3. Inspect installation to make sure hoses are not kinked
or pinched between the truck carriage and attachment.
4. Operate the attachment continuously for several
minutes to determine that all hydraulic connections
are secure with no leaks, and to remove any air in the
hydraulic system.
Notice
Equipment damage and loss of performance
could result if air is trapped in the hydraulic
system.
Activate the hydraulic functions several
times after hydraulic service has been
performed, to bleed trapped air out of the
system before returning attachment to
service.
5. With the mast in the vertical position, open the attach-
ment arms all the way. If you are working with a paper
roll clamp, close the arms all the way. Now check that
the truck’s hydraulic oil reservoir level is at the recom-
mended level.
6. Before placing the attachment in operation check the
following:
A.
Inspect all hoses and fittings for leaks and routing
clearance. Be sure to include clearance of jumper
hoses to the mast.
B.
Check the valve and cylinder for leaks.
C.
Check cotter pins at each end
of the cylinder for security.
