Lubrication and maintenance
5.3. Hoses and cylinders
Read this before checking the hydraulic system for leakage:
Warning!
Pressurised oil.
Hydraulic oil at high pressure can be injected
into the body in the event of leakage and cause
serious injury, blindness or fatality. Leakage may
be invisible.
Use approved protective safety glasses and
protect the skin using strong leather gloves for
example. Use cardboard or wood for leakage
detection. If fluid has entered the skin then it
MUST be removed within a couple of hours by a
doctor who can treat this type of injury.
Check hoses and connections for wear and leakage
at regular intervals. Ensure that hoses have sufficient
clearance and do not scrape against other components.
Replace damaged hoses and tighten all connections.
The cylinders are double-acting. They must always be
maintained in good condition for optimal function. Leaks,
internal or external, affect performance and may be
dangerous.
In order for the implement to function optimally, it requires
a hydraulic system that works at high pressure. Only use
spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
5.3.1. Checking the hydraulic connections
Check that all hoses and adapters are tightened and that
they do not leak.
5.3.2. Repairing the hydraulic cylinders
The removal, repair and fitting of the hydraulic cylinders
require special tools to prevent damage to internal
components. We recommend that a cylinder that needs
repairing be sent to an authorised dealer to be fixed.
Fig.32 NEVER use fingers or hands for leakage detection.
