction strainer assembly in place. Orientation faces the operator when looking backwards at the Power Cube.
- Weld fuel tank to frame. Orientation is away from operator (safety) on the rear left corner of frame.
- Mount Engine and Pump:
- Trim engine shaft to 2"
- Put hydraulic fittings on hydraulic pump, and connect lovejoy coupler to pump
- [1] Cut plate for Engine Mount - 1/4"x8"x20"?
- [1] Cut plate for hydraulic pump - 1/4"x8"x?
- [1] Cut 1/4"x8"x3"? connecting plate
- [1] Cut 1/4"x2" angle for Power Cube Mount
- Torch engine mount plate pattern- best is plasma cutter
- Torch hydraulic pump mount plate pattern
- Measure distance from bottom of pump to bottom plane of engine
- Use this measurement to determine height of engine mount plate in frame
- Tack weld angle to frame
- Tack weld engine mount plate to hydraulic tank and angle
- Place engine in position
- Attach lovejoy coupler to engine
- Verify that height of engine makes pump stick out 1" above bottom plane of the Power Cube
- Tack weld hydraulic pump plate, and connecting vertical plate
- Take off engine and finish weld the mounting plates
- Attach return line filter assembly
- Attach battery box and holding strap mechanism
- Wire up switch, charging, and battery cables.
- Attach suction hose to pump
- Attach fuel hose from fuel tank barb to inlet of engine
- Attach throttle cable
- Attach filler/breather cap
- Fill engine with engine oil
- Fill fuel tank, verify that there are no leaks
Start engine.
