PRECAUTION FOR MAINTENANCE

2.5.3

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE FLUID

WARNING
FLUID UNDER HIGH PRESSURE!
The hydraulic system is always under internal pressure and can lead to serious injury when leaking.
When inspecting or replacing piping or hoses, always check that the pressure in the hydraulic circuit has
been released.

2.5.3.1 PRECAUTIONS WITH HIGH FUEL PRESSURE

For details of the method of releasing the pressure, see the


latest version of the Operation and Maintenance Manual. If
the circuit is still under pressure, do not carry out any inspection or replacement operation.

If there is any leakage from the piping or hoses, the surrounding area will be wet, so check for cracks in the piping and
hoses and for swelling in the hoses.

When carrying out inspections, wear full-face protection and


penetration resistant clothing and gloves (leather).

There is a hazard that high-pressure oil leaking from small


holes may penetrate your skin or cause blindness if it contacts your eyes directly (Fig. 3-47). If you are hit by a jet of
high-pressure oil and suffer injury to your skin or eyes, wash
the place with clean water, and consult a doctor immediately
for medical attention.

Fig. 3-47

High pressure is generated inside the engine fuel piping when the engine is running. When carrying out inspection
or maintenance of the fuel piping system, wait for at least 30 seconds after stopping the engine to let the internal
pressure go down before starting inspection or maintenance.

2.5.3.2 HANDLING HIGH PRESSURES HOSES OR PIPES

If oil or fuel leaks from high-pressure hoses, it may cause fire or defective operation, which may lead to serious
injury. If any loose bolts are found, stop work and tighten to the specified torque. If any damaged hoses are
found, stop operations immediately and contact your Komatsu distributor.

Replace the hose if any of the following problems are found.

Damaged or leaking hydraulic fitting.

Frayed or cut covering or exposed reinforcement wire layer.

Covering swollen in places.

Twisted or crushed movable portion.

Foreign material embedded in covering.

2.5.3.3 REPLACEMENT OF HOSE LINES


Hydraulic hoses are subjected to natural aging. Hence, their usable lifetime is limited to maximum 6 years.

NOTICE
The maximum permissible storage time of hydraulic hoses must be observed.

2 - 36

SAFETY

PRECAUTION FOR MAINTENANCE

This storage period is part of the usable lifetime and must be considered when installing a new hose line. If, for
example, a hose line with a one year storage time is to be installed, the remaining service life of the hose line
must be considered. All hose lines are marked with the date of production.

Hose lines considered as Safety Critical Parts have to be replaced earlier. Refer to the chapter "Lubrication
and Maintenance Schedule" in the MAINTENANCE section of the Operation and Maintenance Manual for further information.

All hydraulic hoses of the Shovel have to be replaced when their service life has expired, even if there is no visible
damage. Refer to the chapter "Lubrication and Maintenance Schedule" in the MAINTENANCE section of the
Operation and Maintenance Manual for further information.

NOTICE
Repairs on hydraulic hoses are not allowed. Use ONLY GENUINE Komatsu Mining Germany replacement
hose lines.

2.5.3.4 INSPECTION OF HOSE LINES

WARNING
FLUID UNDER HIGH PRESSURE!
The hydraulic system is always under internal pressure and can lead to serious injury when leaking.
When inspecting or replacing piping or hoses, always check that the pressure in the hydraulic circuit has
been released.

Inspect all hoses, hose lines and fittings carefully during the course of the daily walk-around inspection. Check for
leaks and damages. Beware of pinhole leakages. Replace damaged parts without delay.
Some examples of faults on hydraulic hoses requiring replacement of the concerned part:

Damage to the outer layer (e.g. chafed spots, cuts or scratches).

Brittle top layers. Flaws on the hose material

Distortion of the hose line (strong deviation from the original shape) under pressurized and pressureless conditions or when kinked or crushed, e.g. disintegration of hose layers or blistering.

Leaks.

Detachment of hose and fitting. Damaged hose fitting.

2.5.3.5 PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS


To ensure safety at all times when operating the machine, the user of the machine must always carry out periodic
maintenance. In addition, to further improve safety, the user should also carry out periodic replacement of the parts
given in the table. These parts are particularly closely connected to safety and fire prevention.
With these parts, the material changes as time passes, or they easily wear or deteriorate. However, it is difficult to
judge the condition of the parts simply by periodic maintenance, so they should always be replaced after a fixed
time has passed, regardless of their condition. This is necessary to ensure that they always maintain their function
completely. However, if these parts show any abnormality before the replacement interval has passed, they should
be repaired or replaced immediately.
If the hose clamps show any deterioration, such as deformation or cracking, replace the clamps at the same time
as the hoses.
When replacing the hoses, always replace the O-rings, gaskets, and other such parts at the same time.

2 - 37

PRECAUTION FOR MAINTENANCE

SAFETY

Ask your Komatsu distributor to replace safety critical parts.

2.5.3.6 PRECAUTIONS FOR HIGH VOLTAGE

15. When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring,
always leave two bolts in position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then
slowly loosen the bolts to remove.
16. When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring, Damaged
wiring may cause electrical fires.
17. When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips on to
the floor, wipe it up immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can
even start fires.
18. As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash parts.
19. Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places. Replace any damaged part
with new parts.
When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact with
other parts when the machine is being operated.
20. When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes
are dangerous, so be extremely careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits.
Also check that connecting parts are correctly installed.
21. When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When
installing protective parts such as guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high
speed, be particularly careful to check that they are installed correctly.
22. When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your
fingers caught in a hole.
23. When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled
before taking any measurements.
24. Take care when removing or installing the tracks of track-type machines. When removing
the track, the track separates suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either end of the track.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Environment NOTICE

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION


AND MAINTENANCE OF HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS

OPERATION

Avoid operation against the main relief valves of the hydraulic system. Move control
lever to neutral position before the loader attachment stalls due to overload.

Position trucks in such a way, that loading operation can be carried out in a safe and
economic manner. Avoid swing angles over 90.

MAINTENANCE

Preserve our environment. To prevent environmental pollution, pay careful attention to


the method of disposing waste materials.
Always drain fluids from your machine into containers. Never drain fluids onto the
ground or dump it into the sewage system, rivers, the sea or lakes.
Dispose of harmful material, such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters and batteries in
accordance with environmental regulations and laws.

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
HOISTING
Heavy parts (25 kg or more) must be lifted with a hoist etc.

If a part cannot be smoothly removed from the machine by hoisting,


the following checks should be made:
1. Check for removal of all bolts fastening the part to the relative
parts.
2. Check for existence of another part causing interface with the part
to be removed.

WIRE ROPES
1. Use adequate ropes depending on the weight of parts to be hoisted, referring to
the table below:
Wire ropes
(Standard "Z" or "S" twist ropes without galvanizing)

Rope diameter
[mm]

10,0

11,2 12,5 14,0 16,0 18,0 20,0 22,4 30,0 40,0 50,0 60,0

1,4

1,6

2,2

2,8

3,6

4,4

5,6

10,0 18,0 28,0 40,0

The allowable load value is estimated to be 1/6 or 1/7 of the breaking


strength of the rope used.

2. Sling wire ropes from the middle portion of the hook. Slinging near the edge
of the hook may cause the rope to slip off the hook during hoisting, and a
serious accident can result. Hooks have maximum strength at the middle
portion.

continued
Cont'd:
00-5

FOREWORD

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

WIRE ROPES
3. Do not sling a heavy load with one rope alone, but sling with two or more
ropes symmetrically wound on to the load.
Slinging with one rope may cause turning of the load during hoisting,
untwisting of the rope, or slipping of the rope from its original
winding position on the load, which can result in a dangerous
accident.
4. Do not sling a heavy load with ropes forming a wide hanging angle from the
hook. When hoisting a load with two or more ropes, the force subjected to
each rope will increase with the hanging angles. The table below shows the
variation of allowable load (kg) when hoisting is made with two ropes, each of
which is allowed to sling up to 1000 kg vertically, at various hanging angles.
When two ropes sling a load vertically, up to 2000 kg of total weight can be
suspended. This weight becomes 1000 kg when two ropes make a 120
hanging angle. On the other hand, two ropes are subject to an excessive force
as large as 4000 kg if they sling a 2000 kg load at a lifting angle of 150.

CONVERSION TABLE

CONVERSION TABLE
METHOD OF USING THE CONVERSION TABLE
The Conversion Table in this section is provided to enable simple conversion of
figures. For details of the method of using the Conversion Table, see the example
given below.
EXAMPLE
Method of using the Conversion Table to convert from millimeters to inches.
1. Convert 55 mm into inches.
(a) Locate the number 5 in the vertical column at the left side, take this as (A),
then draw a horizontal line from (A).
(b) Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as (B), then draw a
perpendicular line down from (B).
(c) Take the point where the two lines cross as (C). This point (C) gives the
value
when
converting
from
millimeters
to
inches.
Therefore, 55 millimeters = 2.165 inches.
2. Convert 550 mm into inches.
(a) The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide by 10 (move the
decimal one place to the left) to convert it to 55 mm.
(b) Carry out the same procedure as above to convert 55 mm to 2.165 inches.
(c) The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply 2.165 inches
by 10 (move the decimal one place to the right) to return to the original
value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65 inches.

TEMPERATURE
Fahrenheit Centigrade Conversion; a simple way to convert a Fahrenheit
temperature reading into a Centigrade temperature reading or vise versa is to enter
the accompanying table in the center or boldface column of figures.
These figures refer to the temperature in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade degrees.
If it is desired to convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade degrees, consider the
center column as a table of Fahrenheit temperatures and read the corresponding
Centigrade temperature in the column at the left.
If it is desired to convert from Centigrade to Fahrenheit degrees, consider the
center column as a table of Centigrade values, and read the corresponding
Fahrenheit temperature on the right.

drive flange (4) with the output drive hub (3) of the coupling.
Function:
The high flexible LULASTICL coupling transfers the torque without any
rotational gap. They are wear-resisting and maintenance free. Because of
symmetrical arrangement of the flexible rings, there are no returning forces
either by the torque transfer or the centrifugal forces.
VULASTIC-L couplings dampen rotating vibrations, reducing same by
partial storing of the shock energy and damp noises.
The coupling allows in an acceptable range axial, radial and angular
misalignment of the shafts.

Repair and replacement have to be carried out according to Parts &


Service News AH01523, last edition.

Description
The pump distribution gear (PTO gear) is of a spur gear design and driven by
an electric motor.
The PTO gear runs in antifriction bearings and has been provided with a splash
lubrication system. The oil supply of the bearings and tooth contacts takes
place by an injection. The gearwheels are of case-hardened steel.
The hydraulic pumps are directly attached to the gearbox. O-rings included in
the supply enable the unit to be reliably sealed statically.
The gearbox housing is of one-piece design and made of grey cast iron. Gearbox
design allows a direct attachment to the drive motor via connection flange.
The gearbox has been provided with connections for a separate cooling system
resp. for heating rods. For more information refer to the REPAIR MANUAL
Description for the lubrication see next pages.

All drive shaft housings are filled with the same gear oil as the pump
distributor gear.
This is done for two reasons:
1. To lubricate the multi-spline connections, to prevent wear and corrosion.
2. It makes it easier to determine a sealring leak at one of the drive shaft
connections.
Function:
If the oil level increases the oil drops out of the breather pipe (1).
If this oil is gear oil it indicates a possible leak at the gearbox side.
If the oil is a mixture of gear oil and hydraulic oil it shows a possible
leak at the pump side.
If at an oil level check a loss of oil is found it may be due to worn or
defective radial seal rings.

PTO Lubrication and cooling


The machine is equipped with two motors and gearboxes. The motor to the front
is called motor 1 and the motor close to the counter weight is called motor 2. The
extension of the component designation shows the mounted position. Example:
Pressure filter (69.1) is the pressure filter for the PTO lubrication of motor 1 and
(69.2) for motor 2.

Function:
Pump (9.2)/(9.4) forces the gear oil from the gear oil pan through filter
(69.1)/(69.2) to pressure relief valve (74.1)/(74.2). This pressure relief valve acts
as a back pressure valve causing that most of the oil passes through the gear oil
coolers (117.1)/(117.2).
The gear oil coolers are assemblies consisting of frame, cooler element, hydraulic
motor with intake air fan and fan guard. The units are located below the catwalk
in front of the PTOs.
From the coolers the oil flows to the port (P) of the gear and internally via a
system of pipes to the several spray nozzles. The spray nozzles in the gear case
ensure proper and adequate distribution of the lube oil. The circuit is monitored
by the pressure switches (B17-1)/(B17-2). At too low lube oil pressure (0.5 bar), a
fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash board.
The gear oil temperature is monitored by the sensor unit (B49-1) (B49-2). At too
high oil temperature a fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash
board.
During the warm up period solenoid valve (Y201-1) / (Y201-2) is de-energized so
that the oil flow through the cooler is interrupted, which causes that the oil gets
quicker its optimum operating temperature.
At normal operating temperature solenoid valve (Y201-1/Y201-2) is energized and
opens the oil flow through the oil coolers.

Task:
The strainer (monitored by differential pressure switch B165) is installed to
prevent the hydraulic oil coolers from getting clogged up in case of
contamination in the main return circuit oil.
Excessive increase of the hydraulic oil temperature can be an indication for a
restricted strainer, i.e. bad cooling performance due to insufficient oil flow
through the coolers.
In case that main components such as cylinders or motors are internal
fragmentary damaged, the strainer should be inspected for metal chips.

Task:
The back pressure valve has to fulfill two functions in the hydraulic system:
1. To ensure a sufficient pressure within the return oil circuit, i.e. to supply
oil via the anticavitaton valves to the low pressure side of cylinders,
respectively motors.
2. To force the return oil through the coolers depending on the present
hydraulic oil temperature, controlled by solenoid valve Y101.
- Low temperature low volume through the coolers
- High temperature high volume through the coolers

Necessary for filter service and for hydraulic oil change.
2 - Transfusing oil from return oil collector tube and back-pressure valve
pipe into main oil reservoir. Necessary when changing the hydraulic oil
and prior to servicing the high pressure filters, the main control valves,
or hydraulic oil cooler (oil return system).
3 - Transfusing oil from the suction oil reservoir into the main oil reservoir.
Necessary for evacuation of the suction oil reservoir, when changing
the hydraulic oil. Prior servicing the main hydraulic pumps it is
advisable to empty the suction oil reservoir partially.

