GENERAL MAINTENANCE
In order to keep the hydraulic system efficient and reliable, the following care must be
taken:
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM GENERAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1)
For new vehicle, change the return filter element after 50 hours of use, and twice a
year afterwards (See
section 1.14.7
“Filter replacement procedure”).
2)
Clean the strainer inside the tank after the first 50 hours of use, and once a year
afterwards. (See
section 1.14.8
“Strainer cleaning procedure”).
3)
Hydraulic oil must be replaced at least once a year or when contaminated.
(See
section 1.14.6
“Hydraulic oil replacement procedure”).
4)
When maintenance is carried out, protect all hoses, fittings and pipes or any other
holes from dirt that would eventually get into the oil. Use plugs to block hoses that
are not connected.
5)
Monthly inspect and adjust (If necessary) the oil pressure of the hydraulic system.
(See
section 1.15
“Hydraulic pressure adjustment).
6)
On a daily basis, inspect the hydraulic lines and connections for leaks, and correct
if necessary;
7)
Inspect the pump for leaks or unusual noise;
8)
The ball valve on the hydraulic tank must be completely open before engaging the
pump or starting the engine (See
section 1.9
“Prior to Start up”).
Labrie Equipment Ltd. requires that the
hydraulic fluid and return oil filter be changed
and the strainer cleaned before changing
the hydraulic pump.
Manufacturer’s warranty on hydraulic
pumps provided or sold by Labrie Equipment
Ltd. could be declared void if the hydraulic
fluid and return oil filter are not changed
and if the strainer is not cleaned prior to
replacing the hydraulic pump.
Therefore, it is mandatory to change the
return oil filter and clean the strainer after
the first 50 hours of use and then once a
year. The hydraulic fluid must be changed
annually. Hydraulic fluid contamination can
cause severe damage to the hydraulic
components.
It is recommended to have the hydraulic
fluid tested and analyzed by a lab to prevent
hydraulic system or pump breakdown. This
will also optimize the hydraulic fluid change
frequency. Labrie trucks are now equipped
with an “oil sampler coupler”. See section
2.1.6 of the Lubrication manual.
Note that proofs of maintenance and/or
fluid samples could be requested when
filing warranty claims concerning the
hydraulic system or pump.
