Phan 17 #1 Posted February 16 Hello There! After starting, my 312H pump takes several minutes to built up power. Anyone have ideas? Or could it be because it is too cold? Oil levels are good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 70,020 #2 Posted February 16 There are manuals that specifically state that a hydro should be allowed to warm up for "5 to 10 minutes" prior to use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 50,103 #4 Posted February 16 Very typical in cold weather. Especially with Eaton 1100s. What oil are you running? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or could it be because it is too cold? Oil levels are good. I have 4 Eaton 1100s in different model Wheel Horse tractors. Some require 10 minute warm up and some do not. All work fine. Like stated above, Wheel Horse recommends a 10 minute warm up to prevent any damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
