- Check all connections thoroughly after tightening.
- Re-evaluate fittings for leaks post-tightening.
- Ensure hoses are not in contact with sharp edges.
- Verify that hoses are secured away from moving parts.
- Look for any signs of wear at contact points.
- Adjust routing as necessary for optimal safety.
- Check for any gaps between the fitting and connector.
- Listen for audible clicks that indicate proper engagement.
- Inspect seals for wear or damage.
- Ensure that release mechanisms function correctly.
- Check for any signs of rust or corrosion.
- Ensure clamps are tight and secure.
- Verify that clamps are appropriately positioned to prevent movement.
- Replace any damaged or missing clamps.
- Wipe down connections with a clean cloth.
- Check for any buildup of dirt or grime.
- Ensure no foreign objects obstruct the connections.
- Clean affected areas thoroughly before reassembly.
- Inspect covers for tears or degradation.
- Remove old covers carefully to avoid further damage.
- Select appropriate replacement covers that fit snugly.
- Install new covers to protect against environmental factors.
- Inspect hoses for any bends or twists.
- Adjust hoses to eliminate any kinks.
- Check that hoses are not pinched during operation.
- Test flow after adjustments to confirm unrestricted passage.
- Inspect each metal part for discoloration or flaking.
- Clean any corroded areas with a suitable cleaner.
- Apply anti-corrosive treatment if needed.
- Replace corroded fittings if they cannot be restored.
- Inspect spill containment systems for integrity.
- Ensure containment areas are free from debris.
- Check that absorbent materials are present and effective.
- Test functionality of containment measures as needed.
- Refer to the maintenance manual for correct torque values.
- Use a torque wrench to check existing fittings.
- Adjust fittings to align with specified torque settings.
- Document any adjustments made during inspection.
- Examine O-rings for cracks or deformation.
- Check seals for signs of wear or leakage.
- Replace any damaged O-rings with correct size.
- Ensure new O-rings are properly lubricated before installation.
- Operate each valve to check for smooth action.
- Listen for any unusual noises during operation.
- Check for leaks around the valve body.
- Document valve condition and any required maintenance.
- Measure hose lengths to verify compliance with specifications.
- Confirm that the diameter matches operational requirements.
- Assess if hoses are suitable for the pressure ratings.
- Replace hoses that do not meet specifications.
Electrical Components
Performance Checks
Seals and Bearings
- Look for cracks, cuts, or deformations.
- Check for signs of fluid leakage.
- Ensure seals are properly seated in their grooves.
- Replace any damaged seals immediately.
- Gently rock the bearing to assess play.
- Measure lubrication levels using a dipstick or gauge.
- Ensure adequate lubrication is present to prevent friction.
- Identify and address any irregularities.
- Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for type and amount of lubricant.
- Use a clean grease gun or oil can for application.
- Avoid over-lubrication to prevent seal failure.
- Lubricate at regular intervals as per schedule.
- Run the motor at normal operating speed.

- Identify the source of sounds if present.
- Document and address any abnormal noises.
- Check for cracks, corrosion, or deformation.
- Ensure all mounting bolts are secure.
- Look for any signs of fluid leaks.
- Replace housing if significant damage is found.
- Use an infrared thermometer or thermal imaging camera.
- Compare temperature readings against manufacturer specifications.
- Monitor for sudden temperature changes.
- Document temperatures for future reference.
- Use alignment tools or lasers for precision.
- Check alignment during initial installation and periodically thereafter.
- Adjust as necessary to maintain proper alignment.
- Recheck alignment after any maintenance work.
- Inspect oil for discoloration or particulate matter.
- Replace any contaminated lubrication immediately.
- Ensure filters are clean and functioning.
- Implement measures to prevent future contamination.
- Check for uniform gap around the seal.
- Ensure seals are not pinched or misaligned.
- Confirm the correct seal type is used.
- Reinstall or replace as necessary.
