8.0 Maintenance
8.5. Care and maintenance of the hydraulic system
Suitable for hydraulic fluids that
are mineral, glycol and synthetic
oil based.
Check hydraulic lines at regular
intervals for damage and aging and
replace if necessary.
The manufacturer's specified
replacement interval for hydraulic
lines is 6 years.
CAUTION !
The hydraulic system is not approved for
the use of organic oils
CAUTION !
Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. For this reason, always
depressurize the system before
disconnecting lines.Before pressure
builds up again in the system,
ensure that there are no leaks in
any of the line
connections.Hydraulic oil escaping
from a small opening is hardly
visible. A piece of cardboard
should therefore be used when
looking for leaks.
Protect hands and body from high
pressure fluids.
If a fluid penetrates the skin, it
must be removed immediately by a
doctor who is familiar with such
injuries; otherwise serious
infections could result. Doctors
unfamiliar with this type of injury
should check a reliable medical
reference.
