Many types of compatible hydraulic oil are available through your local dealer/distributor. As an original equipment manufacturer, RGC uses a Grade ISO VG 32 hydraulic oil. Extreme weather conditions or operating environments may require using a different viscosity oil or fluid type than what is provided.
2.3 NAMEPLATE AND SERIAL NUMBER TAG It is important to identify your HydraPak completely and accurately whenever ordering spare parts or requesting assistance in service. The HydraPak has a product nameplate that shows the model and serial numbers as shown in Figure 2-1. Record the model and serial numbers for future reference.
3 OPERATION 3.1 BEFORE OPERATING THE HYDRAPAK WARNING: ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL SHALL OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT. A TRAINED PERSON IS ONE WHO HAS READ AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTANDS THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND RELATED EQUIPMENT MANUALS AND, THROUGH TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, HAS SHOWN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE SAFE OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES.
Before making any hydraulic connections, inspect all hydraulic lines, fittings and hoses for leaks and risks of rupture as follows: Inspect each hydraulic line, fitting, and hose for breaks, cracks, worn spots, bulges, chemical attack, kinks or any other damage. Never try to stop any detected leak with any body parts. Do not put your face close to suspected leaks.
Begin operating each tool being used by turning the flow control knob that is directly above the pressure and tank ports to which that tool is connected to its fully ON position. No tool will operate properly if its flow control knob is not fully turned on.
4 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 4.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE RULES Proper maintenance of the HydraPak and related hydraulic equipment consists of adhering to all the guidelines given in this chapter and in the Pre-Operative Checklist in the front of this manual. Proper maintenance is required to maintain the system in good condition, which is defined as each part being free of damage or functional defects.
4.3 ELECTRICAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE The electrical system requires the following visual inspections before each use of the HydraPak: Fuses must be secured in their holders. All terminal connections must be intact. Insure that battery terminal bolts/nuts are tight. Battery fluid level should be full to within 1/8 inch from bottom of vent well neck.