During normal operation the valves (1, 2 and 3) must be in closed


position C.
Refer to the operation and maintenance manual, for further
information.

Function:
The returning oil flows into the filter chamber (A) of the hydraulic tank. (The
sketch shows one section only).
The chamber is split into two sections; one section with 4 filter elements for the
return oil (10 micron) and another section with one filter element for the leak oil
(3 micron). But the structure of the five filter assemblies is basically the same.
The hydraulic oil enters the filter at the top and passes then on its way to the
entire tank the filter-element (7). "Inside to outside filtration."
The filter element condition is monitored by a pressure switch (B25, 0.5 bar for
the leak oil filter) and (B26, 2 bar for the return oil filter).
As soon as the pressure inside the filter chamber reaches the set pressure of those
switches due to the restriction of the filter-element which is caused by foreign
matters, the fault message Return oil filter restricted" or Leak oil filter
restricted is displayed at the operator's dash board The filter elements must be
replaced. For safety pre-cautions the filter is equipped with a by-pass valve. As
the filter chamber pressure increases the by-pass valve opens at 2.3 bar and
protects the element from bursting.
But the oil flows not totally unfiltered into the tank because it must flow through
the strainer (8).

The switch point of the pressure switch for the leak oil has been
chosen so low with best intention to protect first of all the radial seal
rings of the hydraulic motors.

Design:
The hydraulic oil cooler, installed in front of the hydraulic tank is divided in
two parts:
A. The standard cooler assembly (1) with eight cooler elements mounted
in one frame. The air stream needed for the cooling is produced by
hydraulically driven fans. The air flows from inside to outside through
the coolers.
For easy cleaning, the coolers can be opened. ("Swing out cooler")
The bearing group housing is filled with oil to lubricate the bearings.
B. Additional oil cooler assembly (2) with two cooler elements mounted in
one frame on top of the standard cooler assembly. The air stream needed
for the cooling is produced by hydraulically driven fans. The air flows
from inside to outside through the coolers.
For easy cleaning, the coolers can be opened. ("Swing out cooler")

(H)
Lines to cooler (hot oil)
(C)
Lines to tank (cold oil)
Function:
The returning oil from the system flows via the lines into the collector tube.
On the top of it is the Back Pressure Valve (26) installed.
The back pressure valve (26) causes a back pressure which forces most of the
relative hot oil through the lines (H) to the cooler (106.1 106.8).
The hydraulic oil passes first the restrictors (107.1 107.4) before it gets
cooled in the cooler elements and flows than through and the lines (C) into
the filter chamber of the main oil reservoir (96).
The restrictors are acting like shock absorbers and prevent together with the
pulsation damper (93) cooler cracking at pressure peaks.
Besides the back pressure valve acts as an oil flow control valve as far as the
oil temperature has not reached its steady temperature.
During the warm up period (1/2 Qmax) the back pressure valve (26) is wide
open, because solenoid valve Y101 is energized, which results in less oil flow
through the cooler which causes that the oil gets quicker its optimum
operating temperature.
With increasing oil temperature the oil gets thinner, so that the main pumps
can be shifted to Qmax position and simultaneously solenoid valve Y101 will
be de-energized, so that the valve piston will be more closed by the force of
the spring thus that more oil passes the cooler.

Function:
Oil delivery of both fan drive pumps (10.1+10.3) is directed to the additional cooler
elements (151.1+151.2) after leaving the four fan drive motors (103.3+103.4 and
152.1+152.2) and flows back into the filter chamber of the main oil reservoir (96).
This ensures that a constant oil volume circulates through the additional cooler,
independent of the main return oil flow.

Qmax adjustment
For efficient hydraulic oil cooling during idle time all pumps are automatically in
Qmax position reducing the circulating oil volume so that oil flows only
through the oil coolers. If all pumps would stay in Qmax position during idle time
a high amount of the circulating oil would pass the back pressure valve before
returning in the oil tank this would waste energy and create adverse high oil
temperatures.
Before Qmax adjustment is made the back pressure valve must be
correct adjusted with all pumps in Qmax position and hydraulic oil
at operating temperature.
All main pumps must be correctly adjusted i.e. start of de-stroking
and Qmax stop bolt setting. See section 7 in this Service Manual for
adjustment procedure.
Precondition

The actual PLC software with Qmax idle control must run on the PLC.

Make sure that the filled in hydraulic oil viscosity is selected at the PLC.
See Operation and Maintenance Manual to select the oil viscosity.

Connect a pressure gauge to back pressure check point (M15).


Connect a pressure gauges to the X3 pressure check point (M36).
Start both motors (both diesel engines must run at high idle)
Warm up hydraulic oil so that the hydraulic oil cooler fans run with
maximum speed, controlled by the PLC (oil temperature above T3).
With all controls in neutral position the pumps should move in Qmax
position, because of the de-energised solenoid valve Y17a.
Unplug solenoid valve Y17a to keep the valve de-energised.
Check the X3 pressure at test point M36 in the Qmax position of the
pumps. The pressure indicated on the gauge should be 155 bar.

a) Loosen lock nut.
b) Correct the pressure with the set screw.

- turn counter clock wise (ccw) to decrease the pressure
c) Tighten lock nut.

Increase pump delivery by increasing the X3 pressure setting of pressure


reducing valve (255.4) which in turn increases the back pressure. As
soon as the gauge (M15) shows 10 bar (equal to back pressure valve
setting) stop adjustment.
Check the resulting X3 pressure at test point M36 and record it for later
checks, the values must be distinctly lower as the max X3 pressure (45
bar).
Check the back pressure after activating a control lever or activate Qmax
switch S155. The pumps change now to Qmax but the back pressure
must stay constant at 10 bar (check point M15).
Turn switch S155 back to normal operating position (center position) and
remove all gauges.

Function:
From pump (10.1 + 10.3) flows the oil through the filter (68.2 + 68.4) to the fan
motors (23.1 + 23.2) and then back to the tank. (or through additional cooler if
installed)
The check valve (103.3 + 103.4) act as an anti cavitation valve and is installed,
because the fan motor -driven by inertial force- is running for a short period after the
oil flow is inerrupted by solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 / -2), or if the motor has been
switched off.
The hydraulic circuit "Fan drive" is protected by the pilot controlled pressure relief
valves (45.1 + 45.2) and (48.1 + 48.2).
These valves are working together with the solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 / -2), controlled
by the ECS - system, depending on the hydraulic oil temperature:
With de-energized solenoids Y6a and Y6b the relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) is
functioning and the fans are running with max. adjusted speed (1250 RPM)
With solenoid Y6a energized the relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) is not functioning
and the fans are running with a very low speed caused by the flow resistance
only.
With solenoid Y6b energized the relief valve (48.1 + 48.2) is controlling the
relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) and the fans are running with 1000 RPM only.

Function:
Pressure in line A affects the main piston (7). At the same time there is pressure
via the jet bore (6) on the spring-loaded side of the main piston and via jet bore (5)
at the pilot poppet (9) of the relief valve cartridge (1).
If system pressure in line A exceeds the value set at the spring (2), pilot poppet (9)
opens. The signal for this comes from line A via the jet bores (6) and (5).
The oil on the spring-loaded side of the main piston (7) now flows via the jet bore
(5) and poppet (9) into the spring chamber (3).
From here it is fed internally by means of the control line (Y) to tank (port B).
Due to the state of equilibrium at the main piston (7), oil flows from line A to line
B, while the set operating pressure is maintained.
The pressure relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) can be unloaded (Remote controlled) by
means of the port "X" and the combined function of solenoid valve Y6a/b-1 / -2
with pressure relief valve 48.1 + 48.2 .( Function see next page)

Contd.

Function:
With de-energized solenoids (Y6a and Y6b), the spool (3) keeps the "X"
connection of valve (45.1 + 45.2) and port B to port P closed. The pressure relief
valve (45.1 + 45.2) operates normal.
The energized solenoid Y6b, operate the spool (3) and a connection is made
between port P and port B and port "X" of valve (45.1 + 45.2).
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (45.1 + 45.2), because
via solenoid Y6b (P to B) the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows from the "X"port to the P connection of valve (48.1 + 48.2). The normal valve function is now
remote controlled by the pressure adjusted at valve (48.1 + 48.2).
The energized solenoid Y6a, operate the spool (3) and a connection is made
between port P and port A and port "X" of relief valve (45.1 + 45.2).
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (45.1 + 45.2) because
via the "X"-port the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows to tank. The normal
relief valve function is eliminated.

Description.
Pump type A7F0 is a variable displacement pump, designed to operate in open
circuits. It has an internal case drain return. The rotary group is a robust self
aspirating unit. External forces may be applied to the drive shaft.
Changing the swivel angle of the rotary group is achieved by sliding the
control lens along a cylindrical formed track by means of an adjusting screw.
With an increase in the swivel angel, the pump output increase together
with necessary drive torque.
With an decrease in the swivel angel, the pump output decreases together
with the necessary drive torque.

When increasing to maximum swivel angle, there is a danger of


cavitation and over-speeding the hydraulic motor!

Basic adjustment has to be carried out whenever one of the following


components has been replaced:
- pump
- relief valve
- hydraulic motor
1. Reduce the output flow of pump (10.1 and/or 10.2), by adjusting the
minimum possible swivel angle, to avoid over speeding the fan:
To do this, loosen both lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1) and turn out bolt (6)
and turn in bolt (7) the same length.
This is necessary to avoid a loose positioning pin (10), resulting in
oscillating of the cylinder barrel.
Tighten the lock nuts.
2. Remove protection cap (a) from relief valve (45.1 and/or 45.2), loosen lock
nut (b) and turn set screw (c) fully clockwise and then a half turn counter
clockwise.
3. Isolate the function of solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 and/or Y6a/b-2), by
disconnecting both plug connectors, to ensure that the full flow of pump
10.1 and/or 10.2 will be delivered to the fan motor.

Function of the cooler fan RPM control


Since the oil delivery of the fan drive pumps (10.1 + 10.3) is used for the standard
fan motors 23.1 + 23.2 and for the additional fan motors 152.1 + 152.2, the speed
of the additional fans depends on the speed control of the standard fans.
Therefore only the maximum speed of the additional fans can be adjusted with the
cooler standard fans running at maximum speed.
The maximum speed adjustment of the additional fans must be carried out to
ensure the intended cooling performance of the system.

4.5.2

Adjustment of the cooler fan drive speed


Precondition for this adjustment is the correct setting of the standard
cooler fan drive.
Procedure:
1.
Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M21-3 and/or M21-4).
2.
Unplug solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 and/or Y6a/b-2). to ensure max.
speed of the standard fan drive.
3.
Start the respective motor.
4.
Adjust* at valve (154.1 and/or 154.2.3) a fan speed of approx. 1550 rpm.
5.
Re-plug solenoid valve (Y6.1 and/or Y6.2).
Be careful not to get caught in the fan or other rotating parts!

How to change the valve adjustment:


Remove dust cap (a).
Loosen lock nut (b).
Adjust the pressure with set screw (c).
Tighten lock nut and install dust cap.

General
The controlling includes the pilot pressure system and the pump regulation
system.
The pumps (9.1 / 9.3) forcing the oil through the filters (68.1 / 68.7) to all
involved valves.
The pressure accumulator (85) ensures that under any circumstances enough
pilot pressure oil is available. The accumulator (85) is also functioning as a
hydraulic battery for a certain time when the engine was shut down or to
pressure relieve the system for repair works.
When the operator is using his controls an electrical signal causes energizing
of the selected solenoid valve of the remote control valves(102).
By the function of the remote control valves pilot pressure oil is send to the
relevant control block spools which in turn allows operating hydraulic oil to
the users.

Pilot Pressure Supply and Adjustments


Pilot Pressure Circuit, illustration (Z 22747)
The pilot pressure oil is used for the following functions.
To move the control block spools, to supply the main pump regulation system, to
lubricate the main pump bearings, to release the travel- and swing gear house
brakes (spring loaded multi disk brakes), to operate the hydraulic access ladder, to
drive the grease pumps and to supply the hydraulic track tensioning system.

Function: Study together with the hydraulic circuit diagram


The pumps (9.1 + 9.3) are delivering the oil through the filters (68.1 + 68.7) and
via check valves (252.3 + 252.4) to port A of pressure relief valve (252.2).
The pressure relief valve (252.2) maintains the adjusted pressure of 60 bar, called
X4-pressure.
X4 - pressure: Pump support pressure
Pump bearing lubrication
Actuation of refilling arm and ladder
Lubrication system
The pressure reducing valve (252.1) maintains the adjusted pressure of 45 bar,
called X2-pressure.
X2 pressure: Pilot pressure system
Pump regulation system
Travel- and Swing parking brakes (spring loaded multi -disk
brakes)
The pressure accumulator (85) holds an amount of oil under pressure to provide
sufficient pilot pressure during normal operation and to ensure a limited number
of lowering operations with the main drive motor at standstill.
The check valve (256.6) prevents return flow of the pilot pressure oil.

Leak / return oil line from the remote control blocks

Function:
The pilot pressure oil flows via line (PX2) to port (P) of each remote control
block and is present via a gallery at all proportional and directional solenoid
valves.
These solenoid valves are energized by the function of the Electro
proportional controls (Joy sticks or pedals) and direct the pilot pressure oil to
the respective spools of the main control blocks with a variable pilot pressure
proportional to the deflection of the controls.

For the location and designation of the proportional and directional


solenoid valves of the remote control blocks refer to page 9 in this
section.

