The service life of a machine can be increased by
keeping dirt and foreign materials out of the vital
components. Shields, covers, seals and filters help to
keep air and oil supplies clean. However, these items
must be maintained on a scheduled basis in order to
function properly.
Clean surrounding areas, as well as the opening and
fittings before disconnecting air or oil lines. As soon
as a line or component is disconnected, cap or cover
all openings to prevent the entry of dirt or foreign
materials.
New parts should remain in their container until they
are ready to be used.
Clearly mark or tag hydraulic lines and electrical
wiring connections when disconnecting or removing
them from the machine. This will assure that they are
correctly reinstalled.
Proper assembly is critical to the successful rebuilding
of any machine. Carefully, inspect any parts which are
to be reused. If in doubt, replace.
“Safety First” is a good slogan.
Replace any guards and protective devices that have
been removed to carry out maintenance and repair
work.
