Hydraulic Fluid; Hydraulic Hoses - Tennant ATLV 4300 Service Manual

HYDRAULIC FLUID

The quality and condition of the hydraulic fluid
plays a very important role in how well the
machine operates. TENNANT's hydraulic fluid is
specially selected to meet the needs of TENNANT
machines.
TENNANT's hydraulic fluids provide a longer life
for the hydraulic components. There are two
TENNANT fluids available for different
temperature ranges:
TENNANT part no.
65869
65870
The higher temperature fluid has a higher
viscosity and should not be used at the lower
temperatures. Damage to the hydraulic pumps
may occur because of improper lubrication.
The lower temperature fluid is a thinner fluid for
colder temperatures.
If a locally-available hydraulic fluid is used, make
sure the specifications match TENNANT hydraulic
fluid specifications. Using substitute fluids can
cause premature failure of hydraulic components.
ATTENTION! Hydraulic components
depend on system hydraulic fluid for
internal lubrication. Malfunctions,
accelerated wear, and damage will result
if dirt or other contaminants enter the
hydraulic system.

HYDRAULIC HOSES

Check the hydraulic hoses every 200 hours of
operation for wear or damage.
Fluid escaping at high pressure from a very small
hole can be almost invisible, and can cause
serious injuries.
See a doctor at once if injury results from
escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment
is not given immediately.
FOR SAFETY: When Servicing Machine,
Use Cardboard To Locate Leaking
Hydraulic Fluid Under Pressure.
If you discover a fluid leak, contact your
mechanic/supervisor.