Read pressure, required = 60-2 bar
If readjustment is required proceed as follow:
a) Loosen lock nut (1).
b) Set pressure with set screw (2).
c) Tighten lock nut (1).
45 bar pressure X2, valve 252.1:
1.
Connect pressure gauge to check point (M1.2)
2.
Start both motors.
3.
Read pressure, required = 45+3 bar
If readjustment is required proceed as follow:
a) Loosen lock nut (3).
b) Set pressure with set screw (4).
c) Tighten lock nut (3).
Checking of Accumulator Function
1.
Connect pressure gauge to check point (M2).
2.
Start both motors.
3.
After build-up of pressure stop the drive motors, but do not turn the
key switch to zero position.
4.
Watch pressure gauge. Pressure should remain constant for at
least 5 minutes.

If the pressure droops the system must be checked for leakages.

Control lever (Potentiometer control)
Function:
The electric-hydraulic control system is used to control the direction and
volume of oil flow to the operating cylinders and motors via the control valve
blocks.
Hydraulically:
The oil volume of pump (1) flows through filter (2) into the pilot pressure
system. The pressure is limited by the pressure relief valve (3).
With the pressurized oil stored in accumulator (5), a limited number of spool
movements can be carried out with the main drive motor at standstill.
When a lever (or pedal) is actuated, proportional solenoid valve (8) and one
of the directional solenoid valves (either 6 or 7) are energized, and allows the
pilot pressure oil to flow to the spools of the control blocks.
Electrical
Whenever a lever or a pedal is moved out of its neutral position, an amplifier
will created a current between 0 and 1000 mA. (For detailed information refer
to page 10 in this section)
Depending on the lever direction, simultaneously one of the directional
solenoid valves (either 6 or 7) is energized.
The proportional solenoid valve alters the pilot pressure, proportional to the
lever deflection, this results a spool movement between neutral and full
stroke position.

Control block spool
General Function
Control lever (1) is supplied with 24 VDC battery voltage for the switch contacts
and with 24 VDC capacitor supported to create the signal voltage.
When moving lever (1) out of its neutral position, 24 VDC battery voltage arrives
at relay (5) and energizes the Proportional Amplifier (4) with capacitor
supported 24 VDC via terminal 1.
Depending on the function of the control lever, 1 to 4 Amplifiers can be involved
for the Y-axis (forward/ backwards direction) and 1 to 4 Amplifiers for the Xaxis (left/right direction.)
The polarity of the Output Signal from joystick (1), either positive or negative,
between 0 and 10 VDC indicates the direction of the lever movement and is
proportional to the lever deflection. This is the Input Signal to the ramp time
module (3) at terminal 5 which will arrive after the adjusted ramp time delay via
terminal 7 to the proportional amplifier (4) at terminal 5.
This Input Signal (between 0 and 10 VDC) is amplified to an Output Signal
between 0 to 1000 mA and is send via terminal 7 (negative) or terminal 8
(positive) to the Proportional Solenoid valve (6) . Simultaneous a 24V signal is
send to the Directional solenoid valve (7) via terminal 3 (negative) or terminal 9
(positive) to the a or b-side.
The proportional Solenoid valve (6) alters the pilot pressure (X2) of 45 bar to a
value proportional to the Current Signal.
This pressure controls the movement of the control block spool (8) between
neutral and full stroke position.

* Alternative application
The non-contacting lever control (inductive linear transmitter) contains both
the electronic and mechanical components which converts the lever
movement into a proportional electrical voltage. The lever can be operate in
two axes:
Axis "Y", splitted into the half axis Y- and Y + (backward and forward)
Axis "X", splitted into the half axis X- and X + (left and right)
Of course the lever can be moved in any other direction (Joy stick function)
In order to be able to monitor the direction of the lever movement and the
neutral position, the electronics (8) sends a 24V signal as soon as the lever
gets moved out of its neutral position.
For one axis are used two inductive linear transmitter (3). The motion of the
coil core (9) connected to the push pin (6) causes a variation of the induction
in the coils (10). The electronics convert this inductive signal into a
proportional output signal of 10...0...+10 V for the amplifiers.
The electronic part of the lever is equipped with a internal fault detector. In
case of a internal electronic fault the electronic send a 24V signal to the test
output. The test input is used for a lever system check before engine start.
The inductive system is designed as a redundant system with two separate
coils.

(C)
Travelling
The Potentiometer Control (inductive, linear travel transmitter) contains both
the electronic and mechanical components which converts the pedal movement
into a proportional electrical voltage.
In order to be able to electrically monitor the pedal (2) action a neutral position
switch is fitted.
This switch closes when the pedal is moved out of the rest position.
When using the double unit (B) (combined operation) only the signal output from
one unit is used for the Clam Operation.
Due to the cross lined connection via the connection cable (4) the signal is once
positive and once negative (inverted), depending on the Pedal used.
In order to be able to monitor the direction of the pedal movement and the neutral
position of travel unit (C), two switches (5 and 6) are fitted; which are actuated by
the actuator (4) as soon as the lever gets moved out of its neutral position.
For the Output Signal generation are used two coils (3.1), in series connected. The
push pin motion causes a variation of the induction and this in turn causes a signal
variation at the AC voltage bridge. The AC voltage gets rectified and becomes the
DC-Signal Voltage for the amplifiers.

The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids. Depending on the input polarity, either solenoid
A or solenoid B is operated.
The solenoid current (solenoid A - solenoid B) is measured and compared
with the external input value. Differences between feed-back and input
values, for example caused by changes in solenoid temperature or supply
voltage, are compensated.
The module also generates a direction-dependent voltage signal (solenoid A solenoid B) as soon as the solenoid current reaches the lowest set value.
The lowest and highest values are set externally via the potentiometer R1 + R2.
The brightness of the LED's changes with the current.
This function should not be used for setting.

Proportional Amplifier Module, Type B


Legend for illustration (Z 21640)
Type B (for Boom, Stick, Bucket, Clam, Swing and Travel)
(LED)
(P) Set Potentiometer:
AX: Proportional output AX active
- 10% for the lowest current value
AS: Switched output AS active
- J2 for the highest current value
BX: Proportional output BX active (Pt) Set Potentiometer for the Ramp
BS: Switched output BS active
Time
Power: Internal supply voltage
Fault: Fault indication
The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids and two directional solenoids. The amplifier
outputs for proportional solenoids Ax and Bx and the switched outputs As
and Bs are activated by connecting a minimum of approx. 10% signal voltage
at the amplifier input.
A positive signal voltage controls outputs A, a negative signal voltage
controls output B.
A signal voltage of approx. 10% with respect to +/- 10 V input voltage at the
amplifier, produces a stepped output voltage. The height of this 10% jump
may be set separately for proportional outputs Ax and Bx via external
potentiometer. As the signal voltage rises the solenoid current for the
proportional outputs increases linearly.
A further step in output current occurs at approx. 90% signal voltage.
The maximum current or the 90% jump may be set separately for outputs Ax
and Bx via external potentiometers and hence the gradient of the output curve
may be influenced.
LED`s indicate the current output to each proportional and switched output,
whereby the brightness is approx. proportional to the solenoid current in Ax
and Bx. This function should not be used for setting.
A Ramp Time function is included in the amplifier which may be externally
changed by a set potentiometer. The setting range for the ramp time is
approx. from 80ms to 1s. The time setting applies to both up and down ramps
and to both proportional solenoids.
A fault is indicated by the LED Fault.

General
The Ramp Time Module is snapped onto mounting rails inside the X2-box.
The electrical connection is done via screw terminals.
The module is operated with 24 VDC. A power supply provides the internally
required positive and negative supply voltages.
As soon as the power supply is in operation the green LED (power) lights up.
Internal command values
The internal command value signal is generated from the external command
value signal which is being applied to the differential input, a called-up signal
and an offset signal (zero point potentiometer "Z").
The external command value signal can, via potentiometer "G", changed from
0% to approx. 110%.
Command value call-ups
The call-up signals w1 to w4 also have an adjustment range of 0% to 110%.
No settings required. (factory set to 100%).
Ramp time call up
If the quadrant recognition is not activated, then each command value call-up
"w1" to "w4" is allocated its own ramp time "t1" to "t4".
As long as there is a signal change, the LED allocated to the actual ramp time
is alight.

Introduction:
The illustration shows simplified the route of the signal voltage from
Potentiometer Control (1) to Solenoid-Valve (5):
A.
With ramp time module,
i.e. Boom,- Stick,- Travel,- and Swing Function.
B.
Without ramp time module,
i.e. Bucket,- Clam,- and Swing Brake Function.
The ramp time modules (3) and the amplifiers (4) are adjustable.
Adjustments are required:
Ramp time modules
When commissioning the machine
When replacing a module

Amplifiers
When replacing a solenoid valve
When replacing an amplifier

For Checking and Setting the Signal Current at the Proportional-Amplifier (4),
both separating terminal (2) before and behind the Amplifier (4) must be opened.
For the setting procedure the signal voltage from the potentiometer control (1) can
be simulated with the potentiometer of Service-Module (6),which is installed on
the X2-panel.
Accessories required for the adjustments:
a) A multimeter, good readable for
values between 0 and 1000 mA.
b) More convenient is a second meter
for reading voltage simultaneously.
c) A simple wire, 1m length, or better
a prepared test lead same length
d) Four test leads, 1m length, with
banana type connectors on each
end.

5.11 Adjusting the Amplifiers Type B, illustration (Z 21642)


Procedure applicable for all amplifiers except the one for the swing
brake:
(Do not start the motor, turn only the key switch in ON position.)
1.
Open* the respective separating terminal (T1) between the lever unit and
the amplifier module to be set.
2.
Open* the respective separating terminal (T2) between the amplifier module
to be set and the proportional solenoid valve.
3.
Disconnect the wire from terminal five.
4.
Connect the positive output of the service module with terminal five of the
amplifier module, using test lead (2).
5.
Attach a multimeter for voltage reading to the service module, using test
lead (3).
6.
Attach a multimeter (in series) for Amp reading to the terminal between
amplifier module and solenoid valve, using test leads (3).
7.
Move the lever of the Potentiometer Control into its final position; or
override manual the relay which allows 24 V operating voltage to the
amplifier module; thus the amplifier gets 24 V operating voltage. The
power LED and simultaneously LED A(+) or B(-) lights up, depending on
the polarity.
8.
Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module until the multimeter
shows 1 VDC (it may be either positive or negative); the multimeter for the
current reading will show a value which should correspond to the value
giving in the circuit diagram e.g. 330 mA. (The first step (10 %) value)
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R1).
9.
Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module further until the
multimeter shows 9 VDC; the multimeter for the current reading will show
a value which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram
e.g. 660 mA. (The second step (90 %) value).
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R2).
10. Repeat settings of item 8 and 9 until both mA values are stabilized, because
R1 and R2 influence each other.

* How to open and close the terminal:


Push the yellow stud (1) down with a screw driver and turn it 90 to the left to
open or to the right to close the terminal. A spring pushes then the stud
outwards and the contacts are either open or closed.

Function:
Setting of the maximum permissible cylinder speed (flow B to A) is carried
out by spindle (1). Depending on the spindle setting, the radial holes (9.1) in
the valve poppet (9) will be partially opened to achieve the required throttling
of the oil flow.
The extra holes (fixed throttle 9.2) prevents the valve from becoming
completely closed.
For the lifting operation (flow A to B), the valve poppet (9), which is guided
by the spindle (1), is pressed against spring (7) so that the valve will be
completely open.

Function:
The electric-hydraulic control system is used to control the direction and
volume of oil flow to the operating cylinders and motors via the main control
valve blocks.
When a lever (or pedal) is actuated, a proportional solenoid valve (13) and
one of the directional solenoid valves (12 either a or b) are energized, and
allows the pilot pressure oil to flow to the spools of the main control blocks.
The proportional solenoid valve alters the pilot pressure, proportional to the
lever deflection, this results a spool movement between neutral and full
stroke position.

Function:
In un-operated condition the control spool (3) is held in the neutral or
starting position by the reset springs (4). Operation of the control spool is by
means of oil immersed solenoids (2).
The force of the solenoid (2) acts via the plunger (5) on the control spool (3)
and pushes its from its resting position into the required end position. This
results in the required free flow from P to A and B to T or from P to B and
A to T.
When the solenoid (2) is de-energised, the control spool (3) is returned to its
original position by the reset springs (4).
Where necessary restriction orifices are installed into the valve ports, to
reduce the oil flow.

Pressure measuring spool


Connection plug

Bleed screw

Function:
In unoperated condition the control spool (2) is held in the neutral or starting
position by reset springs.
The control spool (2) is directly operated by the proportional solenoid (1).
If the solenoid is energized, it produces a force to operate the control spool (2) via
the pressure measuring spool (4) and moves the spool to the left. Oil flows from P
to A. As pressure in A increases, it passes via the radial borings in the control
spool (2) to the inner end of the pressure measuring spool (2).
The force generated by the pressure now works against the solenoid force and
pushes the control spool (2) to the right (closing direction) until a balance is
achieved between the two forces. In order to achieve this, the pressure measuring
spool (2) moves to the left until it is supported by the pin (5).
When the force balance is achieved, the connection between P and A is
interrupted and the pressure in line A is held constant.
Any reduction in the solenoid force leads to the pressure force exceeding the
solenoid force on the control spool (2). The control spool is then moved to the
right causing a connection from A to T allowing the pressure to fall until a
balance is re-established at a lower level.
At rest, when the solenoid is de-energized, ports A and B are open to tank, whilst
port P is blocked from both ports A and B.
In order to achieve optimum functioning of the valve, it must be bleed
when commissioning:
- Supply pressure to the valve
- Remove plug 8
- When no more air bubbles appear screw in plug 8.

