will reduce corrosion, and enable thorough inspection of all the main housing,
frame, and connecting hydraulic hose and fittings.
It is necessary to regularly check the hydraulic hose and fittings for serious
impact damage, cuts or abrasions. Any damaged parts should be replaced
immediately, remembering to follow the depressurisation procedure first. The
hydraulic fittings should be checked regularly to ensure they are all tight. By
simply looking at the white marker protruding from the bottom of the
compensator, it is possible to determine whether there has been any loss of oil
during operation. There should be approximately 75mm of marker visible
when the system is correctly pressurised.
It is good working practice to regularly check all fastenings to ensure they are
present, tight, and there is no damage to them or the items they are fitted to.
Any damaged fastenings should be replaced immediately. It is recommended
to change the oil in the system during each major service, which could be
once a year depending upon use.
