[QUOTE="mrfixitpaul, post: 43902, member: 2582"] The middle, smaller coupler is a case drain/return to tank, but probably not designed to handle the flow from the pounder setup. The other 2 larger couplers are both standard and high flow( if you have the option). The flow to these couplers is reversible( by using the thumb switch on the right control lever), but 'normal' flow (pulling the trigger) is pressure on bottom coupler and return on the top coupler, I believe. If the valve on the pounder relieves at 1500psi, anything above that will work, it will just allow the excess pressure to 'dump' to the return line. The machine pressure at idle should be the same as, or at least close to the maximum pressure, which should be around 3000 psi. This is adjustable, by changing the setting on the relief valve, located in the control valve. The flow will vary based on the RPM. You might want to find out what the pounder requires for flow, and try to figure the machine flow (by changing rpm) to limit the amount of excess oil flowing through the pounder, to reduce the heat buildup. If it was me, I wouldn't mess with the pressure setting unless absolutely necessary. [/QUOTE]
