3. Loosen bleeder plug located at top of hydraulic cylinder
on side of vibrator (Figure 37). Air remaining in the
circuit will be forced out of the bleeder plug. Once all
air has been purged from the hydraulic system, tighten
bleeder plug securely

MAINTENANCE
BaTTeRY mainTenanCe (Option)
Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life of the
battery and adds to maintenance cost. When handling the
battery do the following:
„ The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, be careful
not to let the battery electrolyte come in contact with your
body or clothing.
„ Always check the battery terminals periodically to ensure
that they are in good condition.
„ Always wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the
battery contains sulfuric acid which burns skin and eats
through clothing. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with
water and contact a doctor immediately.
„ Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery
terminals.
„ Always check battery for cracks or any other damage.
If white pattern appears inside the battery or paste has
accumulated at the bottom, replace the battery.
„ If the compactor will not be in operation for a long period
of time, store in cool dry place and check the battery
charge level every month to maintain the performance
of the battery.
„ Check the battery regularly and make sure that each
electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well (Figure 38).
If necessary add only distilled water in a well-ventilated area.
