2.6 Operation
2.6.1 Operation of Folding Hatch Covers

The folding panel pairs are folded by means of hydraulic cylinders, located at the end hinge
arms on the transversal end coaming.
Guidance of the folding hatch cover panels during operation is arranged by means of double
flanged wheels fitted on the starboard side longitudinal coaming. Plain wheels fitted on the
port side of the covers run on similar guide bars and allow for coaming movement.
Vertical forces from the hatch covers when at sea are transmitted to the coaming by a
sufficient number of support pads.
Longitudinal and transversal forces are taken on both sides through the reinforced coaming
top.
The control stands are located on the longitudinal coaming on the starboard side.
2.6.2 Operating Time

Opening time / closing time for each folding pairs (excluding time for operation of manual
cleats) is approximately 2.5 / 2.0 minutes.
Any two panel pairs can be operated at a time.
The operator can control the speed of the hatch cover by varying the stroke of the control
valve lever.
Operating times are based on pipe dimensions and hydraulic oil viscosity according to
MacGregor's recommendations and are valid at an ambient temperature of 20°C.
Operation times are increased at lower temperatures.
2.6.3 Partial Opening

All folding cover ends can be opened individually.
2.6.4 Emergency Operation

A portable auxiliary pump unit is provided for emergency operation of the folding hatch covers.
See the operation instructions in chapter 3.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
2.7 Fittings
2.7.1 Cleats and Lockings

The function of the quick-acting cleats & hold-down devices is to prevent the hatch cover
panels from being lifted up even in a rough seaways and thus the condition of the cleats has a
direct effect on the safety of the vessel.
The hatch covers are secured to the coaming by quick-acting cleats.
Hatch 3 (ballast water hold) is fitted with heavy duty cleats and hold-down devices.
The covers are secured in the stowed position by automatically engaged, manually released
locking devices.
2.7.2 Bearing Pads

The function of hatch cover bearing pads of MacGregor FlexiPad type is to transmit the
vertical forces from the cover into the coaming structure. The design of the bearing pads
allows for the continuous dynamic movement between the hatch covers and the coaming. The
bearing pads also maintain the correct height position of the hatch cover and thus enable a
proper functioning of the seals and the cleats / hold-downs.
The pads are mounted on top of the coaming by stainless steel stud bolts.
2.7.3 Ventilators
Four wall ventilators are arranged at the end plates of the panels.
The wall ventilators must be opened during water ballasting / de-ballasting.
2.7.4 Gas Sampling Plugs

Gas sampling plugs are arranged at each hatch cover side.
2.7.5 Lifting Eye Plates

Lifting eye plates are arranged for each panel.
2.7.6 Air Breathers and Sounding Heads

Wall ventilators of floodable hold are used as air breathers.
Sounding head for the floodable hold is arranged.
2.7.7 Longitudinal Stoppers

The longitudinal stoppers / locators are of replaceable type provided with shim plates for
adjustment after wear.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
2.7.8 Grain Feeder Hatches

Two 700 mm diameter grain / cement hatches are arranged for each hatch.
2.8 Drain Valves

At rough sea the ship hull flexes generating movement between the
hatch cover panels and the coaming. This might cause leakage in the
hatch cover sealing system. Leak water passing the seals is captured by
the drain channels and the water is lead to drain pipes on the coaming.
Non-return drain valves are installed to the drain pipes to allow water to
drain out onto the deck but to stop water from the deck entering the
cargo hold.
To prevent the cargo or the ballast water from leaking out the cargo hold
the drain valves must be closed with shut-off caps. Normally the valves
are kept open (i.e. caps off).

covers must remain closed with the cleats in locked position.
The access of unauthorised persons to the stowing room of the hatch covers
must be prevented by suitable means.
To ensure trouble-free functioning of the equipment, the operation should only
be entrusted to persons properly qualified for this task.
No one should be permitted to operate the hatch covers until they have
received such training and become fully acquainted with the operating and
maintenance instructions in this manual.
It is important to make sure that there are no persons and no loose gear on
the panel, which could fall down during operation.

There must be a good view over the whole operation area from the control
stand.
The equipment must always be operated with great care. If anything
unexpected occurs, the operation must be stopped immediately.
During operation of the hatch covers there must be another person observing
the operation from the opposite side and being prepared to stop the operation
of the hatch covers in case of an equipment malfunction or an emergency.
With the ship in heeled or trimmed condition, the operation must be carried out
most carefully. The max. allowed values are given in chapter 2.
Operating speed must be reduced, when the cover is approaching the open
position stoppers in order to avoid impact damage. Also the closing of the
cover shall be initiated at slow speed.
Stanchions / detachable railings must always be installed to the place
(coaming and panel edges) when the hatch covers are in open-position for
longer periods or unattended or when working close to open hatches can not
be avoided.
Check the proper securing of the panels in stowed position.
If the hatch covers are stopped for any reason between the closed and open
position so that the standard locking equipment can not be used, the hatch
covers have to be locked e.g. with steel wires to avoid any uncontrolled
movement of the hatch cover panels.
All ventilators on covers must be opened for floodable hold during ballasting
or deballasting.
See chapter 1 for the safety precautions.

3.2.6 Quick-Acting Cleats & Hold-down devices

The hatch covers are secured to the coaming by manually operated
quick-acting cleats.
The cleat consists of an eye bolt and a cam which is turned with a lever
for producing the pulling force against the coaming. The length of the
cleat bolt is adjusted by a nut. The necessary resilience on the cleat is
produced by a rubber washer being compressed between steel
washers. The cleat must always be adjusted so that compression of
the rubber washer is approximately 1 mm when the cleat is closed in
order to prevent the cleat from unintentional opening. Note also that
overtightening the cleat increases the risk of damage when it is highly
stressed due to hatch cover movements in seaway.
Always check the condition of the rubber washers when opening the cleats.
Replace the washers when necessary.
When opened the cleats must be carefully put to "parking position" so they are
not damaged by the moving cover.

Following to be done if the cleat are difficult to set in case the hatch covers are
deformed upward due to thermal deformation by sunshine:
1. Cleat to be tighten from the ones on ship side to ship‘s centerline.
2. Spread the water to cover exposed part to cool down the hatch cover
panels till the cleat can be set. (If enough water can be prepared)
3. Operate the hydraulic cylinder to close direction to pull down the hatch
cover panels slightly and fasten the cleat during that operation (in case the
phases 1 and 2 are failed).

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The ballast water hatch (hatch 3) is secured to the coaming

with additional manually operated hold-down devices.
The locking / unlocking takes place by sliding the locking pin
through the link. The handle of the pin is turned to secure the
position of the pin. In the unlocked position the pin lies on the
holder.
NOTE: The hold-down devices and part of the quick-acting
cleats can be left opened if there are not water in the ballast
water hold. In the transversal coaming must be locked as
many cleats as the hatches 1, 2, 4 & 5 have in the
transversal coamings. In the longitudinal coaming at least Holder for pin
one cleat in every panel corner must be locked (i.e. two
cleats in every panel‘s side).
NOTE: If the covers are deformed by sunshine the hold-
downs can be difficult to lock. Spray the water to cool down the covers so that the hold-downs
can be locked.
Make sure that all cleats and hold-down devices are unlocked before
operating the covers.
The cleats and hold-down devices must always be in locked position when
the vessel is sailing.

4 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 General Instructions and Warnings

A systematic maintenance ensures trouble-free operation and extends the lifetime of the
components. Carry out the maintenance actions as described below.
The recommended replacement intervals and criteria of discard of the typical spare parts are
also presented in this chapter.
When replacing components, use only original MacGregor spare parts for compatibility,
lifetime and safety reasons. Replacement parts of poor quality can risk the proper
functioning of the equipment and cause severe damage and injuries.
Note: No asbestos is used in any of MacGregor products.
For the spare parts identification see chapter 5.

For an inspection of hatch cover equipment and for assistance in more

complicated maintenance and repair work, contact MacGregor service, see
chapter 9.
Maintenance and repair work can be dangerous unless caution is observed.

Only authorised and fully trained personnel is allowed to carry out
maintenance of the hatch cover equipment. Everybody involved in
maintenance work should understand the possible hazards, and use safe
working methods. Ensure you understand corresponding instructions and
follow them.
The maintenance personnel must always use the required safety equipment,
such as safety helmets, protective overalls, protective footwear, protective
gloves, hearing protectors, eye protectors, and other required protective
equipment.
Before any maintenance actions make sure that the equipment can not be
operated by other parties causing safety hazards. Switch off the electrical
power and fit "DANGER DO NOT START" or corresponding warning sign to
main switch.
The high-pressure oil spray can cause serious injury. Pressure in the hydraulic
system may exist even when the hydraulic pump unit and the electrical power
supply are switched off. The oil pressure must be released in a controlled way
before maintenance of any part of the hydraulic system or hydraulically
operated equipment.
After an operation the temperature of the hydraulic and electric components
may be high. Be careful of hot surfaces. A hot surface can cause injury. Do not
touch. Let the components cool down before taking any maintenance actions
of these components.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
High voltage may exist in the hydraulic pump unit and the electrical
equipment. The electrical power must be switched off when working on the
electrical components. All testing requiring a connected power supply must be
done by qualified personnel only.
Always keep a fire extinguisher to hand, and know how to use it. Inspect and
service the extinguisher at regular intervals and according to local regulations.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
4.2 Hatch Cover Seals

