CHECKS, TESTS & ADJUSTMENTS  
 
BEFORE LAUNCHING 

 

IMPORTANT

: Before the launch, verify that the RETRACT unit inspection top plate 

has been replaced (if it was removed during installation) and that all the lower flange 
bolts have been tightened. Torque for all these bolts is 

5 kg/m.  

 

Filling the hydraulic circuit.  

 
MAX POWER recommends the use of 

ISO GRADE 15 to 32 hydraulic oils

 for the 

power circuit. This mineral oil has already been used by Max Power during the run in 
tests and consequently the RETRACT motor and piping are already filled with this 
kind off oil.  

 
CAUTION

: Biodegradable and mineral (commonly used) oils are non-compatible and 

should not be mixed or used together. Mixing them will deteriorate certain hydraulic 
elements. If you intend to use a biodegradable oil, thoroughly flush the existing 
mineral oil from the RETRACT unit first with the appropriate oil.  
 
Before carrying out the below test we recommend to disconnect the wire at terminal 
N° 32 in the control box. 
Or if PLC, disable thrust valve!
