General Maintenance
System Evaluation
The components of your hydraulic system — cylinders, pumps, hoses, and couplings — all must be:
•
Rated for the same maximum operating pressure.
•
Correctly connected.
• Compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
A system that does not meet these requirements can fail, possibly resulting in serious injury. If you are
in doubt about the components of your hydraulic system, contact Power Team Technical Support.
Inspection
Keep a dated and signed inspection record of the equipment. Before each use, the operator or other
designated personnel should visually inspect for the following conditions:
•
Cracked or damaged cylinder.
• Excessive wear, bending, damage, or insufficient thread engagement.
• Leaking hydraulic fluid.
•
Scored or damaged piston rod.
•
Incorrectly functioning or damaged heads and caps.
•
Loose bolts or cap screws.
•
Damaged or incorrectly assembled accessory equipment.
• Modified, welded, or altered equipment.
•
Bent or damaged couplers or port threads.
Periodic cleaning
WARNING: Contamination of the hydraulic fluid could cause the valve to malfunction. Loss
of the load or personal injury could result.
Establish a routine to keep the hydraulic system as free from debris as possible.
•
Seal unused couplers with dust covers.
•
Keep hose connections free of debris. Equipment attached to a cylinder must be kept clean.
•
Keep the breather-hole in the filler cap clean and unobstructed.
•
Use only Power Team hydraulic fluid. Replace hydraulic fluid as recommended, or sooner if the fluid
becomes contaminated. Never exceed 300 hours of use between fluid changes.
Hydraulic Fluid Level
1. Check the fluid level in the reservoir after each 10 hours of use. The fluid level should be checked
when all cylinders are retracted.
2. Drain, flush, and refill the reservoir with an approved Power Team hydraulic fluid after every 300
hours of use. The frequency of fluid changes depends upon general working conditions, severity of
use, the overall cleanliness and care given to the pump. Fluid should be changed more frequently
when the system is not operated regularly indoors.
WARNING:
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before performing maintenance or repair
procedures.
• Repairs and maintenance are to be performed in a dust-free area by a qualified
technician.
