Maintenance

Prevent bacteria from growing in the pore fluid. Do this by adding a bactericide
to the fluid and by changing the pore fluid frequently.

Pore fluid lines can be flushed with a mild detergent solution. Use the steps in

“Purging and Filling the Fluid Lines”

on page 16 to flush the lines. Follow the

detergent flush with a thorough fresh water flush.

Check the accumulators’ precharge pressures at least once a month. Your Series
111 Accumulator manual has details on accumulator maintenance.
