Maintenance and Adjustment BODY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHART Preventive maintenance must be performed to ensure the safe and reliable operation of your unit. Use the chart below as a guideline for when essential items should checked and serviced. Severe use or adverse conditions may require more frequent maintenance.
Page 38
Maintenance and Adjustment BODY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHART *HOURS OF OPERATION COMPONENT/SYSTEM 1000 2000 CHECK/SERVICE cause damage to the pump shaft. Greasing is NOT required on wet spline PTOs such as the Chelsea 890/897 series. Lubricate as shown on Body Lube Grease Fittings Chart.
Maintenance and Adjustment PTO INSPECTION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Due to normal torsional vibrations of transmission mounted Power Take-Offs (PTOs), it is important that Service Technicians include the PTO/transmission interface in their standard inspection and maintenance schedules. If a PTO Inspection and Preventive Maintenance schedule is not followed, it is possible that the PTO mounting screws can come loose, resulting in transmission fluid leaks between the PTO and transmission and potential damage to the PTO or drive train 1.
Maintenance and Adjustment PACKER/EJECTOR CYLINDER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE It is critical to follow the guidelines of the Body Preventive Maintenance Chart and Body Lubrication Guide found in this section of this Service Manual and the Body Lubrication Guide decal on the unit. Failure to follow stated routine preventive maintenance can lead to premature cylinder failure that is not covered by your warranty.
Maintenance and Adjustment LUBRICATION GUIDE Use No. 1 pressure gun grease. Clean fittings before applying grease and always pump enough grease into joint to remove the old grease. Wipe off excess grease. For slide surfaces, use cloth or brush to coat. Lubricate moveable mechanical parts without fittings every 60 days with non-detergent engine oil.
Maintenance and Adjustment COLD WEATHER WARMUP PROCEDURE When ambient air temperature is cold (below 0 degrees F) PREPARING THE UNIT TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL Before checking the oil level or adding oil, make sure the unit is in the following position with all cylinders collapsed: Truck –...
Maintenance and Adjustment CHECK OIL LEVEL Check the hydraulic oil level (after warning up the oil) daily or every eight (8) hours, whichever comes first. Fill as necessary. Important: Contamination is a hydraulic system’s worst enemy. Do not let dirt enter the system. Use a clean rag and remove dirt or other contamination around any system component before you disconnect or remove it.
Maintenance and Adjustment DRAIN AND CLEAN THE HYDRAULIC OIL TANK Change the hydraulic oil at least annually or every 2000 hours of operating time, whichever comes first. Remember that almost all hydraulic system malfunctions can be traced to dirt in the fluid. When working with the hydraulic system, the hands, tools, working area and parts must be as clean as possible.
Maintenance and Adjustment DRAIN AND CLEAN THE HYDRAULIC OIL TANK (CONTINUED) NOTICE Before filling the tank be sure the funnel is clean and 200 mesh (or finer) screen is used to strain the hydraulic oil. 13.Fill tank with recommended oil, checking the sight gauge as you fill. Refer to Hydraulic Oil Specifications. 14.Check the entire system to make sure all connections are tight and no leaks are found.
Maintenance and Adjustment HYDRAULIC VALVES This body air controlled valve is located under the front street side of the body. It controls the ejector panel, tailgate raise/ lower and tailgate lock/unlock functions. See the Operation Manual for operational information. Figure 10. Body Valve Figure 11.
Maintenance and Adjustment TAILGATE VALVE (MANUAL CONTROL UNITS ONLY) The tailgate valve controls the packing mechanism through the complete cycle. With this control, the position of the blade and slide and their respective cylinders can be positioned as desired. Refer to the Operation Manual for operational instructions.
Maintenance and Adjustment PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS A. Unit Preparation Follow these unit preparation steps prior to making any pressure adjustments listed in this section. 1. Make sure area around unit is clear to enable arm and fork operation. 2. Place wheel chocks on both sides of driver side rear wheel. 3.
Page 49
Maintenance and Adjustment PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS (CONTINUED) E. Underbody Valve This 2-lever, sectioned valve is located under the front left (street side) of the body. It controls the ejector panel and tailgate raise/lower functions. 1. Follow the procedure on the previous page for warming the hydraulic oil. 2.
Maintenance and Adjustment SLIDE WEAR STRIPS Slide wear strips on a standard model are bronze and should be greased weekly by applying a line of grease on the exposed portion of the wear bar when extended, both inside and outside. Refer to Body Lubrication Guide and Lubrication Guide Decal on the unit.
Maintenance and Adjustment TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY 1. Cylinder leaking or worn 1. Check cylinders. 2. Oil bypassing valve plunger 2. Replace valve. Load will not hold 3. Port relief valve not holding 3. Remove and clean. 1. Defective pump 1.
Maintenance and Adjustment DOUBLE ACTING TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY Step 1 The cylinder is best serviced when mounted in the vertical position, for both disassembly and assembly. Also, it is best located where a hoist can be used directly overhead of the cylinder for removing the plungers if complete disassembly is required.
Page 53
Maintenance and Adjustment DOUBLE ACTING TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) Step 3 - Head Nuts After the set screws have been loosened, tap head nut gently around its circumference and unscrew the head nut with a chain wrench, or an equivalent tool. Do not use a chisel, punch or weld any studs to the head nut to remove.
Page 54
Maintenance and Adjustment DOUBLE ACTING TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) Step 5 – Packing To remove packing, pull the plunger up about one foot. Add tape to a clean area as shown in Figure 20. Push the plunger down past the packing then pull the plunger up. The packing will stick to the tape and be pulled out with the plunger.
Page 55
Maintenance and Adjustment DOUBLE ACTING TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) Step 7 - Retainer Rings Using a tool shown in Figure 22, insert the hooked end into the retaining ring slot. Force the retaining ring out of the groove and lift ring out of plunger. Figure 21.
Page 56
Maintenance and Adjustment DOUBLE ACTING TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) Step 9 – Second Retaining Ring and Plunger Stop Repeat Step 6 to remove second retaining ring. The plunger is now free to lift out. The plunger stop will come out with the plunger.
Page 57
Maintenance and Adjustment DOUBLE ACTING TELESCOPIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) Step 10 - Setting Head Nuts Remove the small slug located opposite the set screw. Using an allen wrench (Figure 17), tighten the head-nut down until the hex wrench bottoms out on the top of the plunger. Remove the hex wrench and replace the slug. Install the set screw using a nylon slug to protect the threads.
Maintenance and Adjustment CLEAN AND INSPECT THE TAILGATE SEAL Periodically check the tailgate seal to make sure it mates properly with the body and inspect for possible wear, damage or leaking. Replace the seal as necessary. See the figure below. Figure 25.
