• Check the hose for damage and leaks. Replace the hose if it leaks, has kinks, the reinforced cover
is visible or it has blisters or bulges higher than 1 mm. In case of doubt always contact the Holmatro
dealer who can assess the seriousness of the damage.
• Replace the hose no later than 10 years after the date of manufacture, regardless of its use and
external appearance. The date of manufacture is part of the test code, the first 4 digits of the test

Hydraulic oil

• Check the hydraulic oil level. The plunger of the tool must always be retracted. The maximum oil
level is 1 cm below the filling cap. Use only the hydraulic oil specified by Holmatro.
• Replace the hydraulic oil after every 300 working hours or sooner if the oil appears to be
contaminated.
• Release the pump flange if the oil is severely contaminated to allow cleaning of the tank and oil
filters.
8.4.6 Vent the pump
• Connect the pump in the normal manner.
• Depress the foot pedal at "RELEASE".
• At the same time depress the air valve using a screwdriver. The air valve is located below the mark
"PUMP" of the foot pedal.
• Leave the pump operating in that manner for approximately 15 seconds.
• Check whether the pump is developing pressure again. If not, vent the pump again.
