Periodic Cleaning - SPX POWER TEAM C Serie Instructions D'utilisation

INSPECTION
Before each use, visually inspect for the following items:
Preventive Maintenance (yearly or sooner, if the cylinder or ram condition suggests damage) - Visual examination
• Always use clean, approved hydraulic fluid and change as needed.
• Any exposed threads (male or female) must be cleaned and lubricated regularly, and protected from damage.
• If a cylinder or ram has been exposed to rain, snow, sand, grit-laden air, or any corrosive environment it must
be cleaned, lubricated, and protected immediately after exposure.

PERIODIC CLEANING

A routine should be established to keep the hydraulic system as free from dirt as possible. All unused couplers must be
sealed with dust covers. All hose connections must be free of dirt and grime. Any equipment attached to the cylinder
must be kept clean. Use only Power Team hydraulic fluid and change as recommended or sooner if the fluid becomes
contaminated (never exceed 300 hours).
STORAGE
Single-acting and Center Hole Cylinders
Single-acting and center hole cylinders and rams should be stored in a vertical position with the rod end down in a dry,
well-protected area where they will not be exposed to corrosive vapors, dust or other harmful elements.
When a single-acting cylinder or ram has not been used for a period of three (3) months it should be connected to a pump
and be fully extended and then retracted. This cycle will lubricate the cylinder walls thereby reducing the potential for rust
formation on the cylinder walls.
Double-acting Cylinders
Double-acting cylinders and rams should be stored in a vertical position with the rod end down in a dry, well-protected
area where they will not be exposed to corrosive vapors, dust or other harmful elements.
If a double-acting cylinder or ram has been stored for a year or more, it must be thoroughly inspected
before it is used.
