Hydraulic Fluid Level:
•
Check the fluid level in the
reservoir after each 10 hours of
use. The fluid level should be 1.3-
3.8 cm (0.5-1.5 in.) from the top of
the fill hole when all cylinders are
retracted
•
Drain, flush, and refill the reservoir
with a hydraulic fluid after every
300 hours of use. The frequency
of fluid changes depends upon
general working conditions,
severity of use, the overall
cleanliness and care given to the
pump. Fluid should be changed
more frequently when the system
is not operated regularly indoors
Adding Hydraulic Fluid To The
Reservoir:
•
Retract the cylinder(s) devices
• Disconnect the power supply
• Clean the entire area around the
filler plug
•
Remove the filler plug, and install
a clean funnel with a filter
•
Use only hydraulic fluid rated at
AW 46 47 cSt @ 38°C (215 SUS
@ 100°F). If low temperature
requirements are needed, use
hydraulic fluid 5.1 cSt @ 100°C
(451 cSt @ -40°C)

MAINTENANCE: (CONT)
Sound Reduction - Electric Motor
• The electric powered hydraulic
pump operates in the 67-81 dBA
range
Hose Connections:
• IMPORTANT:
To prevent personal
injury from leaking hydraulic fluid,
seal all hydraulic connections with
a high-quality, non-hardening,
pipe thread sealant
• IMPORTANT:
Sealant tape
or non-hardening sealer tape
can be used to seal hydraulic
connections if only one layer of
tape is used. Apply tape carefully,
two threads back, to prevent it
from being pinched by the coupler
and broken off inside the system.
Loose pieces of sealant could
travel through the system and
obstruct the flow of fluid or cause
jamming of precision-fit parts
Storage:
Store the unit in a dry, well-
protected area where it will not be
exposed to corrosive vapors, dust, or
other harmful elements. If a unit has
been stored for an extended period of
time, it must be thoroughly inspected
before it is used.
