Compressor Hydraulic System Precautions
To avoid malfunction of the compressor hydraulic system, follow these steps whenever a
hydraulic component is removed from the system.
1
ALWAYS relieve internal hydraulic pressure before proceeding with a repair. Carefully
loosen a fitting and allow the pressure to bleed off.
2
NEVER allow foreign matter (dirt, water, metal particles, etc.) to enter the system through the
open connections. Cap or plug any openings. If dirt does get in, a filter change is required
after 50 hours of operation.
3
ALWAYS check for high pressure leaks after completing a repair. A high pressure leak is
hazardous and must be repaired.
