environment shorter interval may be required.
The following items should only be performed by a trained maintenance
expert.
z Replace hydraulic hoses.
z Replace chains and rollers.
z Replace cables and sheaves.
z Replace or rebuild air and hydraulic cylinders as required.
z Replace or rebuild pumps/motors as required.
z Check hydraulic and air cylinder rod and rod end (threads) for deformation or

Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in the system
must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a drop in pressure. All valve,
pump and hose connections should be sealed and/or capped until just prior to use. Air
hoses can be used to clean fittings and other components. However, the air supply must be
filtered and dry to prevent contamination. NOTE: Contamination is the most frequent cause
of malfunction or hydraulic equipment.
