ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

OVERVIEW

This product is a precision made hydraulic machine. Therefore great care and cleanliness should be taken when handling any of the hydraulic components. Dirt is the worst enemy in hydraulic systems. Handle the parts carefully and remember to cover any cleaned and dried parts with clean lint-free cloth. Do not use anything other than purpose designed materials for cleaning hydraulic parts. Never use water, paint thinners or carbon tetrachloride. Components, gaskets and seals in the hydraulic system should be oiled with clean hydraulic oil before assembly.

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS IN SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

The service interval is considerably shorter in special applications. See “Special conditions of use” on page 23. In special applications, please consult your local dealer for the correct service intervals.

OTHER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Washing the attachment

When working with attachment and removing it from the carrier, dirt (mud, rock powder etc.) can become attached to it. Wash the outside of the product with a steam washer before sending it to the workshop. Dirt can cause difficulties in disassembly and assembly otherwise. CAUTION! Plug the pressure and return line before washing the product or else dirt can enter into it and this may cause damage to the components.
