§pimo ‘HU User Manual Dimo AS order no:25.6071.6009 4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE 4.1 Safety Precautions All personnel that shall perform maintenance or installation of the equipment must have Knowledge to the system's limitations and to the used components. Experience with maintaining, hydraulic systems are also required to maintain a clean hydraulic system. Maintain oil level at all times. The oil should be checked after the first 100 hours for verification, of cleanness. The oil test result should as a minimum be according to ISO 4406 class 18/14. The result should normally be according to ISO 4406 class 16/13. Once a year an oil sample should be analysed to find out when to change the oil in the reservoir. It is difficult to set a time interval for changing the oil, the interval depends on the application and on the operation environment. An oil sample can be taken from the reservoir, and be compared with a new and fresh oil sample. If the oil smells or look different from the new oil, it may be time to change the oil. Factors that affects the wear of the oil can be dirt, water in the oil or if the oil has been overheated. 4.2 Procedure for adding oil to the reservoir Use recommended hydraulic oil only. 1. Stop the HPU. 2. When refilling the reservoir, make sure to use the same type of oil that is present in the reservoir. 3. Pour the new oil from a clean container, (oil from an oil drum is not clean enough) through the return filter(not the breather/filler-cap). Do not remove the filter element when filling. 4, Ifthe reservoir is filled in another way, the oil is to be filtrated thoroughly by using a filter cart before entering the reservoir. (10 micron absolute, or better) 43 Service Change the filter elements as indicated on the visual indicators supplied with the filters. Filters must be checked at normal operating temperature (approx. 50°C). Filters with "pop-up" indicators may sometimes indicate clogged elements. Reset the indicator at normal operating temperature, and check if this is correct. ‘Inspect filter elements that have been removed from the system for signals of failure which may indicate that the service interval should be shortened, and for impend. system problems. Always keep the supply of fresh fluid covered tightly, © Use clean containers, hoses, and funnels when filling the reservoir. Use of a filter cart when adding oil is highly recommended. 5 cant Hs ara SG07 T6000
