7.0 MAINTENANCE
WARNING : The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning and servicing the tilting braising pan.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the
disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit before
performing any maintenance.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system has been adjusted and tested at the factory and no further
adjustment should be needed. If the unit fails to operate properly, all service work must
be performed by a qualified service agent.
MAINTENANCE
1. Hot oil in the Hydraulic System is one of the primary causes of poor operation.
When the tilt system is not in use turn power switch off.
2. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear and aging.
3. Check that fluid levels are kept full.
4. To replace oil, fill through filler breather.
5. Use proper oil as specified by factory. TYPE: AWH32 or equivalent.
6. Set up regular schedule for checking the oil temperature, hydraulic hoses and
keeping the equipment clean. A thick layer of dirt acts as an insulation and prevents
the hydraulic system from cooling properly.
7. Check the cleanliness of the oil strainer inside the reservoir once per year. This item
can be washed in clean Varsol.
8. Change the breather filter once per year.
9. Change the oil once every two years.
