CM140 - Inspection of the pneumatic system
Orientation
Operating fluids such as hydraulic fluids, cooling lubricants, lubricating greases/oils
are also subject to degradation or aging as the components involved in this process,
and must therefore be serviced, refilled or replaced at regular intervals.
To ensure trouble-free operation, periodic checks of the pneumatic system are
necessary.
- Check pressure setting on pressure gauge.
- Check fluid lines.
- Check silencers.
- Drain off condensate.
- Check filters, replace if necessary.