The hatch covers are equipped with FlexSeals.
The required maintenance actions are given in the table below.
Maintenance action Interval Remarks

Check the seals for wear and mechanical damage. 1 month See note 1) below
Check the seals for shape and elasticity.
Lubrication of seals: apply a thin layer of Silicon 1 month See note 2) below
Grease onto the seal sliding surface.
Make a tightness test 1 year See note 3) below
Notes:
1) Replace the damaged seals immediately (before next voyage), see repair instructions
below.
Ageing of rubber material has an effect on the mechanical strength and elasticity of the seals.
Replace the seals when the permanent set is greater than 5 mm. A tightness test is
recommended as the change of the seal geometry might be difficult to verify.
New seal Permanent set (x) of an old seal
When replacing the seals acting against coaming, check / repair the hatch cover bearing pads
too. Worn bearing pads cause over-compression of the seals resulting in shortened lifetime of
the seals.
2) For smooth sliding against the compression bars, the end seals and the corner seals at the
hinge / split joints should be applied with Silicon Grease at regular intervals.
3) Make a tightness test annually and always after repair or replacement of the seals to check
the weathertightness of the sealing system.
Two widely used methods are a hose test and an ultrasonic tightness test. The following
parameters can be used for a hose test: water pressure 2 bar, nozzle size 15 - 18 mm,
spraying distance 1 - 1.5 m. For a professional inspection of hatch cover weathertightness,
contact MacGregor service. A number of MacGregor inspectors have been certificated by a

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
classification society for ultrasonic tightness testing of hatch covers (the classification society
approval in accordance with IACS UR Z17).
MacGregor SHERLOG, a type approved ultrasonic testing equipment, is also available

through MacGregor service.
4.2.1 Hatch Cover Seal Gluing Instructions

The following instructions apply when replacing hatch cover seals:
Glues and thinners are flammable. When handling glues and thinners
eliminate all sources of ignition.
Do not inhale the vapours of glues and thinners. Avoid skin contact. Wear
protective clothing and eye protectors. Ensure good ventilation.
• Use only original MacGregor spare part seals and glues to guarantee original
performance and compatibility.
• All the surfaces to be glued must be clean. A fresh cut seal surface gives the best
result.
• Cut the ends of the seal straight: use a mitre box and a sharp cutting blade or a
special cutting tool available at MacGregor. Water can be used as cutting lubricant.
• Use ready made corner pieces only.
• The butt joints must be glued first, then install the seal into the steel holder.
Gluing Seal to Seal (Butt Joint)

• Use MCG-Glue (a bottle of 20 g) - consumption approx. 2 g per joint.
• Apply glue to one surface only.
• Align the seal ends of the joint accurately. A gap or a step on the seal surface must
be ground smooth to avoid leakage.
• Curing time:
handling strength - 10 seconds
50% of final strength - 1 minute
final strength - 12 hours
Gluing Seal to Holder (Steel Channel)

• Use MacGregor Gluetite (a container of 5 litres) - consumption approx. 0.2 litres per
meter.
• Straight pieces must be cut to nominal length +1%.
• Remove the damaged seal from the holder.
• Clean the holder, or remove rust and paint the holder before gluing.
• Apply glue to the bottom of the holder and to the back side of the seal. Wait until the
glue is touch dry.
• First fit the ends and corners and then press the straight part into the holder
(simultaneously at several points of one straight section).
• For the installation use a sledge hammer and e.g. a L50x50 - 500 profile (to force the
seal into the holder). The seal must reach the bottom of the holder.
• Check the levelness of the seal’s contact surface and adjust where necessary.
• Curing time:
50% of final strength - 8 hours
final strength - 4 days.

