5.4 REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS
Various kinds of adjustments may be necessary during normal machine use and, therefore, these operaons come under
regular maintenance acvity.
HOSING
Checking Condion
Check the seam fastening the ng to the hose and the condion of the hose.
If the hose shows signs of ageing, breakages, swellings, abrasions etc., it must be replaced.
Check that there are no oil leaks. Oil leaking out from a very small hole can be almost invisible
but can create a jet strong enough to pierce skin. When looking for oil leaks, use a piece of
card or wood.
Check the condion of the rigid hydraulic pipelines too.
Replacement
NOTE!! The hosing must be replaced with the hydraulic system depressurised.
To depressurise the system, disconnect the PTO, stop the truck engine, and move the
control levers both ways.
Unscrew the ngs, collecng the oil in a suitable container.
Replace the hose and ghten ngs.
CHECKING FOR OIL LEAKS FROM FITTINGS
Oil leaks from the ngs can normally be stopped by ghtening the ngs correctly.
Oil leaks from the ngs (A) equipped with gaskets can only be stopped by replacing the
ng.
CHECKING HOSING GUARDS
These guards protect the operator against potenal oil spurts in the event of hose breakage. If worn or broken,
they must be replaced.
CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
When carrying out this check, the machine must be in the resng posion, with all the outriggers retracted and the vehicle
located on at ground. Proceed as outlined below:
• Check the oil level every day.
• To carry out this check, view the level via the glass gauge situated on the side of the tank
• Top up the oil unl the level is between the minimum and maximum
• For oil quality, see the secon entled "Oils and Lubricants".
Inside the tank cap there is a lter element for the air breather pipe; the whole cap must therefore be replaced as regularly as
the oil lter, as specied in the maintenance schedule.
