PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE -CONTINUED
Hydraulic Fluid Level
WARNING: Cylinder(s) connected to the pump must be fully retracted before checking the fluid level.
Release all system pressure before breaking any hydraulic connection in the system.
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir periodically. Use a funnel with a filter to add hydraulic fluid if needed.
P19L and P59L (Reservoir Type B) :
Remove the filler cap. The fluid level should come to the
bottom edge of the filler hole when the pump is level and
resting horizontally on its base and the cylinders are
retracted
(see Figure 1).
Draining And Flushing The Reservoir
Drain, clean and replenish the reservoir with high-grade,
approved Power Team hydraulic fluid yearly or more often
if necessary. The frequency of fluid change will depend
upon the general working conditions, severity of use and
overall cleanliness and care given the pump.
IMPORTANT: Clean the exterior of the pump first.
After draining and flushing the reservoir, drain and
clean the other hydraulic system components (hoses,
cylinders, etc.) before connecting them to the pump
again. This will help prevent contaminated fluid from
entering the pump.
1. Remove the filler cap. Drain the hydraulic fluid through filler hole.
2. Remove the nut from the tie rod. Separate the reservoir from the pump body. Clean the reservoir and filter.
IMPORTANT: Removing the filter from the pump assembly could result in its breakage. Attempt to clean it
as well as possible with it installed.
3. Reassemble and fill the reservoir with Power Team hydraulic fluid. Replace the filler cap.
