HYDRAULIC RAM MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended for the hydraulic ram. Any restrictions
due to dirt, rust, etc. can cause the either slow movement or extremely rapid
jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to
keep the pump maintained and operational.
1.
Lubricate the cylinder and the pumping mechanism with light oil.
2.
Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic
oil leaks.
3.
Inspect the hydraulic ram immediately if it was subjected to an abnormal
load or shock load.
4.
Remove any hydraulic jack pump from service that is damaged, worn
down or operates abnormally, until repaired by an authorized service
technician.
5.
Check and maintain the ram oil level.
6.
Always store the hydraulic ram in the fully retracted position. This will
help protect critical areas from corrosion.
7.
Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can
damage the seals. Always purchase and use products labeled Hydraulic
Oil.
REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil annually.
The oil can be removed by using a fluid extractor tool or detaching the
hydraulic pump from the press and manually emptying it.
FLUID EXTRACTOR TOOL
1.
Retract the ram and remove the oil filler plug.
2.
Follow the instructions for your fluid extractor tool to remove the old
hydraulic oil.
