8.0 Maintenance and Storage
Carry out basic maintenance on a regular basis to keep the jacking system operating in a trouble-free
manner. Maintenance intervals are determined by the frequency of use of the system and the operating
conditions on site.
•
Keep the unit clean. Particularly the saddle and load-lock / slip-lock extension pieces (if used).
All saddle receiver holes should be blown out, with compressed air. Then lightly lubricate the saddle
pins and saddle receiver holes. Lubricate the handle positioning latch pins and holes (18).
•
The oil level in the reservoir
should not
be allowed to drop below the centre of the upper oil level
indicator sight-glass (16). (Cylinder fully retracted)
ALWAYS
check the oil level with the lifting cylinder in the fully retracted position to ensure the correct
oil level is displayed. Keep the oil reservoir topped-up with high grade ISO46 hydraulic oil as per
section 5.3.
If the oil level does fall below the lower oil level indicator (at any time), air could
be drawn into the pump, causing erratic operation and possible damage. To top
up hydraulic oil, remove the top cover (13) and fill via the orange filler breather
cap (9). (
See Section 5.3
)
Oil should be replaced after approximately 500 working hours, or more frequently in dusty
conditions. To replace the oil, disconnect from the air supply, remove the oil drain plug (29) on the
bottom of the reservoir and drain the used oil into a suitable container. Replace the oil drain plug
(29) and refill with high grade ISO46 hydraulic oil as per section 5.3. Bleed trapped air from the
system if necessary (
See section 5.8
).
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS
dispose of used hydraulic oil in a responsible manner, in accordance with
local regulations.
•
Monitor the air system
s’ lubricator oil level (27). Maintain the level close to the maximum mark
shown, using
ISO VG 32 (SAE10) Detergent Oil
ONLY
. Adjust the oil delivery to between 1 & 2
drops per minute during the lifting cycle.
Top-up the air lubricating oil as required, via the air lubricator filler plug (25).
See section 5.4.
DO NOT
use hydraulic oil in the air lubricator. Using the incorrect grade of airline
oil may void your warranty.
