The intake and running characteristics of the hy-

fected. Hydraulic oil also serves as a lubricant for
these components. A dry run can lead to total
failure in a very short time.

change. To bleed, fill clean oil through the highest

Hydraulic cylinders The first operation of the cylinders has to be car-

ried out with reduced oil flow, to extend or extract
the piston rod as slowly as possible.

Before oil is admitted to a cylinder for the first time,

the piston must be in one of the two end positions.
In other words, the piston rod (1, Fig. 6 + 7) must
be either fully extended or fully retracted.

When the pilot lines are connected to the upper

ports of the servo caps the system is bleeding air
automatically.

Always admit oil to the side of the cylinder where

the piston (2) is positioned.
With the rod (1) retracted, admit oil to the

piston end (3).
With the rod (1) extended, admit oil to the

rod end (4).
If the piston rod is in the half-way position (for in-

stallation reasons), admit oil to the rod side (4) first.

Function
The pressure oil required to swing out the pumps is

taken from the pump flow. It is constantly available
in chamber (C) of the regulator cylinder (2). At
operating pressures below 60 bar, chamber (C) is
pressurized via connection (X 2) with oil from the
auxiliary circuit. Otherwise it would be impossible
to swing out the pump.
At the same time the regulator piston (1) is pres-

surized via the proportional valve and connection
(X 1) with oil (max. 42.5 bar). It now connects the
chamber (A) of the regulator cylinder with the tank.
The pump swings out completely and supplies its
maximum output.

8.4.2 Swing pump

The swing pump is a variable displacement axial-
piston pump in swash-plate design for closed-
circuits.
The volume flow is proportional to the drive speed

and displacement volume and is infinitely adjust-
able.
With increasing swing-out, the swash-plate in-
creases the volume flow from 0 up to its maximum
value.
If the swash-plate is adjusted through the zero
position, the volume flow changes its direction of
flow smoothly.
To protect the drive system, the pump is equipped

with two pressure relief valves for the respective
high-pressure side.
These valves act simultaneously as feed valves.
An integrated auxiliary pump serves as a feed
pump. The max. feed pressure is ensured by the
installed feed-pressure relief valve.
Torque control
Depending on the pre-selected control pressure,

the service pressure as well as the pressure direc-
tion and thus the level and direction of the torque
at the hydraulic motor are controlled infinitely ad-
justably.
This control permits virtually loss-free utilization of

the drive system for both acceleration and braking
operations. No power is converted into heat by
means of pressure relief valves, and during the
braking operation the braking energy is fed back
into the pump transfer gearbox and relieves the
drive motor.
High pressure and control pressure are in a ratio of

12:1, i.e. the high pressure available at the hydrau-
lic motor is theoretically approx. 12 times as high
as the control pressure applied at the pump regu-
lator.

Remove rotor seals

If worn seals are removed from the rotor housing
with a mandrel or a marking tool, the edges or
groove boards in the rotor housing might be dam-
aged.
This can be prevented by using a bracket made of

welding wire 4 mm, against which the mandrel is
supported as the seals are lifted out.

8.5.2 Pressure cut-off

On each main pump a pressure cut-off valve is
installed. The pressure cut-off is activated as soon
as the system pressure reaches its max. level of
300 bar for the cylinder functions and 360 bar for
the travel function.
The pressure cut-off valve is mounted on the
regulator of the main pump. It is opened under
system pressure and the pump then de-strokes to
such a reduced flow that only the pressure in the
system is maintained.

- Because the piston sides of the stick

gauge on port (15.1) always registers the
pressure of the valve with the lower set-

valves to have a higher setting.

5. Fit scrapers (14 + 15, Fig. 20). 7. Place guard sleeve (C, Fig. 23) over thread of
piston rod.
6. Before fitting the guide, coat scrapers, seal and
guide rings with hydraulic oil. The sleeve protects the seal and guide rings in
the rod guide against being damaged on the
rod threads.
If a guard sleeve is not available, wrap adhe-

sive tape around the rod threads.

Fig. 25 Rod puller
4. Remove plastic guide rings (24, Fig. 26), OK

piston seal (23) and guard rings (25).
The cast iron ring (26, Fig. 26) often shows

minor signs of use but without any measurable
wear (less than 0.1 mm). In such a case, the
ring can be used again. Cast iron rings are diffi-
cult to remove and the risk of piston damage is
high. The rings should therefore only be re-
moved with special pliers (Fig. 27).

Cleanliness is of prime importance.
Use only fibre-free cloths and rags

cylinder rod guide (Fig. 22).
If the scraper (20) is separately installed it is

the rod guide (Fig. 24).

6. Before fitting the guide, coat scrapers, seal and
guide rings with hydraulic oil. The sleeve protects the seal and guide rings in
the rod guide against being damaged on the
rod threads.
If a guard sleeve is not available, wrap adhe-

sive tape around the rod threads.

The cast iron ring (26, Fig. 28) often shows

minor signs of use but without any measurable
wear (less than 0.1 mm). In such a case, the
ring can be used again. Cast iron rings are diffi-
cult to remove and the risk of piston damage is
high. The rings should therefore only be re-
moved with special pliers (Fig. 29).

5. Using rod puller (D, Fig. 27), lift piston rod and
lower fully into the cylinder barrel.
3. Fit seal ring (21.2, Fig. 34) into OK piston seal.
6. Install rod guide and rod head (see chapter
8.8.3.4).
4. Brush hydraulic oil onto seal, guide and guard

rings. Push sleeve (E, Fig. 35) over the piston
to fix seal and guide rings in position.
