Servicing the hydraulic system
- Check filter indicators (A and G) periodically. A large hydraulic consumer must run at full speed for the dirt indication gauges to work.
- Check oil level (E) periodically.
- We recommend to replace hydraulic oil and filters (B and H) after the initial start up and test period. This is to eliminate all debris and
dirt from installation and start up, to ensure a trouble free and long service life. After this first service, oil and filters should be replaced
every 2000 engine hours / every 3 year.
- Between service intervals, make sure to replace the oil and filters (B and H) if misscolouring or a distinctive smell is present.
- Check that all electrical connections are clean and fastened firmly.
- We advice to drain a little bit of oil out of the drain plug (C) of the tank once a year to let any possible sedimentation and water out.
- Minimum once a year, the hoses and hose fittings must be checked for wear and leakages. Make sure that all fittings are tight and
secure. This must be done more often on a commercial vessel with lots of usage of the hydraulic system.
- For high pressure filter element replacement, please unscrew filter element bowl (B) to get access to the element. Make sure to use
clean tools and avoid getting dirt in the system. Use a bucket, or similar, to collect the oil spill when dissasembling and assembling
the filter. Proceed to replace the old element with the new one. After replacement, make sure to tighten the filter element bowl (B)
properly.
- For return filter element replacement, please open the top cover (H) on the return filter to get access to the filter element. Make sure
to use clean tools and avoid getting dirt in the system. Use a CLEAN towel, or similar, to collect the oil spill when dissasembling and
assembling the filter. Proceed to replace the old element with the new one. After replacement, make sure to secure the top cover (H)
and tighten the three bolts properly.
