Hoses
Lubricate the hose reel swivel joints
with automotive chassis grease
monthly.
Inspect the torque control mechanism
every six months and coat all moving
parts with automotive chassis grease.
Avoid contaminating the hydraulic fluid
and hydraulic system, including the
hoses and couplings, with dust, water,
or other foreign matter. Introduction of
foreign materials into the system will
damage the machinery.
Torque gauge hose end connec-
tions should be kept clean at all times
through the use of dust covers or by
wrapping them with a clean cloth when
not in use. Open, loose ends, especially
those that have been dropped on the
ground, should be thoroughly cleaned
inside and out, and flushed prior to use.
Extend the life of the hoses by never
allowing them to become twisted or
kinked, or unnecessarily stretched. Do
not allow any sharp or heavy objects
to drop or lay on the hoses. Doing so
may cut or crush them.
Machinery and hoses should not be
allowed to remain outdoors when not
in use.
In cold climates, it is particularly impor-
tant to keep the hydraulic system free
of moisture caused by condensation or
water contaminated hydraulic fluid. Any
moisture in the system may freeze and
cause severe damage, especially to the
pump and valves.
Power Unit
Inspect trailer-mounted units prior to
use to ensure that it is safe and road-
worthy. Pay particular attention when
inspecting the following items:
1. Trailer hitch and safety chain
2. Brakes and tires
3. Tail and brake lights, and turn signals
4. Reserve fuel supply
5. Trailer tongue jack and supports
Thoroughly clean the power unit when
the job has been completed. Replenish
the engine fuel and hydraulic oil sup-
plies. Make any necessary repairs at
this time. Hoses should be reeled after
cleaning and the hose ends covered.
Power Units with Air Controls
Expel water condensate from the tank
daily by opening the drain valve on the
bottom of the air receiver. Pressurize
the tank before opening the valve.
Visually inspect the filter/lubricator valve
twice a day. Drain any water that has
collected in the filter bowl and maintain
the lubricating oil at the proper operat-
ing level with SAE 10W motor oil.
Always keep the pump stroke cylinder
rod, rod bearing, and clevis coated with
chassis grease.
Power Units with Electric Controls
The electrical cable should be coiled
and stored on the cable bracket when
not in use. Cover the open end with
the provided dust cap. Avoid kinking
or placing undue tension on the cable.
Do not allow equipment to run over the
cable.
Open the relay cabinet at least once
a year (more often in humid climates)
for cleaning. All exposed terminals and
metal parts should be cleaned, dried,
and sprayed with silicone or varnish.
Power Swivel
Power Swivels should not be started
or operated in freezing weather until
the hydraulic system has been properly
prepared for cold weather service by:
1. Charge the hydraulic system with
hydraulic oil rated for cold weather.
2. Prepare the engine according to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
3. Ensure the hydraulic system is
moisture-free.
Never allow the power unit to vibrate.
Vibration indicates mechanical mis-
alignment or that the unit is not prop-
erly supported. The power unit should
be shutdown until the cause can be
determined and eliminated. Continued
excessive vibration will cause severe
damage to the hydraulic pump and
other components.
