Terex Site Dumper TA10

During ANY maintenance extreme care must be taken to make sure the cleanliness of the hydraulic circuit is maintained. By observing strict hydraulic cleanliness the machine will benefit from fewer hydraulic failures through contamination.

• Always thoroughly clean machine before any hydraulic maintenance. Use paper roll, not rag, to wipe parts.

• Always use fresh, clean hydraulic oil from a sealed container.

• Always make sure old gasket particles and excess sealing compound etc. do not enter the system. If they do clean them out.

• Never use dirty containers for oil storage.

• Never use dirty containers or funnels for filling hydraulic system.

A description of the hydraulics is contained in section 4 of this manual. Hydraulic diagrams will be found in Appendix 2.
