Flushing - Replenishing or Changing the Hydraulic Fluid (Figure A3)
If necessary, to remove any contaminants, flush out the hydraulic system as follows.
a. Connect the bleed hose assembly (1) to the priming port and a bleed hose to the
pressure port as shown below:
1 Bleed hose assembly 2 Priming pump 3 Screw-press 4 Isolation valve
O - Open C - Closed
Figure A3 - Flushing/Filling Connections
b. Fill the priming fluid container with clean hydraulic fluid of the required type. Use
the priming pump (2), to pump fresh hydraulic fluid through the system until clean
hydraulic fluid, free of air bubbles, emerges into the container at the output port.
Discard the contaminated fluid expelled during this process.
c. Remove the bleed hose assembly (1) located to the output port and, to prevent
the ingress of any contaminant, fit a blanking plug in its place.
d. Close the isolation valve (4) and remove the bleed hose assembly (1) from the
priming inlet.
e. Clean off any surplus oil that may have spilled onto the instrument casing.
The instrument is now ready for operation or storage. If storing, apply a label detailing
the type of hydraulic fluid contained in the instrument. For long term storage, it is
recommended that the instrument be drained and stored empty.
