General Maintenance - SPX FLOW Infinity Series Operating Instructions Manual

System Evaluation
WARNING
:
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before performing maintenance or repair
procedures.
• Repairs and maintenance are to be performed in a dust-free area by a qualified technician.
The components of your hydraulic system — cylinders, pumps, hoses, and couplings — all must be:
• Rated for the same maximum operating pressure.
• Correctly connected.
• Compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
A system that does not meet these requirements can fail, possibly resulting in serious injury. If you are in doubt
about the components of your hydraulic system, contact Power Team Technical Support.
Inspection
Hand signed inspection record of the equipment. Before each use, the operator or other designated personnel
should visually inspect for the following conditions:
• Cracked or damaged cylinder.
• Excessive wear, bending, or damage.
• Leaking hydraulic fluid.
• Scored or damaged piston rod.
• Loose bolts or cap screws.
• Damaged or incorrectly assembled accessory equipment.
• Modified, welded, or altered equipment.
• Bent or damaged couplers or port threads.
Periodic cleaning
: Contamination of the hydraulic fluid could cause the valve to malfunction. Loss of the
WARNING
load or personal injury could result.
Establish a routine to keep the hydraulic system as free from debris as possible.
• Seal unused couplers with dust covers.
• Keep hose connections free of debris. Equipment attached to a cylinder must be kept clean.
• Keep the breather-hole in the filler cap clean and unobstructed.
• Use only Power Team hydraulic fluid. Replace hydraulic fluid as recommended, or sooner if the fluid
becomes contaminated. Never exceed 300 hours of use between fluid changes.
Hydraulic Fluid Level
1� Check the fluid level in the reservoir after each 10 hours of use. Proper fluid level is indicated by the "fill line"
when all wrenches are retracted. This is typically 44.5–50.8 mm (1.75–2.00 in.) from the top of fill hole.
2� Drain, flush, and refill the reservoir with approved, high-grade hydraulic fluid after approximately every 300
hours of use. The frequency of fluid changes will depend upon the general working conditions, severity of
use, and overall cleanliness and care given the pump. Fluid should be changed more frequently when the
system is not operated regularly indoors.
