2.Replace hydraulic oil after first 200 hours and in every 1,000 hours of operation.

CAUTION :

Make sure hydraulic oil i is at a normal safe operating level.DO NOT over fill.Over filling (excessive oil) will cause excess oil to blow out of breather plug.

Replacing Hydraulic Oil

1.Remove the drain plug (Figure 28) at the bottom of the oil tank with a 6 mm hex wrench and drain the hydraulic oil.

Figure 28. Hydraulic Oil Maintenance

2.Clean the filter with light oil.

3.Reinstall the drain plug to the oil tank. Apply seal tape or Roctite #575 to thread portion.

4.Fill tank with hydraulic oil. (Capacity: About 2,500 cc). Use ShellTellus Oil #46 or equivalent.

5.After filling tank, temporarily install cover. Loosen bleeder plug located at the top of the cylinders on side of vibrator (Figure 27). Air remaining in the circuit will be forced out of the bleeder plug.

6.Tighten the breather plug. Check oil level in the tank again.

7.Install the cover of oil tank. Coat packing with liquid packing such as Threebond #1215. Use Loctite #242 for mounting screw.

MVH-402GHB — MAINTENANCE

Battery Maitenance

1.Check the battery terminals periodically to ensure that they are in good condition.

2.Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery terminals.

3.Check battery for cracks or any other damage. If white pattern appears inside the battery or paste has accumulated at the bottom, replace the battery.

4..If the machine will not be in operation for a long period of time, store in cool dry place and check the battery charge level every month to maintain the performance of the battery.

Battery Cable Connection

1.Take off the battery cover by removing the M6 nuts (Figure 29).

2.When removing cable, disconnect the ground side (normally negative) first (Figure 29).

3.When installing cable connect the ground side (normally negative) last.

Figure 29. Battery Maintenance

CAUTION :

Wear safety glasses or face mask, protective clothes, and rubber gloves when working with battery.
