MAINTENANCE
Hose Warranty
Warranty is limited to replacement which have failed due to faulty manufacture or materials. Warranty will not
be considered on hoses that have suffered damage by abrasion, cuts or being pinched or trapped while in
work.
Neither will a claim be considered where the hose end has been damaged by a flow or where the threads or
unions have been damaged by overtightening.
HOSE CONNECTIONS
STORAGE
If machine is to be left standing for an extended period of time, lightly coat the exposed portions of the ram rods
with grease. Subsequently, this grease which becomes contaminated with dust and grit should be wiped off
before the rams are next moved.
If the machine has to be stored outside, tie a piece of tarpaulin or canvas over the control assembly. Do not use
a plastic fertilizer bag which could lead to rapid corrosion.
PROPER TORQUE VALUES FOR FASTENERS
The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to
this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are
assigned in manual text.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE IN FOOT POUNDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE MANUAL*
NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine
oil. They do not apply if special graphitized or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are
used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
