7.2.3.1 Hydraulic bio-oil (optional).
At the request of the customer, the machines can be supplied with biodegradable hydraulic oil compatible with the
environment. Biodegradable hydraulic oil is completely synthetic, without zinc, non-polluting and highly efficient with
saturated ester base, combined with special additives. The machines with biodegradable oil use the same parts and
components as the standard machines. However, the type of oil should be considered in the design phase already.
If you wish to change from mineral-oil based over to hydraulic “bio” oil, the following procedure must be followed.
7.2.3.2 Draining
Drain the tank and the system lines (oil tank, cylinders, large-volume pipes) while the hydraulic oil is still hot.
7.2.3.3 Filters
Replace filter cartridges. Use standard filters as indicated by the manufacturer.
7.2.3.4 Washing
After completely emptying the machine, fill the recommended type and quantity of “bio” oil.
Start the machine and perform all work movements at low revs for at least 30 minutes.
Drain the liquid out of the system as explained under 7.2.3.1.1.
Warning: During the entire washing procedure, avoid air entering the system.
7.2.3.5 Filling
After washing, fill the hydraulic circuit, bleed and check the level.
Bear in mind that contact of fluid with the hydraulic pipes can cause swelling.
Also remember that contact of fluid with the skin can cause reddening or irritation.
Also use suitable PPE during these operations (e.g., protective eyewear and gloves).
7.2.3.6 Start-up test
“Bio” oil behaves regularly, but it must be checked by taking a sample at set intervals according to the indications
provided below:
INSPECTION LOG NORMAL DUTY HEAVY DUTY
1st CHECK AFTER 50 OPERATION HOURS 50 OPERATION HOURS
2nd CHECK AFTER 500 OPERATION HOURS 250 OPERATION HOURS
3rd CHECK AFTER 1000 OPERATION HOURS 500 OPERATION HOURS
FOLLOWING CHECKS 1000 HOURS OR 1 OPERATION
YEAR
500 HOURS OR 1 OPERATION
YEAR
This schedule allows consistent monitoring of the oil grade so that it can be reused as much as possible before its
properties are lost. Normally, in the absence of contaminating agents, the oil is never completely changed, but only
occasionally topped-up.
The oil samples (at least 500ml) must be taken with the system at operating temperature.
It is recommended to use new and clean containers.
