MAINTENANCE

The liquid end of the pump should also be inspected for leakage. These observations should be made regularly.
The hydraulic fluid should be drained and replaced twice a year, using the drain plug (FIG. #0130) at the back of
the pump. This change can be schedule with the normal factory maintenance at seasonal periods.
