MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
After machine wash
Lubricate all machine parts and extra equipment after each wash.
Hydraulic hoses
Carefully check condition of all hoses during routine service paying particular attention
to chafed outer casing. Secure wrap with waterproof adhesive tape to stop the metal
braid from rusting.
Daily inspect all hydraulic hoses and fittings to be in good order. Any damages or
leaks must be rectified immediately; this is part of the daily maintenance and is your
responsibility, to unsure a long reliable working life.
Hoses with damaged metal braid should be replaced.
When replacing hoses quote number stamped on fitting at one end. The Spearhead
hydraulic system works at very high pressure, when replacing hoses use only genuine
hoses, a burst hose could be very dangerous.
When replacing hoses to avoid twisting fitting, use two spanners to slacken and
tighten.
Always check the black protective sleeve is in good order, to replace sleeve is far
cheaper than replacing expensive hoses.
Hose warranty is limited to replacement of hoses due to faulty materials or
manufacture Warranty will not be considered on hoses damaged by chafing, abrasion,
cuts or pinching while in work, or to damaged threads due to over tightening.
WARNING
Hose is weakened when installed in twisted
position. Also, pressure pulses in a twisted
hose tend to fatigue wire and loosen fitting
connections. Design so that machine motion
produces bending rather than torsion.
