MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Off Season:
• Use care when disconnecting hydraulic lines to assure that no dirt or foreign
objects enter the hydraulic system. Use caps to cover hydraulic hose fittings
and insert plugs in hydraulic ports.
• Hydraulic cylinders should be fully retracted when stored during the off season
to prevent damage or corrosion. The remaining exposed shaft surface should
be coated with a thick grease to prevent corrosion, which must be removed
before returning to regular service.
• Check mounting bolts for wear and/or damaged threads and replace before next
season.
In Season:
• Check for loose bolts and nuts daily, and re-torque before use. (Failure to
inspect equipment on a daily basis may seriously affect safety and/or efficiency.)
• Lubricate all grease fittings every ten hours of normal use and more frequently
under heavy use.
• A cross over relief valve (1800 PSI) MUST be plumbed into the reversing circuit.
• Check all hydraulic fittings for tightness on a regular basis.
• System pressure should NOT exceed 2000
PSI.
• Check cutting edge for wear. Do not let cutting edge wear closer than
1
⁄2" to
3
⁄8" from the bottom angle of the moldboard.
• Due to the nature of use and environment this equipment is operating in,
damage and wear may occur at anytime. Therefore, Monroe Truck
Equipment recommends the end user establish and follow a daily inspection
routine before using this equipment.
