7 Maintenance
The components of the Hydro Magnet are basically
maintenance free. The Hydro Magnet contains no parts
that can be replaced or repaired by the user.
Nevertheless, you must perform the following mainte-
nance procedures regularly to ensure reliable operation.
We recommend that you document maintenance proce-
dures in a maintenance booklet.
You may only perform the maintenance procedures de-
scribed in this manual. Damage and defects must be
remedied immediately by authorized and qualified per-
sonnel from Epiroc.
Only use the Hydro Magnet again after all damage and
defects have been repaired. Repairs may only be carried
out by authorized and trained personnel from Epiroc.
DANGER Danger of electric shock
Working on a powered Hydro Magnet can cause a lethal
electric shock.
u Perform visual control and maintenance work on a
Hydro Magnet only in the turned-off and de-ener-
gized state.
u Secure the carrier against unintentional starting (for
example by removing the ignition key and keeping it
safe).
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. If hydraulic
connections come loose, hydraulic oil will squirt out un-
der high pressure. Hydraulic oil squirting out can lead to
serious injury.
u Immediately switch off the hydraulic attachment and
the carrier if you detect any leaks in the hydraulic cir-
cuits.
u Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter De-
pressurising the hydraulic system).
u Repair any leaks before operating the hydraulic at-
tachment again.
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Hydraulic
oil escaping out can lead to serious injury.
u Immediately switch off the hydraulic attachment and
the carrier if you detect any leaks in the hydraulic cir-
cuits.
u Do not inspect for possible leaks with your fingers or
other parts of the body, but use a piece of cardboard
instead, holding it up to the suspected leakage site.
u Examine the cardboard for traces of liquid.
u Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter De-
pressurising the hydraulic system).
u Repair any leaks before operating the hydraulic at-
tachment again.
WARNING Hot parts
Parts of the Hydro Magnet, hoses, pipes and fittings be-
come very hot during operation. Touching them may
lead to burns.
u Never touch hot parts.
u If you have to carry out activities where you have to
touch the parts, wait for them to cool down first.
WARNING Accidental start
If the hydraulic attachment is started by accident this
may lead to serious injury.
u Follow the instructions in the Operating Instructions
of the carrier to prevent the hydraulic attachment
starting by accident.
WARNING Unexpected movement
Sudden movements of the carrier may cause serious in-
jury.
u Secure the carrier such that it cannot move unex-
pectedly.
u Observe the carrier manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTICE Environmental damage due to hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil is environmentally harmful and must not
penetrate the ground or enter the water table or water
