Care and maintenance
Free up or clean moving parts of the squeezing devices free of dirt and sand every time they are used.
We recommend the manufacturer Molykote Longterm W2 or G-421 according to TL 9150–0075 as grease
to be used on the cylinder piston.
When using the device on its side the hydraulic cylinder should be pumped up/out every 6 months and
then moved back in again.
Topping up the hydraulic fluid:
Please ensure that no sand or a similar material can find its way into the hydraulic cylinder in the process.
Contamination in the hydraulic fluid can lead to destruction of the seals and therefore to breakdowns.
-hold the squeezing device upright – not horizontal.
- remove the rubber plug.
- only top up with hydraulic fluid up to below the rubber plug opening.
- insert the plug again.
According to the manufacturer possible hydraulic fluids to use include:
HL 15 – Hl 22 DIN 51524 (ISO VG 15-22)
for example Shell-Tellus C 15, Shell-Tellus C 22 or Mobil DTE 13.
or hydraulic fluid H-540 according to TL 9150-0035 or Aero Shell Fluid 71.
According to VGB 8 § 23 the hydraulic cylinder should be checked as often as required, but at least once
a year, by a competent body (specialist workshop).
Changes to the machine and repair work performed by non-competent persons are not permitted on
safety grounds.
