Filling and Bleeding the Circuit
Hydraulic Hose Lines
SRP
SRP 3860
• Release locking screw (1).
• Set throttle lever (2) to «V».
• Pour in hydraulic fluid while continually changing the
throttle lever position. To ensure correct bleeding, at
times place the shaft vertically.
• Stop filling when
- a distinct «clicking»-noise is heard in the exciter
while shifting the lever
- you will no longer feel a cushion of air when
moving the throttle lever.
When filling, the circuit path is shortened.
• To check oil level, start engine and bring up to operating
speed.
• Move throttle lever several times backwards and for
wards between «V» and «R».
• The correct oil level should be somewhere in the area
shown (See Illus.); at this point the throttle lever must be
in the «V» position.
• If the level is too low, top up with hydraulic fluid; if too
high, drain off excess fluid.
• With the machine running and the throttle lever in the
«V» position, close locking screw (1).

The function of hydraulic hose lines must be tested at
regular intervals (minimum once a year) by an expert (with
a knowledge of hydraulics).
Hose lines must immediately be replaced in the following
instances:
• Damage to the outer layer to the inner lining (abrasion
marks, cracks, cuts, etc.).
• Brittleness of the outer layer (cracking of hose covering).
• Unnatural deformations of the hose line. This applies to
both a pressureless and pressurised condition (e.g. layer
separation, blister formation, crushed areas, kinks).
• Leaks.
• Damage or deformation of hose fittings (impaired sealing
function).
• Hose slips out of the fitting.
• Corrosion of fitting (degrading of function and strength).
• Improper installation.
• Use beyond the expiry date of max. 6 years.
