10.0 INSPECTION, CLEANING, DECONTAMINATION, AND STORAGE
1. Always store the power unit in a clean, dry space.
2. Never store a power unit under pressure.
3. Store the power unit upright.
BEFORE BEING PLACED BACK IN SERVICE, power units must be inspected to this checklist;
1. Check to see that all markings are legible. Contact your local dealer or AMKUS Rescue Systems for replacement labels.
2. Wipe tool, hoses, fittings and couplings clean (see routine maintenance for hoses and couplings).
3. Inspect the power unit, hoses, fittings and couplings after each use for damage, leakage and excessive wear.
4. If the power unit becomes contaminated, determine the nature of the contamination. IE: biological, chemical, radioactive. The
authority having jurisdiction may follow internal decontamination guidelines or request technical advice from AMKUS.
5. Check engine oil per the manufacturer’ recommendations after each use.
6. Check the hydraulic fluid levels after each use. Replenish as necessary with AMKUS MV1 mineral based hydraulic fluid.
WARNING
Any power unit failing any part of the checklist is unsafe for use and must have the problem
corrected before use or being placed back into service. Operating a power unit that has failed the
checklist is a misuse of this equipment.
