Marathon RJ-100SC - Manual (Page 15)

Check external hoses for chafing, rubbing, or other deterioration and damage.
Check for any obvious unsafe conditions in the compactor area.
Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir. Level should be 3/4 of sight gauge.
Clean out or wash out debris from behind compactor ram.
Lubricate the ram guidance tracks using the grease fittings on the compactor side
(For guided ram machines only), and check guide shoes for wear.
Check functional operation of controls and options (stop button, timers, lights, etc.).
Check hydraulic cylinder, internal hoses, and connections for leakage; check hoses
for chafing and wear.
Lubricate the container door hinges.
The hydraulic filter should be cleaned at regular yearly intervals.
The filter may be removed from the unit by disconnecting the union on the suction
side of the pump, removing the four bolts retaining the cover plate, and lifting the fil-
ter from the reservoir.
Care should be exercised in cleaning the fiIter to insure that the element is not torn.
Clean the element with a soft brush and standard industrial solvent.
Replace the filter after cleaning and tighten the union securely. Pump noise and a
"crackle" sound is most often caused by air entering the pump suction line.
Tightening the suction fittings will usually eliminate the problem.
