Maintenance - Greenlee Fairmont HG3505A Instruction Manual

Maintenance

The service life of the unit will be increased by proper
care and maintenance. The preventative maintenance
steps below are recommended.
Stop engine before filling fuel tank.
Do not fill fuel tank when engine is
hot. Do not fill fuel tank near an open
flame, sparks, or when smoking.
Fuel is flammable and explosive and,
if ignited, will result in severe injury
or death.
Do not run the power unit engine in a confined
area. Engine exhaust fumes are toxic. If inhaled,
exhaust fumes can cause injury or death.
Do not disconnect tool, hoses, or fittings while
the power unit is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Exposure to hot hydraulic fluid can cause
serious burns.
Inspect the hydraulic hoses and couplings
every operating day. Repair or replace if leakage,
cracking, wear, or damage is evident. Damaged
hoses or couplings can fail, resulting in injury or
property damage.

Every Operating Day
Inspect hoses and fittings for signs of leaks, cracks,
wear, or damage and replace if necessary. Check
engine oil level. Check reservoir oil level.
Every Month
Perform a detailed inspection of hoses and fittings and
replace if necessary.
Every Year
Drain and clean out hydraulic system. Refill with new oil,
and clean the hydraulic filter. This procedure should be
done more often if unit is operated under severe condi-
tions (i.e., continuous operation, dusty or damp environ-
ment, etc.).
Keeping fluid in the system clean will extend the service
life of the unit. If oil becomes dark or milky-looking, drain
and clean hydraulic system as soon as possible. See
procedure below.
Engine service and maintenance should be performed
according to the engine manufacturer's recommenda-
tion. See Kawasaki Engine Service Manual.
Always install dust case over hydraulic ports when unit
is disconnected, to prevent contamination of oil.
Disassembly procedures should be done only when
required to repair improperly operating or damaged unit.
If unit does not operate properly, check Troubleshooting
chart before attempting an overhaul.
