Checking Technical Condition Of Hydraulic Connections And Sockets; Replacement Of Hydraulic Conduits - PRONAR T286 Operator's Manual

SECTION 5
If leaks are visible at connections, tighten the connections.
If oil is found on hydraulic cylinder body, check origin of leak. Inspect seals when hydraulic
cylinder is completely extended. Minimum leaks are permissible with symptoms of
"sweating", however in the event of noticing leaks in the form of "droplets" stop using the
trailer until faults are remedied. If unreliability is evident in brake cylinders do NOT use trailer
with damaged system until faults are remedied.
Checking tightness:
5.4.3 CHECKING TECHNICAL CONDITION OF HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
AND SOCKETS.
Hydraulic connections and sockets designed for connection with second trailer must be in
good working condition and kept clean. Each time before connecting check if socket in tractor
or connection of second trailer are maintained in good working condition. Tractor and trailer
hydraulic systems are sensitive to the presence of permanent contamination, which may
cause damage to precision system components (contamination may cause scratching of
hydraulic valves, abrasion of piston surfaces etc.)
Inspection of hydraulic connections and sockets:
