9.2 HYDRAULICS
After every job the hydraulic fitting and hoses connecting the unit to the Tong as well as in the back of
the Backup should be checked if tight as well as for leaks, wear, and any damage. Components that
have excessive wear or are damaged should be replaced.
Ensure the oil filter used on the hydraulic power unit is kept clean. Dirty hydraulic oil will reduce the life
of the hydraulic cylinder seals.
