9.0 Care and Maintenance - [cont’d]
WARNING
Crush injury. Any guard removed
from the equipment for purpose of
inspection or maintenance must be
reinstalled before returning back to
work.
WARNING
Injury from pressurized fluid. Fluid under
pressure can penetrate skin. Never use
hands to locate leaks. Use cardboard.
Regularly inspect hoses for damage. Replacement
hoses must be the same type and pressure rating.
Replace hose if any of the following conditions are
present:
x
Leak at end fitting that cannot be eliminated
through proper tightening techniques
x
Outer coverings are chafed or cut.
x
Wires are exposed
x
Outer coverings are ballooning
x
Flexible part of the hoses are kinked
x
Outer covers have embedded armoring
x
End fittings are displaced
CAUTION
Hot surface - Burn injury if contacted.
Some components of the machinery
become hot during operation. Allow parts
and fluids to cool before handling.
IMPORTANT
Do not make alterations to the Allied equipment
without written authorization from the Allied
Engineering Department.
9.3 10 Hour (Daily) Maintenance
x
Remove all excessive dirt/debris on the Ho-Pac
that can decrease performance.
x
Check for loose or missing fasteners.
x
Check components for excessive wear.
x
Check spring mounts for cracks.
x
Check fasteners for missing, damaged or loose
connections.
x
Check hoses and connections for oil leaks.
9.4 Carrier Oil Level and Quality
CAUTION
Follow the recommended service
intervals from the carrier manufacturer.
Check oil level in reservoir. Check records for last oil
and filter service. Test oil quality. Review the
manufacturer's maintenance schedule. It may specify
operating conditions that require special attention to
maintenance and adjusted service intervals.
Maintain clean oil in the carrier. Follow the
recommendations from the carrier manufacturer for
approved hydraulic oils and hydraulic system
maintenance.
IMPORTANT
Contamination will diminish service life of
components. Use care while performing service to
hydraulic systems. Safeguard against contaminating
the oil. Before connections are opened, ensure fluids
are collected in a suitable container. Clean up any
spilled oil. Obey all local regulations for the disposal
of these fluids.
9.5 Oil-Lubricated Bearing System
The bearings are continuously lubricated during
operation from the oil splash system located within
the housing weldment.
CAUTION
Check the bearing oil level regularly. Make sure it is
up to the ‘FULL’ line, and check for leaks if the level
is low. For oil changes, keep to the schedule. Avoid
mixing different oil types that may not be compatible.
The best approach is to thoroughly flush out old
fluids before adding a different type.
9.5.1 Vent Plug
The lubrication system is sealed to protect the oil
from outside contamination. A vent plug is located on
the housing weldment near the fill plug. It is a one-
way passage used to vent any pressure build-up
inside. A small amount of oil residue surrounding its
location is normal.