Main relief valve (MRV)Control block housing


Check valve (Load holding valve)
Anti cavitation valve (ACV)
Service line relief valve (SRV)

Explanation of the schematic drawing of the control block:


The hydraulic oil flows through the control block from port P to T, if all
spools are in neutral position ("pressure-less circuit" or Free circulation).
(A) 4-spool valve block
Example 1: Spool #1 moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the control pipe
line a1. (Imagine the upper symbol box moves to the center position.)
Now pump oil flows through check valve (2) to the user port A1 (travel motors)
because the free flow circulation to the hydraulic reservoir is closed. The main
relief valve (1) limits the maximum operation pressure in this circuit. Via port B1
the return oil from the travel motors is flowing back to the hydraulic oil reservoir.
During down hill travel motion and stopping procedure the ACVs (3) prevents
cavitation on the hydraulic motors. Because during these short periods of time the
hydraulic motor needs a higher oil supply than the pump can deliver.
Example 2: Spool #2 moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the control pipe
line a2. (Imagine the upper symbol box moves to the center position.)
Now pump oil flows through check valve (2) to the user port A2 (stick cylinder
rod side) because the free flow circulation to the hydraulic reservoir is closed. The
main relief valve (1) limits the maximum operation pressure in this circuit. Via
port B2 the return oil from the stick cylinder piston side is flowing back to the
hydraulic oil reservoir.
SRV (4) is installed to limit maximum possible pressure peaks in the service line..
Shortly high pressure closes check valve (2) which secures the hydraulic pump
from pressure peaks.
The check valves (2) have also the function of load holding valves because during
the fine controlling period all lines are connected together (negative overlapping). The load pressure is for a moment higher than the pump pressure.
(B) 1-spool valve block
The "C" port is used for combined operation with a second pump circuit if the
swing function is not used. (see circuit diagram).

MRVs and SRVs are pilot operated relief valves. The MRV limits the max.
Pump supply line pressure. The SRV limits the max. possible pressure peak in
the service-line.
The valves have an opening characteristic. That means, that in case of
contamination after the response procedure no further pressure increasing is
possible and damages are avoided.
Function:
The circuit pressure P forces with the force F1 on the piston surface A of the
main valve cone (15). Because there is via the jet bore (16) the same pressure on
the back side of the main cone, this results together with the spring (14) force in
a force F2 that keeps the main cone closed. Via the jet bore (13) the circuit
pressure is in front of the poppet (12). Exceeds the circuit pressure the setting
value of the spring (11), the poppet opens against the force of the spring (11).
This causes that the force F2 decreases and there is no more balance condition
between F1 and F2. Valve cone (15) is moved upwards by the greater force F1.
That means there is now a direct connection from port P to T (tank).
ACVs serve for compensation possible lack of feed when the SRV at the
opposite port is actuated (see circuit diagram) and for avoiding cavitation
damages. In addition, to supply a user in case it is continuously moved by
acceleration forces at zero position of the control spool.
Function:
The circuit pressure inside the spring chamber closes the valve cone (7).
The back pressure of the return line acts on the surface of the valve cone (7).
Whenever the pressure in the service-line is lower than the springs force the
valve cone opens by the force of the back pressure and hydraulic oil is additional
supplied.

Load Holding Valve

Spool
Centering springs
Load holding valve

Control Blocks I to IV (4-spool blocks)


Two load holding valves are fitted into each spool of the control blocks, one
valve for each port (A and B).
They have three tasks:
1.
When circuit pressure due to attachment weight is higher than pump
pressure these valves prevent dropping of the attachment, within their
sensitive (fine controlling) range.
2.
Due suddenly pressure peaks in the service lines the valves also protect
the pump.
3.
When two pumps flows are used for one user they ensure that at least
the flow of one pump reaches the user in case one MRV is defect or not
more correct adjusted.
That means: Up to the max. Pressure of the defective valve both load holding
valves are open allowing the flow of both pumps to the user, then one valve will
be closed by the higher pressure and the flow of one pump only flows to the
user.
Function:
In neutral position (upper picture) of the spool (1) both valve cones (3) are
closed by the springs (2).
In switched position (lower picture) forces the circuit pressure onto the front
area of the valve piston (3).
This force moves the piston against spring (2) and allows the oil to flow from
the pump supply port (P) to the user port (A) and from port B to the return oil
passage (T).
If due to an external force the pressure directed to the pump overcomes the
pressure in the pump line; this pressure (force) closes the valve
(direction P to A).

6.1.12 Travel Brake Valve


Illustration Z 21695
Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motor to the tank
depending on operating pressure. This braking action prevents the motors from
overspeeding.
Function:
Spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position. with increasing
operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from A to A1 respectively from
B to B1 depending on the selected travel motion.
Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves spool (1) against the force of the spring (2)
and opens the way for the return oil (B1 to B).
Check valve (3) prevents a direct oil flow from B1 to B.
If the operating pressure decreases to such an extend that the spring force
overcomes the pressure, the flow to the tank becomes restricted, resulting in
braking of the machine.

6.1.13 Pressure Reducing Valve

Pressure reducing valves are installed to reduce the common 45 bar


pilot pressure to a lower pressure for other systems, e.g. the hydraulic
track tensioning system.

Boring

Function:
Pressure reducing valves type DR & DP are direct operated valves of 3 way
design, e.g. with a pressure relief function on the reduced pressure side.
At rest, the valve is normally open, and fluid can flow unhindered from port P
to A. Pressure in port A is also present on the end of the spool (2), via control
line (6), opposing the compression spring (3). When the pressure in port A
reaches the pressure level set at spring (3), spool (2) moves to the control
position and holds the pressure in port A constant.
Fluid to control the valve is taken from port A via the boring (6).
If the pressure in port A rises still further due to external forces, the spool (2)
is moved still further towards the compression spring (3).
This causes a flow path to be opened over control land (8) in the control spool (2)
to tank. Sufficient fluid then flows to tank to prevent any further rise in pressure.
An optional non return valve (5) is available to allow free flow from A to P.

operated by means of oil immersed solenoid (2).
The force of the solenoid (2) effects control spool (3) by means of the plunger
(5) and pushes it from its resting position to the required end position.
This results in free flow from or P to B and A to T.
When solenoid (2) is de-energized, control spool (3) is moved back to its
resting position by means of return springs (4).
An optional hand emergency (6) allows movement of the control spool (3)
without energizing the solenoid.

6.1.15 Pressure Increasing Valve

The pressure increasing valve is a remote controlled pressure relief


valve, actuated by hydraulic pressure. The individual pressure is in
such a way determined by the pilot pressure.

Pin

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the P
port.
If static pressure increase above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a pressure
drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of the spring
(6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump flow to flow
to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 45 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the amount
of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased correspondingly.
The possible pressure increase p is 440 bar max. or 440 bar minus the basic
setting.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw = 150 bar.

Main hydraulic pumps and pump regulation system


Pump regulation system
General
Controlled output flow of the main pumps is necessary:
To utilize the available motor power most efficiently in every operating
mode.
To limit the power consumption of the hydraulic pumps depending on the
load of the motor. (Electronic pump regulation with micro-controller MC7)
For additional functions, such as rotating dependent or temperaturedependent flow reduction.
Function:
X1 pump regulation pressure (0 34 bar):
The power controller of the main pumps can be remotely controlled by
applying an external pilot pressure (X1 ) at port X LR to the spring chamber of
the power control valve. The start of destroking can be varied in proportion to
the applied X1 - pressure.

X2 pilot pressure (45 bar):


Constant pilot pressure to regulate the main pumps at special circumstances,
e.g. to fix the pumps in Q-max position while servicing the machine.

X3 remote control pressure (0 / 15 / 45bar):


Basic setting Q-min (0 bar), the flow rate increases with the
pilot pressure X3 at port Pst, up to Q-max (45 bar).
The hyperbolic power control is superimposed on the pilot pressure
signal and keeps the specified drive power constant. (p x Vg = constant).
The flow rates are:
Q-min.:
X3 = 0 bar
Q-max.: X3 = 15 bar
Q-max.:
X3 = 45 bar

X4 pump support pressure (60 bar):


Constant pilot pressure to support the regulation function at low operating
pressure and to lubricate the main pump bearings.

When are the pumps in Q-min position?
A: Motor at standstill
B: Motor running and the controls are not used for 20 sec. or longer
at normal operating temperature
C: Motor running and service switch S155 activated (Qmin-position)
Example C with the following conditions:
Motor running
Pump pressure smaller than X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
X1 = 34 bar (pump regulation pressure), this pressure will not influence
the Q-min position under these conditions.
X3 = 0 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 de-energized (S155 Qmin activated)
for all pumps.
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
Pump support pressure is present at valve #7, the slipper pad of
piston #14 and the small area side of the positioning piston #13
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to position "b" because the X4-pressure will overcome the
spring force, since the oil behind nozzle (8) flows through valve #6 (which is
in position "a", due to the missing remote control pressure X3) back to tank.
Pump support pressure X4 passes valve #7 position "b" and flows via power
control valve #9 position "a" to the large area side of positioning piston #13
Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the pump support pressure X4 of 60 bar
present on both sides, resulting in stronger force at the large area side, keeps
the pump in Q-min position.
The pump remains in Q-min position

X3 = 45 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 and Y17a energized
for all pumps.
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to position "a" because the spring force is supported by the
X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve #6 (which is
in position "b", due to the 45 bar remote control pressure X3).
The large area side of positioning piston #13 is connected, via power control
valve (9) position "a" and pressure balance valve (7) position "a", to the
return oil line.
The pump moves into Q-max position, because the pump pressure acts only
at the small area side of positioning piston #13.

X3 = 15 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 energized and Y17a deenergized
for all pumps.
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to an intermediate position (in-between "a" and "b"), since a
certain amount of oil behind nozzle (8) flows through valve #6 (which is also
in an intermediate position, due to the 15 bar remote control pressure X3)
back to tank.
The large area side of positioning piston #13 is connected, via power control
valve (9) position "a" and pressure balance valve (7), to the return oil line.
The pump moves into Q-max position, because the return oil flow through
pressure balance valve (7) is restricted (due to its intermediate position),
resulting in a pressure at the large area side of the positioning piston (13).
The pump moves into Q-max position

X3 = 45 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 energized and Y17a energized
for all pumps.
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to position "a" because the spring force is supported by the
X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve #6 (which is
in position "b", due to the 45 bar remote control pressure X3).
The operating pressure (with the value for start of de-stroking) at the slipper
pad of piston #14 moves the power control valve (9) into position "b" (against
the spring force supported by the X1-pressure).
This in turn connects the operating pressure to the large area side of
positioning piston #13.
Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the operating pressure present on both sides,
resulting in stronger force at the large area side, moving the pump in Q-min
direction.
The pump de-strokes until the forces at positioning piston #13 are

Response of pump control mechanism:
Independent of the position of power control valve #9 the pressure cut-off

The operating pressure moves the pressure cut-off valve #11 (at set pressure)
into position "b" and flows to the large area side of positioning piston #13.
Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three

7.2.1 Electronic load limiting control - general, illustration (Z 22407d)


The drive train of the excavator consists of two electric motors, several hydraulic
pumps, which supply cylinders and hydraulic motors.
The load limiting control ensures optimum use of the power required for the excavator
under varying operating conditions and avoiding overload of the motors.
Illustration Z22407d shows the principle of the electronic load limiting control.
The MC7 (E32) processes the following input signals:
Voltage (Pin 47) from electronic signal rectifier (A32)
Current motor 1 (Pin 45) from electronic signal rectifier (A33-1)
Current motor 2 (Pin 46) from electronic signal rectifier (A33-2)
The MC7 (E32) processes the following output signals:
Signal value to control the proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 (Pin 28) Motor 1
Signal value to control the proportional solenoid valve Y61-2 (Pin 30) Motor 2
Switch signals (Pin 32 and 33), diagnostic of the MC7 (E32)
Each electric motor drives four variable displacement pumps by means of a PTOgearbox. Each pump is equipped with a hydraulic power controller (HPC).
This controller limits the input torque of the pump to an adjusted command value (X1pressure, for start of destroking).
The command value (X1-pressure) is present via proportional solenoid valves Y61-1
respectively Y61-2 at the hydraulic power controllers of each pump.

The auxiliary hydraulic pumps and other consumers can be operated


without being directly affected by the load limiting control.

Function:
The ESR-Module (A32) transforms an AC Voltage, which is proportional to the net
voltage, into a proportional DC Voltage and transfers it into the MC7 (E32).
The ESR-Module (A33-1 + A33-2) transforms an AC Voltage, which is proportional to
the respective motor current, into a proportional DC Voltage and transfers it also into
the MC7 (E32).
These input signals are the information about the actual load to the motors and serves
the MC7 (E32).
The control algorithm of the load limiting control (MC7) always compares the actual
required power with the rated power.
With increasing load the motor torque will rise and in turn the required power.
For this reason the electronic load limiting control will be initiated when the required
power is higher than the rated power, i.e. the torque of the main pumps will be lowered
(by reducing the X1-pressure) until the rated power is attained again.

7.2.2 Electronic Power Module EPM Module , illustration (Z 22624b)


The power Module A31a transforms the 24 VDC battery voltage into
positive/negative 15 VDC and the power Module A31b into positive 5 VDC
which is the supply voltage for the ESR Modules.

Function check:
Measure the supply voltage. (24 VDC; GND = 0 V).
If the supply voltage is not there, check the supply cable and the circuit
breaker. If the circuit breaker always trips there may be a short within the
cables to the Power Module or a short in the unit itself.
If the supply voltage is ok. the Output Voltages have to be checked. Check
pos. 15 VDC, neg. 15 VDC, 5 VDC to GND.
If the supply voltages are not ok. the short circuit monitoring system of the
Power Modules might be activated, therefore disconnect the cables at the
terminals (+15 VDC, -15 VDC and +5 VDC) and repeat the voltage check.
If now (with disconnected cables) the voltages are as they should be there
is either a short within the cables or in the other modules itself. To determine
the fault connect the entire modules in sequence.
If the voltage is not ok., even when the cables are disconnected from the
Power Module, the Module is defect.

7.2.2 Electronic Signal Rectifier ESR Modules, illustration (Z 22625c)


Function:
The ESR-Module transforms an AC signal-voltage, which is proportional to the
network voltage respectively the motor current, into a proportional DC Voltage and
transfers it into the MC7.
Testing the ESR-Module, A32 + A33.1 + A33.2
Testing the ESR input/output voltage
For a transformer function test the AC-Input Voltage and the
DC-Output Voltage must be tested.
The potentiometer settings are under no circumstances
allowed to be altered, because the setting is possible only with a HFGenerator and an Oscilloscope.
If the potentiometer set-positions have been altered, a new Module,
with sealed potentiometers, must be ordered.
Procedure: Same procedure for all three Modules
1.

