Check oil level in reservoir. Check records for last oil
and filter service. Test oil quality. Review the
manufacturer's maintenance schedule. It may specify
operating conditions that require special attention to
maintenance and adjusted service intervals.
Maintain clean oil in the carrier. Follow the
recommendations from the carrier manufacturer for
approved hydraulic oils and hydraulic system
maintenance.
IMPORTANT
Contamination will diminish service life of
components. Use care while performing service to
hydraulic systems. Safeguard against contaminating
the oil. Before connections are opened, ensure fluids
are collected in a suitable container. Clean up any
spilled oil. Obey all local regulations for the disposal
of these fluids.
9.5 Bearing Lubrication System
Bearings are lubricated for life and sealed. No regular
re-lubrication is necessary nor possible.
9.7.2 How To Check Condition of Bearings
Due to the rotational speeds and high loads, bearing
failure is usually sudden. A rattling or scraping sound
is a tell-tale sign of imminent failure. Visual inspection
of bearing requires removal of the bearing housing.
