Inspection & Maintenance4-1 Maintenance
prior to storage. Prepare areas to be painted
to ensure they are free of grease, dirt, or
solvent. Touch up with appropriate paint.
Allow sufcient time for paint to dry before
proceeding.
8. Perform a complete lubrication of all exter-
nally accessible grease ttings on equip-
ment.
9. Connect a low-pressure air supply line (10
PSI or less) to the hydraulic supply line,
and force a small amount of the remaining
hydraulic uid from the valve assembly.
This will allow for thermal expansion of the
hydraulic uid if the equipment is stored or
transported in high ambient temperatures.
Failure to do this may result in damaged or
destroyed seals in the equipment.
10. Wipe all excess grease from outside of
equipment. Use a solvent-based cleaner on
rags to wipe all external surfaces to remove
residual grease or hydraulic uid. Once the
outside surfaces have been de-greased,
wipe all external surfaces with clean water
to remove residual solvent.
11. McCoy recommends that an anti-corrosive
agent such as Tectyl® 506 be applied
to all external surfaces (including chain
slings) EXCEPT cylinder rods. Refer
to manufacturer data sheets for proper
application and safety information.
12. Allow the anti-corrosive coating ample time
to dry. Refer to manufacturer data sheets for
drying times at room temperature.
13. Wrap entire assembly in 100 gauge (1 mil)
corrosion-inhibiting wrap, at least 3 layers
thick. Ensure that the tool is well sealed
within the wrapping, including the bottom.
4-1.4 Storage
● For optimum longevity, it is recommended
that equipment be stored in a sealed,
climate controlled environment. McCoy
recommends using a silica gel desiccant to
reduce the humidity within the wrapping. 125
g of desiccant should be used for each cubic
meter of space (3.5 g per cubic foot).
