ME3 Maintenance - Hydraulic Oil Servicing
SERVICING THE HYDRAULIC OIL:
1) Open the Hydraulic tank filler cap (A).
2) Unscrew and remove the Hydraulic tank drain plug from the bottom of
the tank. Be prepared to capture nearly 15 gallons of fluid while the
reservoir tank drains.
3) Spin off the return filter cartridge (B) and inspect for metal shavings
and/or unusual debris.
5) Unscrew and remove the suction strainer (C) from the front of the tank
and replace.
6) Apply pipe thread tape and an appropriate amount of thread sealant to
the threads of the suction strainer (C) and any other pipe threads in
this assembly. The hydraulic JIC compression type connections do
not require thread tape or sealant.
7) Tighten all the components of the suction strainer (C) and related
hydraulic connections and leak test them before filling the tank
completely with hydraulic oil.
8) Reassemble the return filter assembly in reverse of the disassembly
instructions being careful to not drop the filter cup O-ring (B) into the
tank while replacing the filter cup (A) into the return filter base.
9) Spin on a new filter cartridge (B).
10) Fill the tank using high quality Conoco MV32 or equivalent hydraulic
oil. The maximum capacity of the hydraulic tank is 15 gallons, but the
actual fill level of hydraulic oil is between 12 and 13 gallons. Do not fill
the tank higher than the 2” above the bottom of the filler cap filter.
(A)
The melter operates at elevated temperatures
which can cause burns. Be sure the hydraulic
oil is cool before performing maintenance.
WARNING
Using oil that does not meet CIMLINE
hydraulic oil specification is cause for a
voided warranty.
