Description
BS-04 Hydraulic Engine Control Reservoir - Replaces R-04
The BS04 hydraulic engine control reservoir replaces the Hynautic R04 control reservoir in hydraulic engine control systems.
This new replacement reservoir maintains extra hydraulic fluid and a constant pressure head for the control system. It is used in Hynautic engine control applications where fluid flow to and from the reservoir is regulated below the tank by the charging valve, helping the system stay pressurized as temperatures and fluid volume change.
Technical Specifications
The BS-04 follows the function of the original R-04 reservoir by maintaining extra hydraulic fluid and a constant pressure head for the engine control system. In service, fluid flow to and from the reservoir is regulated below the reservoir by the charging valve, helping prevent pressure instability as the fluid warms and cools.

Applications and Installation Notes
The BS-04 is intended for Hynautic hydraulic engine control systems where the original reservoir was an R-04. These systems are used to relay synchronized shift and throttle commands through hydraulic senders and slave units on a wide range of marine vessels, including pleasure craft, workboats, and commercial fishing boats.
When servicing the system, use HA5455 fluid only and follow standard Hynautic filling and bleeding procedures. The reservoir should normally be maintained about one-half to two-thirds full, and reservoir pressure is generally verified in the 80 to 85 PSI range during service. If the existing charging valve or other engine control components are worn, inspect those items at the same time rather than treating the reservoir as the only likely failure point.
