Inspect the cylinder, mountings, hoses, connections and hydraulic-oil level before operation. Follow the maintenance intervals in the applicable product manual, and stop using the system if you find leakage, damage, unusual movement or loose components.
Please include the vehicle or trailer type, body length, maximum payload, required tipping angle, available installation dimensions, working pressure and preferred front-end or underbody configuration.
Before installation, verify that the cylinder matches the intended application and inspect the mounting points, hydraulic connections, hoses, hydraulic oil and system components. Installation should follow the applicable Hidromas technical documentation.
The appropriate hydraulic oil depends on the hydraulic system and operating conditions. Oil must meet the specifications recommended for the system and should be kept clean and free from contamination.
Yes. Air trapped in a hydraulic system can cause irregular operation and should be removed according to the recommended commissioning procedure.
Tipping on uneven or unstable ground can create dangerous side loads and increase the risk of instability. The vehicle should be positioned according to the applicable operating and safety requirements before tipping.
Hydraulic tipping systems should be inspected regularly according to operating conditions, vehicle usage and the applicable maintenance recommendations. High-use or demanding applications may require more frequent inspection.
Regular inspections should include checking for hydraulic oil leakage, damage, unusual movement, mounting condition, hydraulic connections and visible wear.
Slow lifting can have several causes, including insufficient hydraulic flow, low oil level, restrictions in the hydraulic circuit, pump performance or other system conditions. The complete hydraulic system should be inspected before determining the cause.
Oil leakage can originate from hoses, fittings, seals, connections or other hydraulic components. The source should be identified before operating the system further.