4.3 Drain Valves

Drain valves are located close to hatch corners and the joints between the hatch cover panels.
The required maintenance actions are given in the table below:

Check that the drain pipes and drain valves are not 2 months
clogged and that the float (ball inside) moves freely.
Remove blocking items, if any.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
4.4 Bearing Pads

When replacing damaged bearing pads it's important to check / replace the seals as well: in
case the seal has lost its original elasticity (permanent set of 5 mm or more) there will not be
enough compression of the seal to achieve a proper weathertightness of the hatch covers.
After the repair of the bearing pads the weathertightness of the hatch covers shall be tested
with a hose test or using an ultrasonic testing equipment (e.g. MacGregor SHERLOG).
The bearing pads are of MacGregor Flexipad type.

Flexipad is a flexible, non-sliding bearing i.e. the movement
between the hatch covers and the coaming is allowed by the
elastic structure of the pad. Its sandwich structure is made of
alternating layers of steel and rubber, bonded together and
mounted on a steel plate. Flexipad is completely covered in
weatherproof rubber providing resistance to rust and corrosion.
Flexipads are mounted on top of the coaming by stainless steel

stud bolts. The pads act against the consoles under the hatch
covers.
Flexipads do not wear down as there is no sliding between

the pad and the coaming. Greasing of the pads and the
mating surfaces is forbidden.
For trouble-free function, please follow the instructions below:

• Do not walk, stand or place any objects on the bearing pads / mating surface.
• If contaminates are found on the pad / mating surface, the pad / mating surface shall
be cleaned by brushing it gently or by blowing with air. Do not scrape the surface. Do
not use kerosene, gasoline, acids or solvents of any kind.
• If welding or any other work is to be performed near the bearing pads, the pads shall
be covered to protect them against any contaminants such as paint, weld splatter,
grinding particles, blasting media, etc. When removing the protective covering please
ensure that it is removed completely and that the contact surfaces are free of
contaminants.
The required scheduled maintenance actions are given in the table below.

Check the bearing pads for mechanical damage. 3 months See note 1) below
Check the tightening of bolts. 6 months See note 2) below
DO NOT APPLY GREASE OR ANY KIND OF See note 3) below
LUBRICANT ON THE BEARING PADS OR THE
COUNTER SURFACES.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Notes:
1) The condition of the bearing pads shall be examined every time the hatch is opened and a
thorough inspection should be made every 3 months.
A mechanical damage (hit by container / spreader etc.) can be indicated by an asymmetrical

shape (e.g. pad tilted sideways) or by cracks in the rubber surface. Internal damage causes
changes in Flexipad’s outer appearance as shown in the picture below.
Ageing of rubber material has an effect on the mechanical strength and elasticity of the
Flexipad’s outer surface. Cracks on the Flexipad’s surface can cause corrosion of the steel
plates inside the pad.
Condition of the pads shall be checked while the pads are free in unloaded condition:
Rectangular cross-section: Side of pad is wrinkled: Pad is permanently

tilted sideways:

4.5 Quick-Acting Cleats & Hold-down Devices
MacGregor quick-acting cleats are made of a special high strength steel and may be
replaced only by original MacGregor spare parts.

Check the functioning of the quick-acting cleats & hold- 3 months See note 1) below
down devices.
Lubrication of the cleats & hold-down devices: apply a 3 months See note 2) below
thin layer of MacGregor Red Grease to the contact
surfaces and the thread of the quick-acting cleats.
Notes:
1) All quick-acting cleats must be in good operating shape. Replace the
damaged or heavily corroded quick-acting cleats with original MacGregor

spare parts.
The tightness of the quick-acting cleat is adjusted by a nut. The necessary

resilience on the cleat is produced by a rubber washer being compressed
between steel washers. The cleats must always be adjusted so that
compression of the rubber washer is approximately 1 mm when the cleats are
closed in order to prevent the cleats from unintentional opening.
Over-tightening the cleats increases the risk of damaging the cleats when they
are highly stressed due to hatch cover movements in seaway.
Always check the condition of the rubber discs when unlocking the cleats.
Replace the discs when necessary (cracks in the surface, poor elasticity, the
steel ring inside the rubber disk heavily corroded, etc.).
2) A regular greasing prevents corrosion resulting in smooth operation and
longer lifetime.

4.10 Steel Construction

Hatch cover and coaming steel structures are heavily loaded elements. Their condition has a
direct effect on the load carrying capacity and the safety of the vessel.

