10.3 Maintenance schedule
Valves require low maintenance if used as intended.
For a long and reliable operation of the valve, Bosch Rexroth recommends regularly
checking the hydraulic system and the valve.
10.3.1 Checking for leakage
Check the valve for leakage. An early detection of hydraulic fluid loss may help you
to identify and remedy errors. Bosch Rexroth therefore recommends that you keep
the valve and/or the system permanently clean.
10.3.2 Checking for noise development
Check the valve for noise development. Based on noise development or the
increase of noise development, a possible failure of one or several components can
be recognized in time and consequential damage can be avoided.
10.3.3 Checking the mounting elements
Check that the mounting elements are attached firmly. All mounting elements are
to be checked with the system being switched off, depressurized and cooled down.
