MAINTENANCE

DELTA MODEL DSC2000 PHALANX® BARRIER SYSTEMS

IMPORTANT

READ THE SUMMARY ON THE SAFETY ASPECT REGARDING MAINTENANCE ON OR

ABOUT THE BARRIER – PAGE 7 AND 8 OF THIS DOCUMENT

Safety Precautions

At all times observe good safety practices when working on either the electrical or mechanical system. Particular attention should be paid to the danger of working on the Barrier when the power is on. Barriers are powerful hydraulic presses that can easily crush anything in their way. Keep hands free of the mechanism when the power is on or the HPU is up to pressure. Turn off the electric power and bleed the hydraulic pressure down to zero before working on any part of the system. Traffic should be controlled around the Barrier during any work so that vehicular accidents do not occur if the Barrier should happen to rise. After work is complete, do not allow traffic over the Barrier until all control and safety functions have been verified to be properly working.

A Barrier ramp brace is provided for each Barrier in the system. The Barrier ramp brace should be in place and firmly bolted in position when working under the Barrier ramp. The Barrier ramp brace is stowed in the Barrier frame when not in use. This makes it readily available for use at all times.

Particular attention should be paid to the rigging and lifting equipment used when installing, moving, removing, relocating or servicing any of the heavy elements of the Barrier system. The rigging and lifting gear should be properly sized and attached when lifting heavy components in all instances.

Each Barrier ramp has two attachment points (threaded 3/4"-10 for heavy eye bolts) that are located on the front and rear edges of the ramp and in line with the center of gravity of the ramp.

The rear axle lugs can be also be used to attach the lifting gear to the ramp rear edge. The attachment means between the Barrier ramp and the lifting gear must be sized or designed to take into consideration both the vertical lift as well as side loading conditions.

Barrier Disassembly, Service and Assembly

The Barrier assembly is designed to facilitate easy repair and maintenance. Depending on the environmental conditions, we recommend at least a one-month interval of inspection to conform that no debris, sand or dirt is accumulated inside the Barrier that would interfere with its operation.

This can be easily checked by installing the ramp brace (read the summary on the safety aspect regarding maintenance on or about the barrier – page 7 and 8 of this document) and removing the hydraulic cylinder shroud. Conduct a visual inspection of the hydraulic cylinder, optional limit switches and heaters and the underside of the Barrier ramp. Particular attention should be given to the hydraulic cylinder to confirm that the seals are tight and not leaking. Cylinder clevis pins, cotter pins and bushings should be inspected and lubricated as needed. The main Barricade bearings should be inspected at the same time at the rear of the Barricade. Grease the bearing blocks if equipped with grease fittings.

Should disassembly be necessary:

1) Remove the bearing block inspection plates if equipped.

2) Raise the Barrier ramp to its guard position using the hydraulic pumping unit or an auxiliary means such as a crane, forklift or other properly sized lifting means. The 3/4"-10 threaded attachment point near the front lip of the barrier plate is provided for this purpose. See the

Safety Precautions above dealing with rigging and hoisting.

3) Install the Barrier ramp brace. Bolt firmly in position.

4) Remove the front Barrier visibility panel.

5) Remove the chain assemblies.

6) Remove hydraulic cylinder clevis pins at the Barrier ramp.

7) Secure the Barrier ramp in the up position using a crane, forklift or other properly sized lifting means.

8) Remove the Barrier ramp brace and slowly lower the Barrier ramp to its flush down position.

9) Remove the bearing block bolts at the rear hinge area.

10) Each Barrier ramp has two attachment points (threaded 3/4"-10 for heavy eye bolts) that are located on the front and rear edges of the ramp and in line with the center of gravity of the ramp. The rear axle lugs can be also be used to attach the lifting gear to the ramp rear edge. Using a suitable rope, chain or sling, slowly lift the Barrier ramp plate. Once the front lip is above the foundation frame, the ramp plate can be leveled and guided away from the foundation. Insure that the ramp plate it doesn’t swing or rock while it is moving. Damage to critical components can occur if it is allowed to strike the foundation or its elements, hydraulic cylinders or limit switches.

Full access to the hydraulic lines and the cylinders is now possible. These can be inspected, repaired or replaced as required. Before reassembly, any rust or other corrosion should be removed and the area coated with sealer or rust inhibiting paint. The foundation can be vacuumed of debris and the drain can be cleared as required.

Inspect and lubricate all bronze style bearings and pins. Graphite/fiberglass bearings should be inspected for any damage and replaced as necessary, lubrication of these style bearings is optional. Anti-seize compound has been used on the bearing block bolts at factory assembly, reapply if you remove the bolts. The proper torque value is 45 foot-lbs [60 N-M]. Check for sand and construction debris about the bearings and shafts and clean if necessary. Reassemble in reverse order.

Hydraulic System Cleanliness

The cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid directly affects the reliability of the hydraulic system and the longevity of the components. When contaminates are present, component wear and fatigue are accelerated, performance is degraded, valves, hydraulic motors and cylinders can malfunction and the hydraulic fluid may break down.

