(Routine Preventative Maintenance, continued)
Use only approved fluid, Chevron AW-MV, Texaco Z-36, or
equivalent.
Contaminants in the hydraulic oil will greatly accelerate wear on
expensive components of the hydraulic system (cylinder, pump,
valves, etc.). At least once per year or every 4,000 operating
hours, whichever comes first, the air vent filler/breather should
be cleaned. In particularly dirty or windy environments, this
cleaning should be more frequent. Fluid should appear a normal
motor oil color. If it is very dark in color, it may be contaminated
or deteriorated. There are hydraulic oil testing services that can
determine whether your fluid is in good condition. Using such a
service each time the filler/breather is cleaned / replaced is a
wise preventative measure.
Check oil temperature after the compactor has been operated for
a couple of hours of its normal daily shift. If you think the oil is
becoming too hot, consult competent service personnel to verify
temperature; it should not regularly exceed 150°.

Routine maintenance of mechanical parts of the compactor
consists primarily of checking for breakage, lubrication, and
tightness of fasteners.
Lubricate and check the security of the pins on the cylinder clevis
ends. In order to gain access to the cylinder pins, the compactor
must be disabled as expl

cover of the compactor removed. Check the fully-extended
cylinder rods to ensure there are no nicks or scratches (these will
wear on seal surfaces, causing leaks and possible contamination
of the hydraulic fluid).