Check the steel structures of the hatch covers and the 6 months See note 1) below
coaming for corrosion, deformations and cracks.
Notes:
1) Check the condition of the hatch cover coating: identify the general level of corrosion and
the most corroded areas. Touch up the locally corroded spots or make a complete re-painting
as necessary.
In case of heavy corrosion (e.g. holes) or cracks in structural joints carry out the repair as
soon as possible. The cause for the cracks should be analysed.

The box structures must be air tight to prevent internal corrosion. Make a pressure test of
closed box beams annually: apply following pressure inside a box structure and check the
structure for leaks:
• 0.03 ± 0.01 bar
• HC for ballast water hold: 0.08 ± 0.02 bar
In case of leakage, repair the leaking spots and repeat the test.
The test plugs are typically located at panel side plates (at the end of a box structure).
Special inhibitor powders (e.g. Vappro 841) can be used inside box structures to improve the
internal corrosion protection.
Check the steel construction always after an unusual loading case.
When repairing the steel structure, please note that the material is high tensile
steel mainly.
Only high tensile ship building steel approved by the classification society
should be used as substitute.
Contact the classification society before making any steel structure repairs.

4.13 Cylinders
Poor maintenance of the cylinders can lead into accelerated wear and failures
of not only the cylinders but many other components of the hydraulic system,
too.

Check the condition of the cylinders. Pay attention to 2 months See note 1) below
bearings, pins and oil leakages.
Lubrication of the cylinder bearings: apply MacGregor 2 months See note 2) below
Red Grease to the pins and the bearings of the
cylinder.
Lubrication of the cylinders: add MacGregor Red 6 months See note 3) below
Grease to the gland of the cylinder.
Notes:
1) Check the piston rods: the surface should be smooth and clean. If there are marks of
corrosion or wear grooves on the piston rod, the performance of the cylinder will suffer: the
seals will wear down and there will be oil leaks out the cylinder. In addition, impurities will
enter the whole hydraulic system causing wear and failures of e.g. the operating valves.
Keep the cylinders and specially piston rods clean. In case of oil leakages, change the
cylinder seals: see the instructions below. Badly corroded or scratched piston rods should be
repaired or replaced with new ones.
Change the deformed or badly corroded pins. The pins are heavy, use a lifting device or
obtain assistance to avoid back injury when changing pins.
Check the clearance between the pin and the spherical bearing: replace both components in
case the clearance is greater than 2 mm.
Spare components like bearings, pins and seal kits are available. For the
spare parts, refer to chapter 5.
2) Check that the grease flows into the pin and bearing when being greased.
3) Greasing the cylinder gland prevents wear and corrosion of the piston rod resulting in
longer lifetime and improved tightness of the cylinder seals.

4.14 Hydraulic Pump Unit and Starter

A hydraulic pump unit supplies the oil pressure for the hydraulic cylinders required to operate
the hatch covers. The pump unit is controlled by a starter containing necessary switches and
indicating lamps. There is one pump unit to operate the hatch covers.
Check always before starting the pump unit that there is enough oil in
the tank.
The tank volume of the pump unit is 1000 litres and the oil type must be in compliance with
ISO VG T32. For the compatible products by various suppliers please see the table below.

The required maintenance actions of the hydraulic pump unit and starter are given in the table
below:

Check the oil level and filters of the pump unit 1 months See note 1) below
Check the operation of the pump unit
Check the condition of oil 3 months See note 2) below
Make an oil analysis 12 months See notes 2) and 3)
Check the starter and electrical components below
Notes:
1) Check always before starting the pump unit that there is enough oil in the
tank and that the suction line shutoff valves are open (especially after any
service made to the pump unit). Add oil if needed (note that the oil level is
dependent on the position of the hatch covers).
The oil filter is equipped with an electrical clogging indicator which activates an alarm lamp on
the starter in case the filter element is clogged. (Note that oil at low temperature might give a
false alarm.) Replace the clogged filter element. Simultaneously change the air filter (tank
breather) too.
In case of an oil leakage locate the leaking spot and repair e.g. by tightening the fittings or
changing seals / components.
When the pump unit is running check the functioning of the components (pumps, electrical
motors, cooler, gauges) and operation of the hatch covers. Pay attention to abnormal noises

or vibrations, system pressure and temperature, changes in the speed of hatch cover
operation etc. Tighten loose electrical connections.
Keep the pump unit, starter and the pump unit room clean.
2) If the oil looks milky (white), it may contain air or water. Stop the pump unit for a few hours
and drain separated water out the tank (shutoff valve at the bottom).
If the oil looks dark, it is oxidised and it has lost the lubrication properties. An oil sample
should be sent to be analysed and/or the oil should be changed.
For additional information, see the next section (Observing the Condition of
the Hydraulic Oil).
3) Verify proper operation of all mechanical components (switches, buttons). Check the
operation of circuit breakers and indicating lamps. Replace malfunctioning components. Clean
up the starter box and components. Tighten loose electrical connections.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
4.14.1 Observing Condition of Hydraulic Oil

