6.2.6 – Degree of contamination
A high degree of contamination of the operating oil causes a severe wear of all hydraulic components: for
this reason, the cause of the contamination must be identified and eliminated.
This analysis might also help in better optimising the schedules for the oil replacement. In any case, the oil
changes have to be performed at least every 12 months.
In order to avoid mixing of different oils, when replacing the operating fluid, it is
necessary to empty all the machinery and pipes, clean them carefully and clean the
tank.
It is important to perform the complete oil replacement also inside the case of the motor: motor case must
be totally emptied.
6.3 - Emptying
In order to complete empty the motor, it is necessary to:
unscrew the plug (1) (pls. see the picture below) from the drain port;
let the fluid get out from the case.
In order to facilitate the operation, we suggest that also the second drain port is
opened (2)
When the operation is completer:
plug the first drain port (1), and the second one (2) if opened.
Emptying motor
case process
Once the motor case is emptied, the operating fluid has to be gathered and consigned
to an authorised collector.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO THROW ANY OPERATING OIL INTO THE SEWAGE!
