hoses.

Preventive maintenance and lubrication
After the First 8 working hours:
-
Check the connections and turnbuckles of the hydraulic hoses..
-
Check the bolts of the locking plate (4) (100Nm) and clamping strips (8) (140Nm.
-
Check the clamping bolts of the piston rod head of the rotating cylinder; these must be firmly secured
-
Fasten the tap bolts on the guide block (6) of the rotating cylinder tight (60 Nm), and secure using the lock
nuts.
After every 40 working hours:
-
Check the bolts of the locking plate (4) and tighten if necesarry (100Nm)
-
Clean and grease the gear Wheel and gear rack of the rotating cylinder (2). Check both for wear and tear.
Replace after excessive wear and tear.
-
Grease the rotating cylinder at the sliding strip of the guide block (6).
-
Check the tension of the guide block on the cylinder, readjust using the adjusting bolts, if necessary (60Nm),
and secure using the lock nuts.

This sticker shows the position of a grease nipple on the machine. Lubricate the machine after every 10
working hours. Recommended lubricants include SAE 30 oil and Grade 2 grease based on lithium.
Regularly check the hydraulic section for any leaks. Never try and search for leaks or stop a leak by hand.
Liquid under high pressure can easily penetrate skin and clothing, and may cause serious injuries. Replace
any damaged hydraulic hoses to prevent them from breaking and any accidents as a result.
Regularly check the oil level of the hydraulic system of your forklift truck / tractor.
