Periodic maintenance
Daily inspections and periodic maintenance will help
you get the maximum life, safety, and efficiency from
your FLOW equipment. Periodic maintenance is regu-
larly scheduled preventive maintenance and includes
replacing worn parts that have reached the end of their
service life. It will help minimize unscheduled down
time, maximize equipment use, and eliminate unsafe
operating conditions.
Flow recommends that you use a maintenance and ser-
vice log to record all service work. Maintenance Log
MS-2258 is provided on the CD.
Note:
Review all maintenance precautions and safety
instructions listed in the intensifier pump manual.
Maintenance tips

Assign a complete set of service tools to the
workstation.
Maintenance precautions

bricants recommended by Flow.
