1.4.6 HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS INSPECTION
PROCEDURES
To maintain proper working order and prolonged
cylinder performance, it is essential to inspect
them at least once a week as recommended.
Verify that all the connections of the flexible
hoses and pipes are tight, and that there are no
external leaks.
Check that all the cylinder head cap screws are
firmly tightened and that there are no leaks.
All leaks must be corrected immediately by
replacing damaged or worn seals with new
ones. Lubricate and inspect all the cylinder
mounting points (pins, retaining bolts, etc.).