In hydraulic systems oil acts as a lubricant and a power transmission medium. A high quality
and clean oil is a prerequisite for a trouble-free operation. Hydraulic components operate with
very small clearances, and therefore even very small dirt particles can cause damage and
malfunction of equipment.
The condition of oil in the hydraulic system must be regularly checked visually, and when in
doubt, the oil should be sent for laboratory testing (e.g. particle count, water content and
oxidation level should be analysed).
If the oil turns milky (white), it may contain air or condensation water. Normally, air and water
will separate a few hours after the pumps have been stopped. Water can be drained out of the
tank through a draining plug at the bottom of the tank. Water condensation is reduced in the
tank by keeping the tank as full as possible.
If the oil turns remarkably dark, it is oxidised and an oil sample is recommended to be sent to
a laboratory analysis. Usually the oil needs to be changed.
If metallic particles are found in the oil, try to find out their origin and replace a broken
component, if located. In case of excessive amount of impurities, flush the hydraulic system
and change the oil and the filters.

When taking an oil sample follow the guidelines below:

• The sample should be representative of the contamination level that exists in the
system.
• Take the oil sample when there is oil flow in the hydraulic system: the pump unit is
running and the hatch covers are operated.
• The environment of the sampling point should be cleaned carefully to avoid
contaminants getting into the sample or into the hydraulic system.
Typical sampling points are the test nipples of the valves at control stand and the
shutoff valve at the bottom of the tank of the pump unit.
• Before taking the actual oil sample, drain 2-3 litres of oil to a separate container.
• Take the sample into a clean bottle (preferably a special sampling bottle). Suitable
sample amount is 0.3 - 0.7 litre. Close the bottle carefully and mark it with adequate
identification data.
When adding oil into the tank the oil has to be filtered. New oil in the barrels
does not meet the cleanliness requirements of the hatch cover hydraulic
system. The required level is NAS 1638 class 8 or ISO 4406 code 17/14.
When oil is added through the filling connection (quick couplings on top of the
pump unit), the oil is flowing through the filter.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
4.15 Auxiliary Pump Unit

In case the main pump unit is out of order the hydraulic power to operate the hatch covers can
be generated with an auxiliary pump unit.

Check the oil level and filters of the pump unit. 1 year See note 1) below
Check the operation of the power unit.
Notes:
1) Check that there is enough oil in the tank before starting the pump unit. Add oil if needed.
The oil filter is equipped with a visual clogging indicator which gives an alarm in case the filter
element is clogged (the condition of the filter element has to be checked when there is oil flow
through the filter i.e. when the hatch covers are operated). Replace the clogged filter element.
Keep the pump unit clean.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TABLE OF CONTENTS
4.16 Hydraulic Hoses and Piping

The hydraulic power is supplied to the control valves and actuators via hydraulic hoses and
pipes. To avoid oil leakage and system breakdowns the piping components have to be
inspected and maintained properly.

Check the hydraulic hoses, pipes and couplings. 1 months See note 1) below
Notes:
1) In case of an oil leakage locate the leaking spot and repair e.g. by tightening or changing
the fittings.
Replace the heavily corroded components.
Replace a hose if the surface is worn, cracked or otherwise damaged or if the end fittings are
corroded.
When you disconnect a line or hose from a hydraulic system, be sure to cap or plug the line
and also the fitting from which it was removed. Never use rags or waste material for plugging
lines or components of the system.
The replacement hose must be classified for the same system pressure and it must have
identical end fittings. The length of the hose must not be changed to avoid failures caused by
too tight or too loose hoses.
Avoid sharp bends in hoses and tubing. Sharp bends in hydraulic lines of any type act as
restrictions and cause overheating. When you are installing a hose line where it must be bent,
always check for the minimum bend radius.
Make sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system when the
piping components are detached; typical operating pressure in the
hydraulic system is 200 - 250 bar and even when the hatch covers are
not operated there can be high pressure in the system. The high-
pressure oil spray can cause serious injury. Allow the pressure to be
released from the hydraulic circuit before opening the plugs or
connectors.
