Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, sampling

Fig. 1

Fix an instruction sticker (Fig. 1): in the cab, on the hydraulic oil tank and on the equipment. Start up the machine. check level in hydraulic tank according to servicing plan. The hydraulic fluid may dissolve deposits in the hydraulic system. - Therefore change all filters 30 - 50 operating hours after making the change. - Make further filter changes according to servicing plan. Sample the hydraulic fluid after 30 - 50 operating hours and send in for analysis (see section 'Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, sampling').

Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, sampling

Complete sets are compiled for hydraulic fluid analysis. They contain all necessary parts. Sets are available from our spare-parts service. After 30 - 50 operating hours with environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid, take a sample of the hydraulic fluid. - Send this sample in for analysis. After this, we recommend sending in a sample for analysis every 1000 operating hours or once a year. It is essential that the hydraulic fluid should be analysed not later than after 3000 operating hours. - The results of the analysis show whether the hydraulic fluid is still serviceable and the changing intervals can be extended. - In case of questions ask our service department.
