6.0 Long live the Logiflex
Regular inspection and the replacement of worn or defective parts in good time will
prolong the life of the Logiflex.
"Prevention is better than repair", therefore ensure:
- Correct usage
- Regular cleaning
- Periodic safety inspection
- Regular adjustment
6.1 Lubrication and hydraulic oil
Under normal operation conditions the Logiflex requires no
lubrication. All ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life,
and moving parts have self-lubricating bearings or are treated
with molybdenum disulphide grease.
The hydraulic system is filled with hydraulic oil of viscosity class
ISO VG 32. An additive is added to the oil:
- Wynn’s Hydraulic Systems Concentrate.
The concentrate reduces friction and wear and protects against
corrosion.
Pre-mixed hydraulic oil with additive is available from the dealer.
The oil is suitable for use in the temperature range -10 to +50° C.
A thinner oil is recommended for temperatures lower than -10° C
(if necessary, contact your dealer).
6.2 Oil change
Draining the oil:
1. Bring the unloaded forks down to the lowest position.
2. Most of the oil can be drained by loosening the hydraulic
hose union and briefly activating the hydraulic pump with the
switch.
3. The remaining oil can be drained from the oil tank by taking
off the twelve clips on the pump and removing the tank.
Oil filling:
4. Fill oil through the filling hole on the tank.
5. Oil quantity:
ELF 1001/1200 & ELFS 1001/1170 approx. 3 litre
ELF 1001/1400 & ELFS 1001/1370 approx. 3 litre
ELF 1001/1600 & ELFS 1001/1570 approx. 3 litre
