PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Daily Preventative Maintenance
1) INSPECTION
Perform the WALK AROUND INSPECTION described in Section 3, OPERATION.
A) When checking for hydraulic leaks pay particular attention to hose ttings and
connections at the cylinders and valves. Build up of hydraulic uid and dirt indicates a
small leak that can probably be corrected by tightening the tting or connection.
B) Check the visual indicator to determine the condition of the lter element (This proce-
dure must be done with the vehicle running and the hydraulic system on.)
D) Inspect the mounting sills and mounting hardware.
2) CLEANING
Hose the entire unit inside and out with clean water. Make sure no refuse is lodged behind the
pack/eject panel.
3) LUBRICATION
Frequent inspection of grease points will indicate when lubrication is needed. When lling
grease zerks pump grease until grease begins to expel from the pin bore.
4) CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
Position and fully retract all the cylinders to check the uid level. When checking the uid
level in the hydraulic reservoir note any frequent or sudden loss of uid. This may indicate
leakage, which must be traced and corrected to avert equipment failure and possible damage
to other components.
If the hydraulic uid is low, ll the hydraulic reservoir to the “NORMAL FILL LEVEL” with
hydraulic uid as speci ed in Section 4, SPECIFICATIONS according to operating and weather
conditions.
Weekly Preventative Maintenance
