MODEL ZT1844
TheBanditisequippedwithaveryefficient,simple
hydraulic system. Each component is capable of
withstandingaspecifiedPSI(bar)andstilloperate
for a very long time.
If the simple rules mentioned below are followed, the
hydraulic components will last for years:
• Replace hydraulic oil & suction screen(s) at least
onceyearly.Thisisalsoaverygoodtimetoflushand
clean the tank. Replace hydraulic oil immediately if it is
contaminated or looks “milky”. See pages 38 - 39
for hydraulic oil requirements.
• If the Bandit’s hydraulic system is kept clean and
the hydraulic pressures are not increased beyond the
specifiedPSI(bar),themaximumuseandlifeshould
be received from the Bandit grinder hydraulic system.
• If a problem is encountered, it will more than likely
be located in the relief valve or something as simple
asbeltsorclutchslipping,checkthesefirst.
• Pressure gauge should be safely stored and
installed only when checking pressure. Follow above
instructions or this will cause unwarranted damage to
the hydraulic components.
• Never close the ball valves on the hydraulic
tank suction ports (if equipped) while the machine
is running, this will ruin the hydraulic pump and
components.
•
Somecomponentmanufacturersrequiredifferent
specific hydraulic lubrication, such as gear boxes,
undercarriage drives, etc. Refer to their manuals and
maintenance section of this manual.
HYDRAULICS
HYDRAULICS
THE BANDIT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
• After you have operated a new machine for
approximately an hour shut down the machine and
recheckallhydraulicfittingsfortightnessandleaks.
• Avoid hydraulic pump cavitation. Low oil levels
or cold start-ups will cause the hydraulic pump to
cavitate. Cavitation will ruin the pump and possibly
the entire hydraulic system. Cavitation only has to
happen once. This will start the pump on its way to
ruin. Allow hydraulic system to turn slowly for several
minutes in cold weather in order for hydraulic system
to warm up. Cavitation is not covered under warranty.
• Do not increase the relief valve settings beyond
specified PSI (bar). This will cause damage to
hydraulic components. Do not set any other hydraulic
componentpastit’sspecifiedpressureorthiswill
cause damage to the hydraulic components.
• Keep hydraulic oil clean. Dirty oil will cause
excessive wear and loss of hydraulic power.
•
