SAFETY
MAINTENANCE
STANDARD PRACTICES
Maintenance of and repairs to the MATERIAL PROCESSOR should be performed by
an experienced service technician, thoroughly familiar with all standard practices and
procedures, and most importantly, all safety precautions. The following is a review of
common standard practices to be followed when working with hydraulic equipment, and
is not meant to be all-inclusive. Rather, this review is presented as a reminder as to
some of the unique characteristics of hydraulic equipment.
 The prevention of foreign contaminant damage is critical when working with
hydraulic equipment. Protect exposed holes and parts to guard against entry of
contaminants. Install metal or plastic plugs/caps where applicable to prevent entry
of debris into the hydraulic system.
 Mark the location and position of mating parts as an aid to re-assembly. Mark
corresponding parts uniquely to reflect their relationship, including proper location,
position, orientation, and/or alignment.
DO:
 During assembly, observe all markings made during disassembly, and all
corresponding features of mating parts to ensure proper location, position,
orientation, and alignment.
 During disassembly of a sub-assembly, place removed components on a clean, dry
surface, in proper relative position as an aid in re-assembly.
 Always inspect threaded areas on components. Repair or replace as required.
Never apply uncured thread adhesive to a fastener that has cured adhesive on it.
Clean the fastener and the threaded bore. A tap and die may be helpful for this task.
Be sure to remove loose debris from the threaded bore.
 Use care to avoid scratches, nicks, dents, or other damage to machined surfaces of
mating components.
 When securing a component, always tighten cap screws gradually in an opposing
pattern, applying the specified torque.
 Grease can be used to temporarily hold a part in place while the abutting part is
placed into position.
 Always use common sense and exercise standard safety precautions when working
with all tools and equipment required to maintain, repair or troubleshoot the
MATERIAL PROCESSOR.
