8.3.4 Hydraulic hoses
• Clean the hose with luke warm water and a mild soap solution.
• 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
code specify the date of manufacture of the hose (yymm*****).
8.4 Yearly dealer maintenance
We recommend having the equipment inspected, checked, set and tested once a year by a Holmatro
Certified Technician who has the appropriate knowledge and the necessary tools (see also section 1.7).
The Holmatro dealer can organize the yearly maintenance for you on a contract basis.
8.5 Long term storage
• Ensure that the equipment is completely depressurized.
• Store the equipment in a dry, well-ventilated area. Use additional preservatives on the external steel
parts.
9 Decommissioning/Recycling
At the end of its service life the equipment can be scrapped and recycled.
• Make sure that the equipment is put out of order to avoid any use.
• Check that the equipment does not contain any pressurized components.
• Recycle the various materials used in the equipment such as steel, aluminium, NBR (Nitrile
Butadiene Rubber) and plastic.
• Collect all dangerous substances separately and dispose of them in an environmentally responsible
way.
• Consult the Holmatro dealer about recycling.
