Maintenance

• NOTICE: Contact the factory, factory representative or local service company to perform maintenance and repairs.
• WARNING: The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the tilting braising pan.
• WARNING: Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit before performing any maintenance.

Hydraulic System

Service: The hydraulic system has been adjusted and tested at the factory and no further adjustment should be needed. If the unit fails to operate properly, all service work must be performed by a qualified service agent.
Maintenance

1. Hot oil in the Hydraulic System is one of the primary causes of poor operation. When the tilt system is not in use turn power switch off.
2. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear and aging.
3. Check that fluid levels are kept full.
4. To replace oil, fill through filler breather.
5. Use proper oil as specified by factory. TYPE: AWH32 or equivalent.
6. Set up regular schedule for checking the oil temperature, hydraulic hoses and keeping the equipment clean. A thick layer of dirt acts as an insulation and prevents the hydraulic system from cooling properly.

Adjustments and Controls

Adjust Pan Speed
There are three controls available on this power unit. The first is an adjustable relief valve mounted into the custom aluminum manifold block. The other two control the linear speed of the actuator.
Relief Valve
The relief valve is located underneath an aluminum hexagon cover on the side of the custom manifold block. This relief valve is factory set to 825 P.S.I. and locked and should not be adjusted. If adjustments are necessary, remove the hexagon cover which will give access to the relief valve screw. With the pump running, and with a suitable flat blade style screwdriver, rotate the screw clockwise to increase pressure, and anti clockwise to decrease pressure. While this operation is being carried out some oil will leak down the threads of the adjusting screw. To obtain the pressure required, a pressure gauge will have to be located in the circuit. The best location is on the cylinder hose. To set the pressure, energize the solenoid to extend the cylinder fully and thus “deadhead” the system. The pressure can be set as indicated above. When adjustment is complete, replace the hexagon cover. This will seal the relief valve area. The actual factory set pressure is noted on the label and should not be exceeded as this affects the HP draw on the electric motor.
Flow Control
IMPORTANT: It should be noted that if the cylinder speed is restricted by the flow control valves, the balance of oil not delivered to the cylinder will go over the relief @ 825 P.S.I. which will cause unwanted heat in the reservoir. There are two flow control valves mounted on the power unit and located on the solenoid valve subplate. The flow control valves will restrict the capacity of oil passing through them when the knurled knob is screwed in – in a clockwise direction. This action will reduce the linear speed of the cylinder. Turning the flow control valve adjustment in the opposite direction – anti-clockwise will increase the speed of the cylinder. One flow control valve (right side) will allow adjustment of the extension speed (travel speed should be set at minimum 20 seconds), and the other (left side) the retraction speed.
(Retraction speed should be set at minimum of 10 seconds).
