6.2 Hydraulic Oil Level
6.2.1 Oil Level for MP‐0130 Manual Pump Kits
The filler hole on the hydraulic oil reservoir is also used to check the level. Position the pump
with the pump head facing downwards and remove the filler plug. The oil level is correct when
the oil reaches the bottom edge of the filler hole. Refit the filler plug and tightened to a
maximum torque of 175in‐lbs [20Nm].
6.2.2 Oil Level for MP‐6809 Manual Pump Kits
The filler hole on the hydraulic oil reservoir is also used to check the level. The oil level is
correct when the oil reaches the bottom edge of the filler hole. Refit the filler plug and
tightened by hand until cap stops.
6.2.3 Oil Level for Air‐Driven Pump Kits
Place the pump kit on a flat level surface and remove the grey shipping plug or the red plastic
reservoir cap. The oil level is correct when the oil is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) below the
top of the reservoir. A flashlight may be helpful to see the oil level. Refit the grey shipping plug
or the red plastic reservoir cap.
6.3 Maintenance
Lubricate the moving parts on the manual pump.
Check the air filter on the air‐driven pump kit for excessive dirt and debris buildup.
Examine the pump’s hydraulic pressure gage for damage. In the absence of a site’s preventative
maintenance schedule, Riverhawk recommends a gage calibration every two years.
Check the hydraulic ports for grit, dirt, and other debris. Clean with a brush and, if necessary,
with a volatile solvent such as acetone. Do not force the debris deeper into the port.
Check the hydraulic hose for any damage including bent hose ends and split outer lining. If any
damage is found, replace the hose immediately by contacting the Riverhawk Company. Place
the plastic end caps on the hose ends to protect the hose ends from damage.