Disconnect the wire from terminal 23 of the ESR Module.

2.

Start the motor and let it run without an extra load on it.

3.

Measure the AC-Voltage between the terminals 21 and 41 and record it.

4.

Measure the DC-Voltage between the terminals 23 and 11 and record it.

5.

The measured DC-Voltage must be 1/4 of the AC-Voltage.


Example:

2.5 VDC
----------- = 0,25 (1 % plus/minus is ok)
10 VAC

Small variations are based on amplitude variations of the AC-Input voltage


while measuring the DC-Output voltage.
Greater variations denotes a faulty ESR Module.

The DC-Output Voltage (UaDC ) can be compared with a calculated Voltage
Value. The calculation can be done with the ratios of the intermediate
transformers given in the circuit diagram, and by the Voltmeter and Ammeter
readings of the cab gauges.

The picture shows a schematic design only and not the actual circuit
diagram, the voltage- and current values may vary, therefore they are
exemplary used.

With the below shown formulas the exact Output Voltages UaDC of an ESR
can be calculated.
Small variations are caused by the transformers.
Variations greater than 20% denotes a faulty transformer.

7.2.2 Microcontroller MC7, illustration (Z 21716)


The MC7 microcontroller is used for the programmable control of a maximum of four
proportional solenoids and two additional switching functions.
As input signals, the microprocessor processes analog voltages in the 0V to 5V range and
switching information. All inputs are protected against overvoltage and electrical interference.
As output signals, the output stages of the MC7 deliver closed loop controlled currents for the
connection of proportional solenoids.
The analog voltage output is suitable for the simple forwarding of analog information to other
electronic circuits.
Characteristics
Closed loop control of solenoid currents, i.e. independent of voltage and temperature.
Pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid currents for minimal hysteresis.
Internal buzzer for programmable monitoring of functions or errors.
Setting and Display Facilities
All calibration operations and the display of functions, faults and system variables are
connected via the serial interface to the BB-3 control panel or to a PC running the BODEM
software.

terminals at the X2-panel.
Pre-conditions: Normal operating temperature, correct pilot pressure setting and
the system must be free of air.
1. Make sure the change over valves (253.1 motor 1 respectively 254.1 motor
2) are in position Electronic Pump Regulation
2. Connect a pressure gauge to the respective check points (M5.1 or M5.2),
using a long pressure gauge hose to be able reading the pressure in front of
the X2-panel.
3. Selection of adjusting mode:
Turn the main key switch in on position and activate the adjusting mode as
follows:
Connect 24V, simultaneously to terminal 54 and 55 for 10 seconds, using two
test leads and disconnect the voltage thereafter.
4. Selection of the motor and the required proportional solenoid valve :
With the main key switch still in on position, select the applying terminal for
proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 or Y61-2 as follows:
Motor1 Y 61-1 No connection to 24V required.
Motor2 Y 61-2 Connect permanent 24V to terminal 53, using a test lead.
5. Adjusting the X1-pressure:
Start the motor.
Read the pressure, required = 34 0,5 bar
If necessary increase the X1-pressure as follows:
Connect 24V to terminal 54.
As long as voltage is supplied, the X1-pressure drops to zero.
After interrupting the voltage supply, the gauge pointer will move
slowly to the new present X1-pressure.
Example: Keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will increase the
X1-pressure of approximately 1bar.
The adjusted value will be saved immediately and will be available
after power off.
6. To decrease the X1-pressure connect 24V to terminal 55 and proceed as
described under item 5, keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will
decrease the X1-pressure of approximately 1bar.
7. After the adjustment is finished, remove the test leads and pressure gauge and
turn the main key switch in OFF position to deactivate the adjusting mode.

Hydraulic Constant Regulation System


7.3.1. General
The pilot pressure pumps (9.1 and 9.3) deliver the oil through the pressure filters
(68.1 and 68.7) to port A of the pressure relief valve (252.2) for limiting the pump
support pressure X4 to 60 bar. By the function of pressure reducing valve
(252.1), the X4 pressure of 60 bar is reduced to the pilot pressure X2 of 45 bar.
The common X2 pressure will be reduced by the function of pressure reducing
valves (253.2 motor 1 and 254.2 motor 2) to the necessary constant X1
pressure, to prevent the motors from overloading.

For testing purposes the pump regulation system can be changed to


the hydraulic operation mode. In case of a failure in the electronic
regulation system the hydraulic operation mode can also be used for
emergency operation.
The standard operation mode of the pump regulation system is the
Electronic Operation Mode.

7.6.1. General
Energy, which is not used to do active movement, can be considered in loss
energy.
Although energy cannot be destroyed it can be converted into heat which is
useless for performing work through hydraulics. The not used energy cause
increasing power consumption.
With the following measures an optimizing of the energy efficiency in our
machines optimized oil delivery of specified pumps in relation to definite
movements of the excavator.
The PLC controls the solenoid valves. Generally logic is during single
function we have full pump flow and in combined function it reduces the oil
flow. Except the pumps for the swing system, this are back in maximum flow
during swing function.
The remote control pressure X3 on pump port Pst controls the maximum
permissible pump flow. With decreasing pressure the pump volume decreases
as well. A pre-set pressure reducing valve (265) is responsible to limit the X3
pressure for the reduced pump flow Qred.

7.6.2. Checks and adjustments, flow control (Qred)


To check or adjust the function of the Energy efficiency system it is
necessary to follow the instructions below.
1. Connect a test gauge (0-60 bar) to port M19. It is located at the pilot
control plate at the right bottom corner close to the pressure reducing
valve (265).
2. Let both engines / motors run. Diesel engine shift to high idle.
3. Turn superstructure 90 right to the travel direction.
4. Apply the swing parking brake.
5. Move bucket close to the side frame and raise one track off the ground
just to get the track free.
6. Activate the travel pedal of the lifted track fully in one direction. Make
sure that there is no other function activated.
7. Test of max. pump volume. Y146 and Y147 must be de-energized.
Check the time of fife (5) sprocket revolutions. See table Pump Flow
control test values next page for the required time.

8. Test of reduced pump flow (flow reduction). Y146 must be energized.


Activate carefully the swing function in one direction against the parking
brake. The lever must be fully activated. In the same time activate the
travel function of the lifted track also fully in one direction.
Check the time of fife (5) sprocket revolutions.
See table Pump flow control test values for the required time.
9. To verify the result repeat test from item 4 but now with the left track site.
10. If the value is within the tolerance check resulting Pst pressure at the
gauge of test port M19 and record value for future tests as a reference.
If adjustment is required
a. Loosen lock nut (c) of the pressure reducing valve.
b. Turn clockwise set screw (d) of the pressure reducing valve 265 to
reduce or counter clockwise to increase the sprocket speed.
Adjust the sprocket speed to 69 1 sec at 5 revolutions.
c. Look set screw with the lock nut.

Additionally of the flow control valves Y146 and Y147 the valve Y17
and Y17a controls the pump angel (pump volume). See table below.

It means there are also influences of the pause time function (no activated
controls), hydraulic oil temperature and service switch S155.
Pst = 0 bar = Qmin (pause time)
Pst = 15 bar = Qmax (pause time or low oil temperature)
Pst = 181 = Q reduced (flow control)
(determined via above procedure).
Pst = 45 bar = Qmax

General information
The control blocks, the piping to the distributor manifold and the connecting
hoses to the attachment are different between the Backhoe Attachment (BHA)
and the Front Shovel Attachment (FSA). If a conversion is required, contact
the service department for further information.
Function:

Study together with the circuit diagram.


The following numbering refers to the hydraulic circuit diagram.

Each main pump (1 to 8) delivers oil trough the high pressure filter (18.1 to 18.4)
to port P of the main control blocks (14 to 17).
This results in four main circuits.
If all spools of the control blocks (14 to 17) are in neutral position, the oil leaves
the block at port T and returns via return oil pipes (L23 to L26), return oil
collector tube, back pressure valve (26) and the return oil filters (51.1 - 51.7) into
the tank.
The function of back pressure valve (26) ensures:
- sufficient oil supply for all anticavitation valves
- and that sufficient oil is forced through the oil coolers.
If a control lever or pedal is actuated, pilot pressure oil moves the spools of the
control blocks, directing the oil flow from the main pumps to one side of the
user (either cylinders or motors). From the opposite side of the user the oil
returns to the control block and from there via the return oil circuit back into
the tank.
Each circuit is provided with one MRV (also called primary valve, at least one
SRV (also called secondary valve) and at least one flow restrictor.

Floating function of boom and stick cylinders FSA:
illustration (Z 22677c):
The Excavator operates automatically with the float position for boom and stick
activated. That means the lowering movement of boom and stick is always done
in the float position.
For deactivation of the float position, two push buttons are installed:
a) S95 in the right joy stick (E19) for the Boom function
b) S98 in the left joy stick (E20) for the Stick function
Press the respective button and keep it depressed as long as the float position shall
be deactivated.
When releasing the button the float position is activated again.
Function:
There are different spools in the main control blocks (I, II, III and IV) for boom
and stick installed.
Spools without a symbol (standard) are connecting the rod side of the cylinders
with the pump supply line and the piston side with the tank.
Spools with #-symbol (lowering with free pump circulation) are connecting the
piston side of the cylinders with the tank only.
Spools with $-symbol (floating) are connecting the piston side of the cylinders
with the rod side and also with the tank.
Only by lowering the boom or retracting the stick is the floating function active if
the button on the joy stick is not pushed. The piston and rod side of the respective
cylinders are in floating position direct connect to the return line (tank). By
external force the cylinder can move up or down with negligible hydraulically
resistance.
To push down the boom or retract the stick by hydraulically force, the function of
the floating spools must be interrupted, by activating the respective button on
the joy sticks.

Each MRV can be checked and adjusted individually by selecting one function of the
control block circuits.
Checking:
1. Connect the gauge to the required check point M11.1 to M11.4.
2. Start the motors.
3. Lower the attachment to the ground and apply the swing parking brake
3. Extend the bucket cylinder to the stop position until the hydraulic system stalls.
4. Read the pressure. Required: 310 + 5 bar for valve blocks I IV
If the pressure is not correct, carry out a comparative measurement with an other
function, in order to avoid wrong measuring results caused by wrongly adjusted SRV or
other defects in the system.
Adjusting:
1. Remove protection cap (a).
2. Loosen lock nut (b).
3. Turn set screw (c) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counter-clock wise to
decrease pressure.
4. Tighten lock nut (b) and install cap (a).

Make sure that the complete MRV-valve and SRV-valve is firmly


tightened with 300 Nm.
Otherwise, internal leaks could occur which result in:
problems of correct adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.

the MRVs, while observing the pressure gauges. Stop as soon the
pressure does
not raise any further.
The gauge pointers should remain at 350 bar + 5 bar.

Since the piston side of the boom cylinders are protected by several
SRVs, the pressure gauges show the pressure of that valve with the
lowest setting.
Even when the gauges show the required pressure it is possible that
one or more valves have a higher setting.
To ensure that only the SRVs open during checks and adjustments
it is necessary to further increase the setting of the MRVs.
Turn set screw (3) of the MRVs turn further in, the gauge pointers will
remain at the value shown at item #6 (350 bar + 5 bar).
Tighten lock nut (2) and install cap (1).

Remove protection cap (1) of SRVs.
Loosen lock nut (2).
Turn set screw (3) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counter-clock wise

10. Reduce the pressure, at SRV- 132.1 to a value below the required value,
and then increase up to the required pressure (350 bar), while
observing all gauges.

Now all gauges will show the same value of 350 bar,
but only SRV-132.1 has the correct setting.

11. Proceed with the other valves in the same manner in the following
sequence:
132.2 132.3 132.4
Strong pulsation of the return line hoses, indicates deviation in
opening pressure of SRVs and must be avoided.
Repeat the adjusting procedure until the oil returns well-balanced
via all four service line relief valves.
12. Reset the MRVs to 310 bar + 5 bar after the check / adjustment is finished,
as follows:
Remove protection cap (1).
Loosen lock nut (2).
Turn set screw (3) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counter-clock wise to

Even when the gauges show the required pressure it is possible that
one or more valves have a higher setting.
To ensure that only the SRVs open during checks and adjustments
it is necessary to further increase the setting of the MRVs.

Start one motor.
Raise the attachment and bring the back wall of the bucket in a horizontal
position (bucket dump).
Depress pedal bucket closing until the hydraulic system stalls. Release the
pedal back to neutral position.
The bucket must stay closed. That means the clam-cylinders must not be
retracted by the force (weight) of the clam shell.
Adjust the SRVs as follows:
Remove protective cap (1) of SRVs.
Loosen lock nut (2).
Turn set screw (3) -clockwise to increase pressure,
Counter-clock wise to decrease pressure, with
depressed pedal clam closing.
Tighten lock nut (2) and install cap (1).
Adjust the SRVs equally (same dump line pressure at M20.2 and M20.3), until
the gauge at check point M20.1 show a pressure of 220 bar.
Strong pulsation of the return line hoses, indicates deviation in
opening pressure of SRVs and must be avoided.
Repeat the adjusting procedure until the oil returns well-balanced
via all service line relief valves.

5.

Now reduce the pressure at the SRVs equally in steps of 5 bar until the bucket
opens by gravity (check with released pedal).
Read the pressure and increase the setting with 10%, to compensate the weight
of material stuck at the clam shell.

For standard buckets the pressure is 150 bar, reinforced or with heavy
wear package attached, the pressure maybe raised up to 200 bar.

