Ensure that you establish and follow standard lock out/tag out safety procedures
and the test system is hydraulically isolated before you perform routine
maintenance procedures on the test system.
Also ensure that you allow the system to rest a minimum of 20 minutes from the
time the system is hydraulically isolated before you attempt to perform
maintenance on hydraulic components.
Hazardous electrical current can be present in the test system.

Overview
Routine maintenance can extend the operating life of your test system by using
regular inspections and simple procedures, such as filter changes, to minimize
wear and component failure.
Note You can adjust the time frame for performing these procedures based on
the operating requirements of your system.
This section contains a maintenance schedule table. Procedures for these
maintenance requirements are found in the associated product manuals. The table
includes schedules for a typically configured system. The maintenance schedule
table lists the recommended routine maintenance procedures. Procedures that
you can perform without special training are listed in the shaded columns of the
table. Procedures that require special training are listed in the unshaded columns;
you should contact MTS to perform these procedures.
The following paragraphs provide additional guidelines relating to routine
maintenance.
