Controls
– Check the fluidtightness and general state of the cylinders periodically;
– Replace the oil in the cylinders every year by disconnecting one coupling on the cylinder;
– Check that the couplings are fluidtight and properly tightened;
– Replace the hoses as soon as damage to or a tear on the hose has been noticed. Ensure that
they are maintained in good condition since the safety in use of the tensioner depends on this
equipment.

Cleaning
As far as maintenance is concerned, the term cleaning is to be taken in its widest sense and it
includes all routine maintenance operations, such as lubrication and tightening. Regular cleaning is
a form of inspection, during which those involved can discover leaks, irregularities and damage at
an early stage and will be able to deal with them before these deteriorations lead to a breakdown or
an incident.