Checks and adjustments of the lowering speed, illustration (Z 22699a):


Purpose of the Flow Restrictors:
To avoid an interruption of the pump delivery.
To provide an uniform and smooth cylinder travel.
To limit the return oil flow through the control block to the maximum permissible
volume.
Maximum permissible lowering speed for boom:
Function
Boom down (FSA)

Cylinder retracting time/meter (s /m)


1,5

Total time(s)
4,7

Adjustments / Checks:
1. Use a stop watch to measure the cylinder running time.
2. Raise the fully extended attachment with empty bucket to the maximum height
position (A).
3. Activate service switch S155 (located in the cab base) during the checks and
adjustments, to ensure that the main pumps are in Qmax position.
4. Rapidly move the control lever (E19) to the front end position (start the stop
watch) and hold it until the final position (B) is reached.(stop the stop watch).
Lower the boom so, that the bucket stops just above the ground.
5. If the lowering speed is too high, i.e. the measured time is less than the
permissible time, the speed must be reduced by altering the throttle valves 132.1,
132.2, 132.3 and 132.4 at the distributor manifold (73).
Adjust as follows:
To decrease the lowering speed loosen lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) cw.
To increase the lowering speed loosen lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) ccw.
Since there are several valves throttling the return oil flow the valves must be set
synchronously. The adjusting screws have to be turned in by the same amount of
revolutions.

Brief description (Service circuits)
(Study together with the for the machine valid hydraulic and electric circuit
diagram).
The swing motors (20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3) are driven by the pumps (4 + 8).
The oil flows from the pumps through high pressure filters to the control
block (II).
With the spools in neutral position oil flows via the return oil line (L24) into
the collector tube and further to the tank.
On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (26) and
the return oil filter (51.1 - 51.7). (Back pressure valve function see section 4.)
When operating the control lever for "Swinging" the pump line is connected
in the control block (II) with the corresponding service line (A1 or B1) to the
swing motors (20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3).
The oil flows from the control block through each one of the swing brake
valves (49.1 + 49.2 + 49.3); description see page 8 and 9) and the swing
motors (20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3).
Each swing gear includes one spring loaded multi disk brake (House brake)
for locking the superstructure.
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L42 + L43 + L44) and the
leak oil filter (66) back to tank.

Brief description (Control circuits)


When the lever (E20) is moved out of its neutral position, proportional solenoid
valves Y24 and directional solenoid valves Y24a (L.H.-swing) or Y24b (R.H.swing) are energized simultaneously, so that
pilot pressure oil is send to one side of the control
block (II). At the same time by the function of
proportional solenoid valve Y127 pilot pressure
is present at port X of each brake valve block
thus a maximum pressure built up in the service
lines is possible.

Axial piston motor A2FLM (with SL-bearing)
The axial piston units of product group A2FM with fixed displacement can
operate as a hydraulic motor only.
The drive speed is proportional to the consumption capacity.
The output torque increases with the pressure drop between high and low
pressure side.
The motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy.

Description of the SL-bearing (SL = slipper bearing)


The main part of the axial forces is supported by the slipper pads (13) which
are installed on the driving circular side of the drive shaft.
Each piston is allocated to one slipper pad.
These slipper pads are located in the cylinder chamber and get pressurized via
piston borings (5). The slipper pads support themselves on the thrust washer
(14) and discharge axially the tapered roller bearing (11).
Without pressure the slipper pads are kept on the thrust washer by means of
spring (12).

8.2.2 Swing Motor
Axial piston motor A2FLM (with SL-bearing), illustration (Z 21936):
Function:
The pressure oil inlet (A or B) and consequent oil outlet (B or A) determine
the output drive direction of the drive shaft (1).
Direction of rotation:
"Clockwise"
= Direction of flow A to B
"Counter-Clockwise" = Direction of flow B to A
with view onto drive shaft!
Via the control lens (8) the oil is directed to the cylinder bores.
The piston (5) is moved from the lower (6b) to the up- per dead point (6a) by
means of the force acting on it and causes the drive shaft to rotate. On further
rotation of the drive shaft (additional pistons are pressurized) this piston is
moved towards the lower dead point again and oil of the cylinder chamber is
forced out through the kidney formed openings of the control lens. This oil is
fed back to the tank via the return line.
If the supply and return line is changed it changes the output drive direction
of the drive shaft.
By means of the angled arrangement of the cylinder (7) (bent axis design), a
certain piston stroke is produced which results in a fixed displacement per
revolution of the drive shaft. According to the size of the applied flow this
produces a specific output speed.
The output torque at the drive shaft is dependent on the size of the motor and
the required operating pressure.

The swing gear is of compact design with a two stage planetary gear including a
multi disk house brake.
The gear is bolted to the superstructure and fits firmly due to the machined
diameter (A) and the bolt torque.
The torque loaded on the hydraulic motor is transmitted by drive shafts (2)
and sun gear shaft (3) to the first planetary stage (17).
The sun shaft (17) of the first planetary stage transmits the torque into the
second planetary stage (19). By the planetary gears the output drive shaft is
rotated and transmits the torque to the pinion (21).
The drive housing, and the gearbox are filled with gear oil.
Aeration is done by breather filters.
To lubricate the pinion bearing port (22) is connected to the central
lubrication system.

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (4) engaged to the housing by serration and the inner disks (3) in
serrated connection with drive shaft (12) are pressed together by the springs (9).
This results in a fixed connection between housing and drive shaft.
Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (13) reaches the bottom of the piston (6) and forces the
piston upwards against the thrust washer (10).
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks so that the sinus
(spacing) rings can keep the outer disks (4) apart, thus the brake is released.
The releasing pressure is 19 - 20 bar, the maximum permissible pressure
60 bar.
This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is splash lubricated
by gear oil.

Explanation of the function by the symbol:
When ever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used, pilot
pressure arrives the pressure increasing valve (1) at port "X".
The pilot pressure pre-loads these valves.
The oil for the hydraulic motor from the control block arrives the service line
port A or B, depending if a R.H. or a L.H. swing motion is carried out.
The ports A and B are internally connected to the ports A1 and B1 and these
ports in turn with the hydraulic motor.
The operating pressure, at either port A or B closes the anti-cavitation valves
(4 or 5) and opens the check valves (2 or 3).
That means by the check valves (2 or 3) the service lines are connected to the
pressure increasing valve.
When ever the pressure is higher than the setting of the pressure increasing
valve, this valves opens and dumps the oil into the return line (T) to tank.
The pressure can be checked at the check points MA or MB.

Swing Brake Valve, illustration (Z 21935)


If after a swing motion the joy stick is put into neutral position without
using the foot brake, the superstructure is turned by inertial force and the
hydraulic motor acts as a pump because it is driven by the swing gear.
In this period the pressure in the service line is lower than the pressure in
the return line, because there is a back pressure valve at the tank, and oil is
forced through the anti-cavitation valves into the service line.
Function of the pressure increasing valve.
When ever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used, pilot
pressure arrives the pressure increasing valve (1) at port "X". The pilot
pressure pre-loads these valves.
By applying pilot pressure via the external port X to piston (12), the pretensioning of the pressure spring (10) is increased by the amount of the piston
stroke "S", which results in the actual valve setting.
The system pressure is in front of the main piston (13) and via the jet bore (6)
also in the chamber of the spring (7) and via the jet bore (8) at the pressure
relief valve poppet (9).
Due to the force balance the piston (13) is kept in its position supported by
the spring (7).
Overcomes the system pressure the setting of the valve (9), this valve opens a
channel to the dump line port (Y). Due to the drop of force the piston (13) is
moved to the right.
The pressure line gets connected with the return line (T).
Damped opening and closing are obtained by the throttled volumetric change
that is caused by the jet bores.

Checks and adjustments for the swing circuit

It is important that the complete MRV-valve and the Pressure


Increasing Valve is firmly (with 300 Nm) tightened. Otherwise,
internal leaks could occur which result in problems of correct
adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.
Whenever pressure checks are carried out, they must be carried out
for all swing motors, to make sure the control lines and the check
valves in the brake valve blocks are in good condition.
Because the Swing motors are working hydraulically in combined
operation, the pressure gauge shows the pressure of the pressure
increasing valve with the lowest setting. Even when the gauge shows
the required pressure it is possible that one valve has a higher setting.
Therefore lower the pressure on one valve below the required pressure
and then increase up to required pressure. Proceed with next valves in
the same manner.

High pressure check / adjustment

8.3.1 Travel Circuit


Cont'd.:
Illustration (Z 22717):
Brief description (Service circuits)
(Study together with the hydraulic and electric circuit diagram).
The L.H. travel motors (21.1 + 21.2) are driven by the pumps (2 + 6) and the
R.H. travel motors (21.3 + 21.4) are driven by the pumps (3 + 7).
The oil flows from the pumps through the high pressure filters to the control
blocks (I + III).
In neutral position of the spools the oil flows via the return oil lines (L23 +
L25) into the collector tube and further to the tank.
On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (26) and
the return oil filter (51.1 - 51.7). (Back pressure valve function see section 4.)
When operating the foot pedal for "Travelling" the pump line of each control
block is connected with the corresponding service line (A1 or B1) via the
rotary distributor (59) and travel brake valves (39.1 + 39.2) to the travel
motors (22.1 22.4).
The travel brake valve acts as a flow control valve in order to avoid the travel
motors picking up speed when travelling downhill.
Each travel gear includes a spring loaded multi disk brakes (House brakes 77.1
77.4). They are used as parking brakes, automatically applied by the function of
Y16 whenever the prime mover is switched OFF.
The brake release pressure (X2 pressure reduced to 35 bar by valve 147) is
monitored by the pressure switch (B48).
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L38) and the leak oil filter (66)
back to tank.
Anti cavitation circuit
Due to terminal leakage and in order to avoid a vacuum in the system, e.g.
due travelling downhill, additional oil must be fed into the circuit.
This is done by the anti cavitation valves (32.1 + 32.2 respectively 32.9 + 32.10).
Function:
The line from port T of the control blocks is connected to the return oil pipe
at the tank. Due to the adjustment of the back pressure valve (26) there is
under any circumstance enough oil under pressure available at the anti
cavitation valves. Any time the pressure in the service line to the motors is
less than the back pressure additional oil is forced through the anti cavitation
valves into the circuit.

8.3.2 Travel Motor


Axial piston motor A2FLM
The axial piston units of product group A2FM with fixed displacement can
operate as a hydraulic motor only.
The drive speed is proportional to the consumption capacity.
The output torque increases with the pressure drop between high and low
pressure side.
The motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy.

Function:
The pressure oil inlet (A or B) and consequent oil outlet (B or A) determine
the output drive direction of the drive shaft (1).
Direction of rotation:
"Clockwise"
= Direction of flow A to B
"Counter-Clockwise" = Direction of flow B to A
with view onto drive shaft!
Via the control lens (8) the oil is directed to the cylinder bores.
The piston (5) is moved from the lower (6b) to the upper dead point (6a) by
means of the force acting on it and causes the drive shaft to rotate. On further
rotation of the drive shaft (additional pistons are pressurized) this piston is
moved towards the lower dead point again and oil of the cylinder chamber is
forced out through the kidney formed openings of the control lens. This oil is
fed back to the tank via the return line.
If the supply and return line is changed it changes the output drive direction
of the drive shaft.
By means of the angled arrangement of the cylinder (7) (bent axis design), a
certain piston stroke is produced which results in a fixed displacement per
revolution of the drive shaft. According to the size of the applied flow this
produces a specific output speed.
The output torque at the drive shaft is dependent on the size of the motor and
the required operating pressure.

The rotary distributor (joint) permits a hydraulic connection between the
superstructure and the under- carriage, that means between the rotating and the
stationary part.

Function:
During operation superstructure and under carriage constantly rotate towards each
other. Nevertheless, the travel oil motors must be supplied with hydraulic oil in
every position in which the superstructure is moved in regard to the undercarriage.
Oil is directed by the control blocks to the ports (A-D) of the housing (1).
The oil flows to the outlet ports (A-D), of the rotor (2), via ring grooves as well as
longitudinal and cross holes. The rotor is bolted to the under carriage. The sealing
of the ring grooves among one another is done by sealing elements (6/7).
The hydraulic connection for return, case drain, house brake and the track
tensioning cylinders is done via the ports (K1/K2), (L), (St) and (St).
The entering of dirt gets blocked by the half disks (9) and the collar of mover (3)
(Principe of labyrinth sealing). Both areas are connected via grease nipple (20) to
the central lubrication system which causes an additional sealing. The rotor (2) is
at the top and bottom section guided in the housing by the guide rings (8).

The 1. planetary gear (7) is driven by the shaft (15) which is connected to the
spur gear.
The planetary gear supports themselves in the internal geared wheel (8)
which causes that the 2. planetary gear (2) is driven by the shaft (12).
The sprocket drive shaft is driven via the splines of the planetary carrier (2).

* The brake must be released for oil change!
Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (99) engaged to the housing (96) by serration and the inner
disks (99) in serration connection with the drive shaft (11) are pressed together
by the springs (90). This results in a fixed connection between housing (96) and
shaft (11).
Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (93) reaches the bottom of the piston (91) and forces the
piston against the retainer (100).
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks thus the brake is
released.
The releasing pressure is 21 - 23 bar, the maximum permissible pressure 50 bar.
This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is filled with gear oil.
The oil must be filled in after removing the filler plug (97) up to the edge of the
level control plug (94) thread.

8.3.6 Travel Brake Valve


Illustration Z 21695
Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motor to the tank
depending on operating pressure. This braking action prevents the motors from
over speeding.
Function:
Spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position. with increasing
operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from A to A1 respectively from
B to B1 depending on the selected travel motion.
Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves spool (1) against the force of the spring (2)
and opens the way for the return oil (B1 to B).
Check valve (3) prevents a direct oil flow from B1 to B.
If the operating pressure decreases to such an extend that the spring force
overcomes the pressure, the flow to the tank becomes restricted, resulting in
braking of the machine.

Electrical signal flow. [
]
Signal voltage of foot pedals (E21a + E21b) arrives via ramp time module (E51 +
E52) at terminal 5 of the amplifier modules (A12 and A13) and further to the
proportional and directional solenoid valves of the remote control blocks (102.1
and 102.3).
The directional solenoid valves Y20A and Y28A are deactivated with open
contacts of relay K178 i.e. the power supply cable is to slack (5S6) or the cable
drum is full (5S4), which results in interruption of backward traveling.
Y20A is also deactivated with open contacts of relay K179 i.e. to strong deflection
to the left (5S8), => interruption of backward traveling the L.H. crawler only.
Y28A is also deactivated with open contacts of relay K180 i.e. to strong
deflection to the right (5S9), => interruption of backward traveling the R.H.
crawler only.
Hydraulic signal flow. (pilot pressure) [
]
When the proportional and directional solenoid valves are energized pilot
pressure oil flows to the caps at the main control blocks. (I + III)
Hydraulic oil flow. [
]
Now the oil of the main pumps flows through the main control blocks (I + III) and
arrives via Rotary distributor (59) and travel brake valves (39.1 39.2) at the
hydraulic travel motors.