To maintain system efficiency and reliability great care must be taken to prevent any form of dirt, sand or grit from entering the hydraulic system. Only new, clean filtered hydraulic oil should be used for charging the unit. Unless specifically ordered as filtered, new oil should be pumped through a 25-micron filter when charging. See Commercial Hydraulic Oil Interchangeability Chart in the Mechanical Theory section of this manual for our recommended oils. The tests conducted at the factory on the system have been done with the HPU charged with Shell 'Tellus' 46. This grade is for moderate temperatures and is available in most of the worlds leading cities. Hydraulic oil is subject to degradation and contamination with age or if subject to high temperatures (above 180ºF

[82ºC]. The contamination can be from the following sources:

1) Particulate (dust, dirt, sand, rust, fibers, paint chips, etc.)

2) Wear metals, silicon and excessive oil additives.

3) Water.

4) Sealants (Teflon tape and pastes).

5) Sludge, oxidation and other corrosion products.

6) Acids and other chemicals.

7) Biological and microbes (for high water based fluids or other biodegradable fluids).

The hydraulic fluid should be sampled and tested periodically to ensure contamination and fluid properties are within acceptable levels. We suggest that the first test be done after one year's operation. The frequency of testing will depend upon the results of that test. Most major cities will have hydraulic fluid testing commercially available.

Filters

A filter element is furnished to filter the oil as it is being returned to the oil reservoir. The oil filter housing is only rated at 150 psig [10 bar] or less as the oil in the return line has only to overcome the pressure drop through the filter itself. If the filter should become clogged with particulates from the system, a bypass check valve inside the filter will open and allow the dirty oil to circulate back to the reservoir. For this reason, frequent inspection of the filter is required.

A visual determination of the filter's degree of contamination should be made during filter change outs. Adjust the interval between changes if a high degree of particulates are found.

Pump Motor

Electric motors are basically dependable machines and require little maintenance. Too much attention may be worse than none. The following should be helpful in reducing maintenance.

Wherever possible, prevent:

1) Dampness and dripping water.

2) Dirt, especially dust, which may block ventilation.

3) Inaccessible position, in case maintenance is necessary.

4) Excessive heat. Surrounding air (ambient) temperatures must not exceed 104ºF [40ºC).

Overloading a motor or operating it in an area where the temperature exceeds 104ºF

[40ºC], may cause it to overheat. Frequent or prolonged starting periods or blocked ventilation are other causes of overheating.

The motor has front and rear ball bearings. The bearings have been given initial lubrication at the factory. Motors without regreasing capability are factory lubricated for normal bearing life. Motors having regreasing capability should be relubricated by the procedure noted below if they have been in storage for over one year and at the following service intervals:

1) Every five years based on 5000 hours per year operation.

2) Every two years based on continuous operation.

3) Every six months for continuously high ambient temperature and or dirty or moist locations.

Greasing procedure:

1) Keep grease clean. Lubricate motors at standstill. Do not mix petroleum grease and silicone grease in motor bearings.

2) Use Shell Oil Company "Dolium R", Chevron "SRI No. 2" or Texaco Inc. "Premium RB".

3) Overgreasing bearings can cause premature bearing failure. If motor is equipped with an

Alemite type fitting, clean tip of fitting and apply grease gun. Use only one to two full strokes.

Pump Replacement

The following recommendations are given should replacement of the pump be required:

1) Damage to this component is generally caused by debris contamination in the oil.

Replacement of the pump is an indication that the oil must be drained and replaced with clean filtered oil. A check of the filter and your filter changing procedures is also in order.

Copyright 2017 Delta Scientific Corporation Page 6 of 22

2) When changing out the pump, avoid contamination. Do not remove the plastic port plugs until just prior to installing the fittings and hoses. The pump mounting flange must make full contact with the pump/motor adapter. Do not use the pump mounting bolts to force the pump pilot into the pilot hole or to align the pump. To avoid damaging the pump seals and bearings, do not hammer on the pump or shaft to install or remove the pump/motor couplings.

System Maintenance

The following maintenance procedures and schedules should be adhered to in order to assure safe, long and trouble free service from your Delta Barrier System:

REMEMBER: SAFETY FIRST !!!

SUMMARY OF SAFETY ASPECTS REGARDING MAINTENANCE

ON OR ABOUT THE BARRIERS

General

At all times observe good safety practices when working on either the electrical or mechanical system. Particular attention should be paid to the danger of working on the Barrier when the power is on. Barriers are powerful hydraulic presses that can easily crush anything in their way.

Keep hands free of the mechanism when the power is on or the HPU is up to pressure. Turn off the electric power and bleed the hydraulic pressure down to zero before working on any part of the system. Note: Properly install the safety legs before working on, in or around a Barrier in the UP position. Traffic should be controlled around the Barrier during any work so that vehicular accidents do not occur if the Barrier should happen to rise. After work is complete, do not allow traffic over the Barrier until all control and safety functions have been verified to be properly working.
