6.1 – Hydraulic system periodic maintenance
The periodic maintenance activity the system must be subject to, on a regular basis and according to the
type of application, must include the listed below controls.
Verify the possible presence of leakage in the complete hydraulic system; in case leakage is
present:
o
tighten the fixing screws by means of a wrench, specially if high or frequent change of
direction of application of the load characterise the application;
o
replace failed or exhausted seals.
Inspect and keep clean all system’s filters (air, oil and magnetic).
o
Replace the dirty filters;
o
Inspect the tank and check the possible presence of water or humidity.
During system’s function, it is necessary to:
o
Verify that pressure and temperature of the operating fluid are those initially determined.
Check the characteristics of the used hydraulic fluid.
Check that the hydraulic system does not get contaminated by external agents.
Always keep in mind that in a clean hydraulic system it is easier to determine the
presence of leakage as well as find out failure’s reasons.
It is recommended to collect in a dedicated file data and findings of the periodic as well as
extraordinary maintenance intervention.