(M11.. M31..) Pressure check points
Pressure check of the Service Line Relief Valves (SRV)
1. Connect pressure gauge to the required check points :
L.H. track
M11.2 = Operating pressure for the L.H.-motors
M31.1 = SRV- pressure L.H.-travel forward
M31.2 = SRV- pressure L.H.-travel backward

R.H. track
M11.3 = Operating pressure for the R.H.-motors
M31.3 = SRV- pressure R.H.-travel forward
M31.4 = SRV- pressure R.H.-travel backward

2. Unplug solenoid valve Y16 (located at the central control and filter panel)
to keep the parking brake applied.
3. Start both motors.
4. Engage carefully the desired travel motion and keep the pedal in final
position to built up max. pressure.
5. Increase slowly the MRV-pressure while observing the pressure gauge.
Gauge value must remain at 310bar + 5bar.
If the gauge shows a smaller or greater value the SRV must be adjusted

A faulty Anti-cavitation Valve (32.1 + 32.2, 32.9 + 32.10) or a leaking


seal of the rotary joint (59) can influence the SRV pressure reading /
setting. Repair or replace faulty parts if necessary

Adjusting the SRVs :


+
1. Set MRVs to 320 bar 10 bar (using an attachment cylinder function)
2. Engage carefully the desired travel motion and keep the pedal in final position
to built up max. pressure.
3. Lower the pressure at the required SRV to 290 bar and then increase up to the
required pressure of 310bar. Proceed with next valves in the same manner.
+
4. Re-set MRVs to 310 bar 5 bar (using an attachment cylinder function)
and re-plug the solenoid valve Y16.
How to adjust MRVs and SRVs:
a) Remove protective cap (1) and loosen lock nut (2).
b) Adjust pressure with set screw (3).
c) Secure adjustment by tightening lock nut (2) and replace cap (1).
d) Re-check pressure setting.

It is important that the complete MRV-valve and SRV-valve is firmly


(with 300 Nm) tightened.
Otherwise, internal leaks could occur which result in:
problems of correct adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.

The hydraulic track tensioning system ensures automatically the correct track
tension.
The pilot pressure pumps (9.1 and 9.3) will supply oil to all four tensioning
cylinders (124.1 124.4).
The maximum pressure is limited by pressure increasing valves (141).
The pressure in the tensioning cylinders transmits the required force to move
the guide wheels to the front, until the correct track tension is obtained.
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the
pressure accumulators (119.1 + 119.2, first stage) and (120.1 120.4, second
stage).

For information about the preventative track inspection, refer to the


Operation and Maintenance Manual.

Functional description:
Illustration Z 22756a and Z 22757a (on next page):

Under normal operating condition shut-off cock (118.4) located on the


valve block (140) in the car body is closed. The shut-off cock (118.1)
located on the valve block (140) in the car body and (118.2 and 118.3)
located inside the side frames are open.

The oil flow of the pilot pressure pumps (9.1 + 9.3), filtered by pressure filters
(68.1 + 68.7) enters port "P" of solenoid valve Y16, via the common pilot
pressure supply line (45 bar) of the central control and filter panel (36).
If solenoid valve Y16 is actuated (i.e. pressure at sensor B48), the oil for the
travel parking brake (reduced to 35 bar by the function of valve 147), flows via
rotary joint (21), shut-off cock (118.1), the orifice, the two check valves (121.1 +
121.2) and the shut-off cocks (118.2 + 118.3) the into the tensioning cylinders
(124.1 124.4).
The resulting force moves the guide wheels toward the front, until the correct
track tension is obtained.
Simultaneously the system is via check valves (125.1 + 125.2) connected to the
pressure increasing valve (141).
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the pressure
accumulators (119.1 + 119.2, first stage) and (120.1 120.4, second stage).
Purpose of the pressure increasing valve
The two system pressures

35 bar with engine stopped


310 bar with engine running
are controlled by the pressure increasing valve as follows.
With stopped motor and switched off ignition there is no pilot pressure (L39) at
pressure increasing valve (141) and only the lowest adjusted pressure of 35 bar
remains in the system.
As soon as the motor has been started, the pilot pressure acts on the pressure
increasing valve. As a result the system pressure can rise to the adjusted pressure
of 310 bar.

Illustration (Z 22757a):
Cushioning Function
When the tensioning cylinders (124.1 124.4) are moved in by external
forces, the none return valves (121.1 + 121.2) will be closed.
A certain amount from the displaced oil of the tensioning cylinders is taken
up by the pressure accumulators.
First stage:

at a pressure higher than 31 bar, oil is taken up by the side frame


accumulators (119.1 + 119.2).

Second stage: at a pressure higher than 150 bar, oil is taken up by the center
section accumulators (120.1 120.4).
The system pressure can rise up to 310 bar pressure increasing valve (141)
setting.
With reduction of external forces, the oil is pushed back by the accumulator
pressure into the tensioning cylinders.
If the displaced oil volume was higher than the accumulators could take up,
oil is added from the pilot pressure circuit, as soon as the pressure in the lines
to the tensioning cylinder is lower than 35 bar.
To avoid serious damages to the pilot pressure system in case of a faulty
check valve, pressure relief valve (257.1) with a 55 bar setting is installed.

For information about the preventative track inspection, refer to the


Operation and Maintenance Manual.
To check the accumulator charging pressure refer to PARTS &
SERVICE NEWS AH01531a latest edition.

Jet bore
Lock nut

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the P
port.
If static pressure increases above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a pressure
drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of the spring
(6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump flow to flow
to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 60 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the amount
of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased correspondingly.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw ~ 150 bar.

The pumps (9.1 + 9.3) are delivering the oil through the filters (68.1 + 68.7) and
via check valves (252.3 + 252.4) to port A of pressure relief valve (252.2).
The pressure relief valve (252.2) maintains the adjusted pressure of 60 bar, called
X4-pressure.
The X4-pressure passes check valve 258.6 and is present at port P of solenoid
valve Y123A/B. If solenoid valve Y123 A or B is energized the oil flows to the
cylinder and the ladder will move up or down. By the function of shuttle valve
(258.4) both service lines are connected to safety valve (258.3), which limits the
pressure to 70 bar.
Return oil from cylinder (137) flows back via solenoid valve Y123A/B to
solenoid valve Y125.
Y125 = ON => Maximum cylinder speed, return oil flow not restricted when
both proximity switches S22 and S91 are not activated (ladder
between top and bottom end position)
Y125 = OFF => Reduced cylinder speed, return oil flow is restricted by orifice
(258.7) when one of the proximity switches S22 (ladder up) or
S91 (ladder down) is activated i.e. cushioning function just
before the final upper or lower end position is reached.
If the ladder is in the top position the activated sensor S22 de-energizes Y125
and energizes Y123A, with the result that the cylinder of the ladder is always
charged with pressure in this position.
If switch S84 is in neutral position and the ladder in bottom position sensor
S91 de-energise all solenoids (Y125; Y123 A+B) and the ladder is blocked.

10.1 Function of hydraulically operated access ladder


Cont'd:
Prime drive is not running and the ladder is in the final upper position
With switch S84 activated in position 2 (ladder down) solenoid valve Y123B
and relay K132 are active. Y123B connects the piston side of the cylinder to
the return line and K132 activates Y125, so that the oil can return without
resistance to the tank. Now the ladder can move down only by its own mass
(due to the force of gravity). The operator has to push the ladder slightly until
it starts moving down by its own weight.
The rod site of the cylinder receives oil via anti-cavitation valve (258.5).
It is not necessary to activate the key switch, because the involved
components are directly battery supplied via fuse F17.
There is an additional pull switch S84A below the ladder support. With this
switch activated the ladder can moved down from the ground.
Make sure that there are no obstacles in the moving range of the
ladder. Stop raising the ladder by releasing the control switch (S84) if
there are any obstacles in the moving range.
Mount the ladder only in completely lowered position.
Do not lift persons or objects (tools) with the hydraulic access ladder.
Serious injury or death could occur.

Task:
The cable drum, driven by a brake motor with slip ring rotor, is installed to
wind up or unwind the power supply cable automatically.
1. To considerably improve the mobility of the excavator.
2. To make the operation safer (Material and personnel) i.e. less risk to
damage the cable when travelling backwards and less danger of injury
because the cable must not manual moved.
3. To increase the lifetime of the cable, because the cable is not dragging on
the ground.
For the optimal use of the cable drum it is necessary that the operator
understands the system very well.
Regular maintenance is essential

Terminal box
The resistor 5R1 serves as a series resistor for a three- phase motor with a slip ring rotor
(stand still, sliding rotor-brake motor)
It is a resistor with one or more taps (as a function of drum design), to make a selection of
different star bridges possible. The taps serve to regulate the motor and brake torque during
winding up and unwinding.
With service switch 5S1 is it possible to control the cable drum manually in both directions
(windup, unwind, stop and automatic)
The terminal box X8 contains the terminal rails , the relays 5K7, 5K8, 5K10, 5K11, circuit
breakers 5F13 + 5F14 and motor temperature control unit F79.
Direction of rotation monitoring switch 5S3 opens its contact and de-energizes 5K10 and
5K11 while unwinding (traveling forward) and eliminates the resistor which controls the
star bridge. (Lowest tensioning force)
Gear type cam switch 5S4* reduces the tensioning as soon as half of the cable is unwinded
(contact 21/22 opens and de-energizes 5K11) or stops reverse travelling as soon as the max.
length of the cable is winded up (contact 31/32 opens and de-energizes K178).
The proximity switch 5S8 stops L.H. crawler reverse travelling at too much deflection of
the power supply cable to the left (contact br/sw opens and de-energizes K179).
The proximity switch 5S9 stops R.H. crawler reverse travelling at too much deflection of
the power supply cable to the right (contact br/sw opens and de-energizes K180).
Pendulum control cam switch 5S6* stops forward travelling at too tight power supply
cable (contact 11/12 opens and de-energizes K177) or reverse travelling at too much slack of
power supply cable (contact 21/22 opens and de-energizes K178).
The limit switch 5S7* stops forward travelling by de-energizing K177 as soon as the safety
cable length on the drum gets unwinded.
The motor temperature control unit F79 interrupts all travel motions as soon as drive
motor 5M6 reaches a critical temperature (monitored by sensor 5B79).

11.2.1 Controlling of the drive motor
General:
In the automatic mode of control switch 5S1, the power supply to drive motor 5M6 is
controlled by the function of the travel control system, which controls relay 5K7, i.e.
while traveling the contacts of 5K7 are closed and kept closed for further 10 seconds
after stopping the travelling motion (controlled by time relay D53), before the power
supply will be interrupted and the motor brake is active.
The torque of drive motor 5M6 is controlled by the function of the relay 5K10 and
5K11; which changes the resistance at the star bridge (5R1). Both relay are
simultaneously controlled by switch 5S3 (Direction of rotation monitoring switch),
to ensure the lowest tensioning force while unwinding (i.e. traveling forward)
Winding up (automatic mode of control switch 5S1):
While winding up the NC-contact of switch 5S3 remains closed which allows
voltage to the relay 5K10 and (if the contact 21/22 of switch 5S4 is closed) also to
5K11.
Example travelling reverse:
Cable length on drum: Max. Max. => 5K10 ON + 5K11 ON => max. torque
Cable length on drum: Min. Max. => 5K10 ON + 5K11 OFF => reduced torque
Unwinding (automatic mode of control switch 5S1):
The NC-contact of switch 5S3 opens while traveling forward and de-energizes
simultaneously 5K10 and 5K11, with the result that there is just enough torque to
hold the cable tight.

The cam discs (3), arranged in pairs on the centering discs, can be adjusted
individually and continuously by means of a adjusting spanner (4) The centering
discs can be reversed and are fixed to the square shaft without clearance.
Adjustment can be performed in any position without having to turn the control
shaft. The cam discs, separated from each other by the guard plate, slide past each
other without touching during adjustment. The cam ring next to the cam ring to be
adjusted will not shift and remains in the set position.
Hollow-type rivets prevent accidental shifting of the cam discs.
By selecting the appropriate contact - either make or brake - any angle between 0
and 350 can be set without changing the cam rings.
When the cam hits the actuator (2), the latter will operate the micro switch (1).
Adjustment of the switch mechanism.
1. Loosen the tensioning nut (6) with the handle of the adjusting spanner (4).
2. Bring the adjusting spanner (4) in the position shown on illustration Z22837.
3. Set the cam discs (3) to the required position.
4. Adjust all other cam discs, following this procedure.
5. When all cam discs have been adjusted, tighten the tensioning nut.

When diodes are fitted to a relay, they are fitted to allow a current flow in one
direction only. An LED* (Light Emitting Diode) indicates a current flow if it
lights up.
When diodes ** are fitted anti-parallel to a relay coil, they absorb the high
induced voltage caused by making and breaking the current flow through the
coil.
This occurs each time we operate a switch supplying current to the coil. The
diode effect allows the induced current to circulate within the coil windings and
decay when the energy to the coil is cut.

Coding Types and Number Systems
ASCII

American Standard Code for Information Interchange: A standardized


information processing code developed in the USA based on
7 bits = 0 127 (7-bit code), (extended ASCII-code of 8-bit = 0 - 255)

Digital

(Eng. Digit) is the representation of a continuos value or a physical


quantity (e.g. voltage) in several levels as a numeric value.
With regard to automation devices one also refers to word processing
in which case a word is a number (e.g. 573).

