Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system must be maintained on a
regular basis and kept in good operating condition
to avoid premature wear of moving parts, hoses,
x 4
and valves.
If you have never maintained a hydraulic system
before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you
read books, get formal training, or seek the help
of a qualified hydraulic service technician.
Hydraulic systems are highly pressurized
and hydraulic fluid is hot after use. Should
a leak or malfunction take place, any
maintenance to hydraulic lines and valves
should only occur when hydraulic pressure
has been relieved and fluid has cooled.
Checking Hydraulic Pressure
The hydraulic system pressure should not exceed
498 PSI. Use the following steps to check the sys-
tem pressure and adjust it as needed.
Item(s) Needed
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
Open-End Wrench 17, 27mm ......................1 Ea.
To check hydraulic pressure:
1.
Raise/lower headstock repeatedly for approx-
imately 10 minutes to warm up hydraulic fluid.
2.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Always wear safety gog-
gles when servicing the
hydraulic system.
