MAINTENANCE
For the Pentruder modular drill system / Pentpak 15/25 to remain in a condition that is safe for
operation at all times, certain maintenance is needed. Please read the instructions below
carefully before any service work is commenced.
For safe and uninterrupted operation of the machine, we strongly recommend that the
complete machine is brought back to your dealer for service once a year. At this service the
machine is checked for proper function and all components critical for safe and reliable
operation are checked and replaced if necessary.
Please respect the following maintenance instructions:
Warning!
No service or maintenance may be performed on the power pack unless it is
disconnected electrically from the mains.
Warning!
No service or maintenance may be performed on the saw head unless it is
disconnected hydraulically from the power pack.
REMOTE CONTROL
Remote Control unit:
Check the remote control unit for correct function and that the multi-pin-plug
is free from dirt and undamaged.
POWER PACK
Oil level in the
power pack:
Check the oil level in the power pack. On the 76 mm level indicator
the oil should be up to 1/3 of the glass when the power pack is
switched off, with the new 127 mm level indicator the oil should be up
to 2/3 of the glass when the power pack is switched off. Se also
“Pressure drop” and “Shutting off the electrical motor of the power
pack”.
Under operation, the oil level may seem to be lower. This is normal
and not an indication that something is wrong.
Oil change in the
power pack:
Renew the oil at regular intervals, preferably every month. To renew
the oil, unscrew the black filler cap and the filter cap. Then unscrew
the plug in front of the left wheel and drain the oil.Take out the oil filter
and replace with a new cartridge.
Fill again with approximately 7 litres of hydraulic oil, quality HLP 46 or
equivalent, until the level is 1/3 (2/3 see below) up on the level
indicator. Wait for a few minutes until the level has equalised between
the two tanks and fit the black filler cap. Now fill the filter tank
completely and fit and tighten the filter cap.
