Chapter 6 MAINTENANCE
6.1
GENERAL RULES
Maintenance has to be a preventive and planned activity, seen as a fundamental need to
obtain safety, as a presupposition that the machines and the apparatus are subject to wear
which is a potential cause of breakdowns. Therefore the safety of the frame machine
depends also on a good preventive maintenance that allows the substitution of the objects
subject to wear out before the verification of the technical faults.
a. Keep the working yard clean, and clean the frame machine after finishing theoperation.
b. Do not put any sundries on the frame of the frame machine.
6.2
DETAILED RULES
Ordinary maintenance is a kind of periodic maintenance. The procedures of ordinary
maintenance as a rule had better be done by qualified and authorized personnel.
1.Operators should check periodic connections of hydraulic systems in order to insure the
tightness.
2.Operators should check periodically oil level of pump with all cylinders or tools in the
fully retracted position and add oil if necessary. If add oil when the hydraulic cylinder is
advanced, the reservoir will overfilled when they are retracted.

18
3.Operators should change hydraulic oil every 200 to 300 working hours. If there is lots of
dust in the work environment, the frequency should be controlled every about 35 working
hours.
ATTENTION: The hydraulic oil must be changed full.
4. Operators should insulate the dust, grease and scrap from the hydraulic components.
5. Operators should lubricate periodically all the joint parts.
6. The pulling tools subject to wear have to have scheduled maintenance. Repair or
replace them if necessary.
7. The chain subject to wear also has to have scheduled maintenance. Ensure there is
no notch, twist and other wearing position. Replace them if necessary.
ATTENTION: If the frame machine is used with greater continuity or for heavy work,
it is necessary to carry out checks with greater frequency.
