– Purge entrapped air from the hydraulic
system. Entrapped air in the hydraulic
system can cause erratic and unexpected
movements.
– Oil mist in the work area or oil leaking
onto floors and walkways will cause a
serious risk of slipping. Clean up all spills
and repair leaks immediately.
– Hydraulic oil temperature may be
extremely high;
– A mixture of air and oil mist may explode
at higher temperatures. Hydraulic oil
spilled on hot machine surfaces may start
a fire.
– Pressurized hydraulic hoses should not be
handled with bare hands since
high-pressure leaks may easily penetrate
the skin. Hydraulic fluid pressure in the
hoses may exceed 3000 PSI/210
bar/21MPa.
Hydraulic hoses are subject to wear and tear.
Pressurized hoses tend to straighten up, bend or
twist due to reaction forces. Replace all weakened
or deteriorated hoses promptly. Keep hoses
properly clamped and secured to help prevent being
whipped by broken hoses.
– Avoid letting dirt and other impurities into
the system while doing maintenance work.
Use lint free cloths for cleaning the
hydraulic components system.
– When changing a cylinder, or other
hydraulic device, plug all open ports and
hose ends. Catch spilled oil in a suitable
storage device and avoid introducing dirt
into the system. Dispose of all waste fluids
as presented by law.
– Tighten disconnected pipe and hose
couplings immediately after reinstallation.
Before finishing the work, check all parts
and connections that have been serviced or
repaired.
– Before starting up the pumps, make sure
that maintenance work is completely
finished in all work areas. When starting
up the pumps, stay at a distance from the
areas which were repaired.
– Before opening the main valves, make
sure that there is no one working between
any parts of the machine, since
pressurization of the system may cause
machine motion.
– Once the system is in the pressurized state,
test repaired system for proper operation
before putting system back into
production.
Check the system for possible leaks after repair.
Leaking fittings must not be tightened when under
pressure. To seal threaded fittings, use appropriate
sealing rings or a sealing compound suitable for
hydraulics. Use a mirror, cardboard or other
appropriate techniques.
0.4.5 General Maintenance Work
The following are some of the do’s and don’ts to be
followed as part of normal Crushing Plant
procedures
– Do not perform any maintenance on
moving machinery. This includes such
items as adding lubricating oil or greasing
parts while the crusher is in operation.
WARNING
Elevated temperatures levels can be
hazardous and may cause severe burns.
Wait until machine cools down before doing
maintenance or repair.
WARNING
Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate
body tissue causing serious injury and
possible death. When troubleshooting a
hydraulic system for leaks, always use a
mirror, cardboard, wood or other appropriate
techniques as a detector. DO NOT USE
YOUR BARE HANDS. If you are injected
with hydraulic oil or any other fluid,
immediately seek treatment from a doctor
trained in the treatment of penetrating fluid
injuries.
NOTICE
Never adjust pressure relief valves higher
than settings specified.
