Hydraulic System

Maintenance on the hydraulic system must be
carefully and regularly done. The hydraulic system
supports most of the functions of the A
F E body.
ULL JECT
As with all hydraulic systems, it may be necessary to
periodically check and adjust the pressure relief
settings. It may be that a major hydraulic component
has been changed, that the vehicle is not performing in
terms of payload, or that the vehicle has recently been
put into service and the system requires adjustment
following a run-in period.
Danger!
Always lock out and tag out the vehicle
(see Locking Out and Tagging Out the
Vehicle on page 26) when inspecting or
performing maintenance on the vehicle.
Danger!
Human skin can be easily penetrated by
high pressure oil (2000 psi and above).
Failure to take appropriate safety
precautions may result in serious injury or
death.
Danger!
Because of extreme overhead dangers,
equipment must be properly supported
when servicing sections on the hydraulic
system.

General Maintenance

To keep the hydraulic system efficient and reliable, the
following care must be taken:
 Every day, check that hydraulic lines and
connections are not leaking. Correct if necessary.
 Inspect the pump for leaks or unusual noise.
 When maintenance is carried out, protect all hoses,
fittings, pipes, or any other ingress points from dirt
that would eventually get into the oil. Plug hoses
that are not connected.
