7 Maintenance
Checking the hydraulic system and hoses
Check the hydraulic system and hoses daily for leaks and general
condition.
Leaks and damaged pressure lines must immediately be repaired or
replaced by a Wacker Neuson service center. This not only increases the
operating safety of the machine but also helps to protect the environment.
► Have damaged or leaky pressure lines immediately repaired or
replaced by a Wacker Neuson service center.
► Have hydraulic hoses replaced every 6 years from the date of
manufacture, even if they do not seem to be damaged.
• Do not operate the machine with leaking or damaged hydraulic system
components.
• Retighten leaking threaded fittings and hose connections only when
the system is not under pressure. Release the pressure before working
on pressure lines.
•Do not weld or solder damaged or leaking pressure lines and threaded
fittings, but have them replaced.
• Wear protective equipment.
In this respect, Wacker Neuson recommends that you observe all the
relevant safety regulations for hydraulic lines, as well as the safety
regulations regarding accident prevention and occupational health and
safety in your country. Also observe DIN 20 066, part 5.
The article number is marked on the clamping section, and the date of
manufacture is indicated on the hose of each hose connection.
Have a line immediately replaced if one of the following problems is
detected:
• Damaged or leaky hydraulic seals
• Worn or torn shells or uncovered reinforcement branches
• Expanded shells in several positions.
• Entangled or crushed movable parts
• Foreign bodies jammed or stuck in protective layers.
