(Routine Preventative Maintenance, continued)
Use only approved hydraulic fluid, an AW-type at ISO 32
viscosity, or equivalent.
Contaminants in the hydraulic oil will greatly accelerate wear on
expensive components of the hydraulic system (cylinder, pump,
valves, etc.). Once per year or every 4,000 operating hours,
whichever comes first, the reservoir (tank) air vent filter should
be cleaned or replaced. In particularly dirty or windy
environments, this cleaning should be more frequent. If the fluid
is the color of motor oil or honey, it is probably suitable for
continued use. If it is darkening, or is as dark as coffee, it has
probably been overheated and should be replaced. Hydraulic
fluid temperature should not regularly exceed 150ºF.

Routine maintenance of mechanical parts of the compactor
consists primarily of checking for breakage, lubrication, and
tightness of fasteners.
Any time you are removing covers, or entering the compactor in a
way that will expose you to moving parts, you must disable

cylinder rods to ensure there are no nicks or scratches (these will
wear on seal surfaces, causing leaks and possible contamination
of the hydraulic fluid).
Inspect all screws, bolts, and other fasteners, particularly those
associated with guards, switches, and other safety devices.
Tighten or replace as necessary.
