What Is A Case Drain Line ?
On most skidsteer and excavator Hydraulic systems, Hydraulic motors and pumps require a case drain line. Sometimes referred to as a third line, the case drain line will relieve any excess pressure and drain it back to your return line, then into the reservoir. Without a properly installed case drain, that extra pressure could blow a seal or damage your hydraulic line. For higher flow motors or on piston and gear motors, a case drain line is always required. Although, no matter the size of your motor, a case drain is always a good idea as it will relieve the amount of pressure on your shaft seal, helping to prolong its life. A case drain line can also increase the efficiency of your hydraulic system as it will lower the back pressure on the tank line.
Since most machines have a unique style of coupler, BaumaLight does not include a coupler on our case drain line, although they are available. If your skidsteer is not equipped with a case drain, then it can be field installed.
How Important Is A Case Drain Line ?
If we say having a case drain is critical and you operate without one, you will blow out your shaft seal. Be sure to check the motor sizing charts on our website.
Exception If You Have A Hammer Valve
There is one exception in the need for a case drain on gear motors and that is if you excavator is equipped with a hammer valve, this is a larger free flow line back to tank.
Identifying Your Case Drain Line
The following galleries show a highlighted case drain line on multiple skidsteer and excavator models.
OPTION #1 BEST OPTION – JOY STICK CONTROL WITH 4 LIVE PINS
The ideal solution, the operator can easily control both functions (tilt & boom) of the Boom Mower using your skidsteer’s joy stick buttons. Requires 4 live pins in a14-pin plug and 4 button joy stick controls.
*If you have a newer Bobcat skid steer with a specific Bobcat 7-pin connector, you must add The Bobcat 7-pin CANBUS plug/circuit board kit, or contact your Bobcat dealer for a 7-pin to 14-pin adapter.
OPTION #2 SECOND BEST OPTION – JOY STICK CONTROL WITH 3 LIVE PINS
Another option to still use your built in joy stick controls, but if you only have 3 live pins in a 14-pin plug. The tilt is operated with 2 buttons, your toggle switch on the joy stick will switch to boom control.
OPERATOR MUST HOLD TWO BUTTONS FOR SOME FUNCTIONS.
OPTION #3 – CONTROL BOX WITH 4 LIVE PINS
Another option for contolling the Boom Mower is using our auxiliary control box. This control box uses 12V power, connects into the Boom Mower using 4 live pins in a 14-pin plug and sits on the operator’s lap. This is a 2 button control box that controls both functions (lift & boom) of the Boom Mower using one hand. Requires 4 live auxiliary pins.
*If you have a newer Bobcat skid steer with a specific Bobcat 7-pin connector, you must add The Bobcat 7-pin CANBUS plug/circuit board kit, or contact your Bobcat dealer for a 7-pin to 14-pin adapter.
OPTION #4 – CONTROL BOX WITH 3 LIVE PINS
You can also use our auxiliary control box with 3 live pins. The control box uses 12V power, connects into the Boom Mower using 3 live pins in a 14-pin plug and sits on the operator’s lap. This control box is a single button control so the operator must use both hands to operate. The button controls the tilt function, then the toggle switches control to the boom operation.
