To prevent personal injury:
• Disconnect the unit from the power source before performing maintenance or repair
procedures.
• Repairs and maintenance are to be performed in a dust-free area by a qualified technician.
1. SYSTEM EVALUATION
• The components of your hydraulic system — pump, 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
2. 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:
• Excessive wear, bending, damage, or insufficient thread engagement.
• Leaking hydraulic fluid.
• Loose bolts, cap screws, or pipe plugs.
• Bent or damaged couplers or port threads.
3. PERIODIC CLEANING
• Contamination of the hydraulic fluid could cause the valve to malfunction
Establish a routine to keep the hydraulic system as free from dirt as possible.
• Seal unused couplers with dust covers.
• Keep hose connections free of dirt and grime.
• Use only Power Team hydraulic fluid. Replace the hydraulic fluid as recommended, or
sooner if the fluid becomes contaminated. Never exceed 300 hours of use between fluid
changes.
4. HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL
• Check the fluid level in the reservoir after each 10 hours of use. The fluid level should be
level with the bottom of the fill hole when all cylinders are retracted and the unit is in the
upright (vertical) position.
