8.0 MAINTENANCE
AUTHORIZED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL MUST CARRY OUT ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.
ALL MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OPERATIONS MUST BE DONE WITH THE
MASTER SWITCH OFF. (IF EQUIPPED)
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS (REPAIRS) MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY
THE MANUFACTURER’S PERSONNEL ON THE PREMISES OF THE
MANUFACTURER OR BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL
UPON AUTHORIZATION BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Routine maintenance operations apply to the mechanical part of this appliance, the
only special prescriptions concern checking the oil level, the characteristics of the
fluid used (and possible replacement in the case of its deterioration).
It is a good rule to take note of maintenance work to help you remember all the
work carried out on the unit.
8.1 OIL LEVEL
Check the level of oil every month
through the oil fill cap hole on the top of the oil
tank. Visual inspection of the oil level should be approximately ½” below the top of
the tank.
Any topping off has to be done with the same type of and clean oil used in the filling
phase of the system and with the same procedures as regards cleaning the fluid.
It is advised to note the type of oil used on a card affixed onto the unit or on the last
few pages of this manual, containing pre-printed tables to be filled in.
If topping off turns out to be too frequent, check for leaks in the system.
8.2 CHANGING AND DISPOSING OF THE OIL
The oil will have to be changed periodically every 2000 operating hours or at
least once a year.
Changing the oil, and therefore disposing of it, will have to be done in conformity
with the law as hydraulic oil is considered special waste. Call authorized firms for
the disposal of special wastes.
DO NOT DISPERSE SPENT OIL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
Take care while handling oil, excessive or extended contact can cause irritation. In
this case, wash the area involved with plenty of water and soap or special detergent.