Analogue

is the representation of a continuos physical quantity (e.g. current or


voltage) which corresponds to the value of a proportional condition
(e.g. rotational speed, routing, temperature, etc.)
For an automation device this physical value converted into 1024 levels,
for example (10-bit analogues-digital conversion). The digitalized value
thus acts within a defined range (e.g. 0 0 volts to 1024 10 volts) in
proportion to a certain input quantity (e.g. voltage). Conversely, by using
a digital-analog conversion, a digitalized value can be converted into a
continuous output signal (current, voltage).

Numeral

A value expressed in one digit: from 0 to 9 in the decimal system and 0-F
in the hexadecimal system.

Number

Value consisting of one or more numeric characters.

Baud

Unit used in serial transmission of data: bits per second (bit/s).

Baud Rate

Modulation rate or transmission speed of serial transmission of binary


numbers. The DIGSY plus uses a baud rate of 2400 baud for
communication and down-loading.

Binary

Numbers, data and information which are exclusively expressed using


the two values 0 and 1 are bivalent = binary dates and information,
exclusive with the use of digits 0 and 1 (e.g. 1 = current 0 = no current).

Dual(Binary) Number (Dual = 2) is the simplest binary numeric expression. Each


position is arranged according to increasing powers of 2.
Example: 13463dec. = 0011 0100 1001 0111dual

How to Proceed due Maintenance and Installation

Contd.:
Serious damage may happen at irrelevant opening and improper repair.
Open always the resp. circuit breaker before opening a unit.
I/O cables may only be connect or disconnect in a powerless state.
A BIM module will be damaged while supplying an external power
of 24VDC to the inputs and/ or outputs. If it is necessary for
faultfinding or external unit checks the connection to the PLC has to be
interrupted.
Without power interruption the interface cable are only allowed to be
disconnect or connect when following preconditions are given:
1. The cable must be shielded and the shield must be connected to the
cover of the plug-in connector.
2. A potential balance must be made by connecting the GND
potential parts of the plug connector parts before connecting
the cables.
Replace the fuses only by fuses which matches the values given in the
technical dates

Do not through batteries into open flame and do not solder at their cell
body, explosion can occur (max. Temperature 100 C). Do not open and
do not recharge batteries that contain lithium or mercury. Replace
them by same type only!
Dispose batteries and accumulators as special waste.

Attention: The complete shield of the analog cable must be connected to the ground
(GND) bolt of the PLC housing. This bolt must be connected to the X2
frame / machine ground by a cable (as short as possible) with 2,5 mm2
cross section.
When using plug connectors with metal boxes and connected shield the
additional complete shielding of the analog cable with the ground bolt is
not necessary. But attention must be played that the metal box is connected
by screws with the PLC housing.
The twisted signal lines are pair wise shielded and already via the 50-pol
female part of the connector connected to ground. The single shielding at
the free end of the cable must not be connected with earth.

be strong enough to carry the load current of all outputs.
It is provided with a LOAD-DUMP protection to protect (for short times)
wrong polarity and over voltage peaks.
Wrong polarity causes destroying of the module!
External 24 V supply to the outputs causes destroying of the module!

Safety Precautions for Faultfinding, Illust. Z21427

As already mentioned no external 24 V supply is allowed to the


outputs of the BIM modules of the PLC.
If it is necessary while tracing faults, the cable to the PLC must be
disconnected subsequent to a component check, thus as relays,
solenoids or others by the PLC controlled components.
Procedure: Study together with the relevant circuit diagram
1.
Find the terminal between the component and the PLC.
2.
Example terminal 8X2-280 for the solenoid valve 8Y6.1.
3.
Disconnect the wire on one side of the terminal.
4.
5.

Now supply 24 V to the solenoid and check function of it.


Finally re-connect the wire to the terminal

Binary Outputs A
2A-Short circuit proof
Each single Output of the Output group can withstand a load of 2A, but the
total load must not exceed 10 A. The Output group will be switched OFF if
one of the Output becomes overloaded (> 2 A), the short circuit marker will
be set and the MK- LED comes ON.

** 0V up to 5 V

The left half of the picture shows so named PULL-DOWN resistors and the
right half PULL-UP resistors. The resistors are installed to get a low ohmical
input. A system with contacts only leads to a (high ohmical) input if dust or
moisture bridges the contacts.
PULL-DOWN resistors are installed with a normal NC contact (means with a
de-energized relay or normal closed switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a
fault after switching ON the system.
PULL-UP resistors are installed with a normal NO contact (means with a deenergized relay or normal open switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a fault
after switching ON the system.

14.5.3 Temperature Measuring and trouble shooting Illustration Z22803a


General:
(study with the respective circuit diagram)
The signal of the PT100 temperature probe cant connect direct to the ANM
Module (Analog input of the PLC). A temperature transducer module change
the PT100 signal (Ohm) into a suitable current (mA) signal for the ANM
Module. The temperature probe is connected with a four wire technique to
compensate the line resistance of the long wire between the X2 switch board
and the temperature probe.
Analog Inputs (eg.: Hydraulic oil temperature sensor B15)
The temperature probe B15 is with 4-wire technology (distorting compensation)
connected to the transducer U15 terminal 1, 4, 2, and 3 (measuring range: -50
C......+150 C). The output terminal 5 and 6 of the transducer is connected to the
ECS analog input EW 2.1 (input range 4 20 mA). The transducer need 24 V
power supply via terminal 7 and 8 (+24V, ground).
Function:
The temperature transducer convert the
measured values from the PT100 temperature
probe into electrically standardized analog
signals. With the four wire technique the length
and the cross section of the wires are not
important; because the electrical resistance of the
two current lines gets compensated. The sensor
is supplied with a low electrical current from the
temperature transducer (I+ and I-). Additional to
the temperature probe (PT100) resistance the
line resistance influence the current flow what
falsified the PT100 measurement. To
compensate the line resistance there are two
additional lines (U+ and U-) close to the PT100
connected. Via this lines the transducer measure
exact a tension drop between in- and output of
the PT100 probe witch is only created by the
PT100 resistance. Because there is no current flow through this lines which
are influenced by the line resistance (compared to hydraulic system- its like
a test hose with a pressure gauge). The module convert this tension drop into
a current signal (4-20mA) which is proportional to the temperature.
In the interest of proper function must the line resistance not exceed 50 .
Additional the lines must be shielded according to the standards. The picture
shows the wiring of a PT100 probe to a temperature transducer in four wire
technique.

Contd.:
Possible measurements PT100:
Disconnect the wires at the resistor and measure the resistance across the
resistor.
Compare the measured resistance with the values given in the table on next
page.
If the value correspond to the temperature measured with an other temperature
gauge the PT100 resistor is OK.; otherwise replace resistor.
Wiring:
Disconnect the wires at the resistor and inside X2-box at the temperature
transducer terminal 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Measure the line resistance to the ground.
All single wire resistance must be the same.
Transducer:
Connect a Ampere-meter in line between terminal 5 of the transducer and the
disconnected wire to the ECS. Select mA range and check the current. The value
must compare to the PT100 resistance with the following calculation:
I = [( 50 + t ) x 0,08 ] + 4
t = temperature [C]
(Check temperature via PT100 resistance and temperature chart next page)
I = current [mA] to the ECS

14.6 Hints for reading the functional flow charts


14.6.1

General

Probably the best aid for trouble shooting is the confidence of knowing
the system and how to use the ECS. Every component has a purpose in
the system. The construction and operating characteristics of each one
should be understood.
Use always the electric/hydraulic circuit diagram the flowchart and
the operation manual for the specific machine.

1. Select on page 1 of the flow chart, (which contains the table of contents
and the main program) the respective subprogram, for example the
Power-Master lube system.
2. Components in the flow chart, have the same identification code as in the
electric/hydraulic circuit diagram, as shown in cross reference list (page 2-4).
For example: Relay K50 = ?
On page 2 (cross reference list) you find out that relay K50 is shown on
page 43 of the flowchart.
3. On each page of the respective subprogram you will find the functional
description in plain text.
In case of problems concerning reading the program loops, you may find
answers in the frequently asked questions list on page 6 and 7 of the flow
chart.

With the pump and controller system in a rest state a pre-set pause time interval
occurs as determined by the PLC.
Diagram position (a):
A 24 VDC signal from the PLC activate solenoid valve (2) that opens and activate
the lubrication pump. (*). As solenoid valve (2) opens hydraulic oil flows through
the pressure reducing valve (4), it lowers the hydraulically pilot oil pressure to the
operating range of the hydraulic driven lube pump. The reduced pilot oil pressure
operates now the grease pump. The oil cylinder shuttles the grease cylinder at 18
20 double strokes per minute and delivering 612 680 cm (37.3 41.5 in) of
lubricant per minute (approx. 550 612 g / 19.64 21.45 oz.)
At the same time a 24 V signal energize release valve (7), it close now the release
line to the lubrication container.
PI-phase
With energized release valve (7) (*) and solenoid valve (2) the pump continues to
cycle until maximum pressure is achieved and the injectors have metered
lubricant to the bearings.

When the maximum system pressure is reached the end-of-line switch (*) open its
contact. In the normal application is the end-of-line switch adjusted to 185 bar
(2630 psi. ).The pressure increasing phase is now finished.
The open pressure switch (*) signals the controller to stop the pumping cycle and
the controller terminates the signal to the solenoid valves (2) The pilot oil flow to

Oscillation Cylinder and Control Block, illustration Z 21174

Description:
Oscillation cylinder (6) is auto directional controlled, non pressure related. This
differential cylinder is connected to the pilot pressure suppliy line (P) and a tank
line (T). The speed is contolled by a flow contol valve (3) and the maximum
working pressure is controlled by a pressure reducing valve (2).

Function:
The Oscillatin cylinder (6) starts as soon pilot pressure is send via the connection
(P) to the control block (1). Design related the cylinder (6) retract always first
after start or from any position the piston has stopped before. When the cylinder
reaches the fully retracted position the flow will be redirected automatically and
the cylinders moves in the extending position. If the cylinder comes to an stop in
between the end positions weather the oil supply get stopped or the cylinder is
hold back by a higher work resistance than the supply pressure, the cylinder
changes direction and retracts.

1. Remove electrical plug connection form the discharge valve (7), so no
pressure built up will take place during the following test.
2. Start motor.
3. Switch ON the lube system annually and count strokes per minute, visible
on the moving up and down of pipe (1).
If adjustment is required:
a. Loosen lock nut (3.1)
b. Turn adjustment (3) until the right number of strokes is achieved.
turn set screw ccw for more speed and cw to reduce the speed
c. Tighten lock nut (3.1).
Working pressure
The pressure reducing valve (2) mounted in the oscillation control block reduce
the supply pressure internally to maximal allowed 45 bar.
The pressure ration is 6,55 to 1, that means 45 bar supply pressure result in 295 bar
maximum lubricant pressure.
At the end of line pressure switch the pressure should be 180 0,5 bar. With the
lubricant line resistance and different lubricant viscosity the pressure at the
lubricant pump output must be higher as 180 bar. For standard condition adjust the
maximum pump pressure to 220 bar 250 bar, depend on lubricant line resistance
and different lubricant viscosity.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect quick coupling (8), so the pump will be blocked when started.
2. Start motor.
3. Switch ON the lube system manually, the gauge should show 220-250 bar.
If adjustment is required:
a. Loosen lock nut (2.1)
d. Turn adjustment (2) until the right pressure is shown at the gauge.
turn set screw ccw for lower pressure and cw to increase the pressure
b. Tighten lock nut (2.1).
c. Reconnect quick coupling (8).

Function:
As soon as the adj. "Pause-Time" is finished the solenoid valves
(2) and (7) are energized. The lubricant pump (1) start to pump lubricant in
the lubricant supply line.
By the function of the solenoid valve (7) the port to the vent line (15) (return
line to the lubricant container) is closed, thus a pressure built up is possible.
The high-pressure barrel pump (1) supplies lubricant into the supply line (8). It
continuos through the lubricant filter (12) to the injectors (metering valves) (18).

The picture shows an example only. The hole system includes much
more injectors which are connected via pipes or hoses to the supply
line (8).

In the Injectors the lubricant forced with full pump pressure via the feed lines
(19) to the lube points.
The actual operating pressure can be monitored at the pressure gauge (14)
and checked at the pressure check point (17).

It follows an exemplary explanation for a central lubrication system


for machines equipped with PLC System. For details see the circuit
diagram of the respective machine. The Lubrication Systems are
PLC controlled. No relay adjustment necessary.
Central lubrication system controlling :
The PLC from the ECS System controls the whole lubrication systems.
The solenoid valves (Y7, Y7A or Y9, Y9A) on top of the lubrication stations are
direct connected to digital output ports of the PLC.
On a few machines there are additional relays between PLC outputs and the
solenoid valves.
Depend on a PLC input from the end-of-line pressure switch (B43 or B46) and a
PLC internal time counter the grease system start a lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle starts.
If the pause time elapsed the PLC energize both solenoid valves (Y7, Y7A or
Y9, Y9A) of the respective lubrication system. The motor must run. The pilot
pump pressure activate now the lubrication pump and the lubrication pressure to
the injectors increase.
If the lubricant pressure reach the adjusted pressure of the end-of-line pressure
switch (B43 or B46) its contact change and the PLC input signal change.
The PLC de energize the respective lubrication pump supply valve (Y7 or Y9) to
stop the pump. For the next 5 min the respective pressure releasing valve (Y7A
or Y9A) are continued energized to keep the lubricant pressure still on a high
level to be able all injectors inject the hole adjusted amount of lubricant.
After the 5 min. pressure holding time the PLC de energize the respective
pressure releasing valve (Y7A or5 Y9A) The lubricant pressure drops and the
injectors move by spring load back in its initial position. A PLC internal counter
is still counting a additional decreasing time to monitor the end-of-line pressure
switch (B43 or B46) position. The PLC internal time counter is still counting up
to the next lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle is finished.

With the switch S24 an additional lubrication can be carried out any time provided
the end of line pressure switch (B43) contact is closed.

Monitoring:
The orderly built-up of the pressure in the lubricant supply line is monitored by
the end-of-line switch (B43 or B46).
If the pressure adjusted at the end-of-line switch is not reached within the adjusted
maximal increasing time the PLC switch off both solenoid (Y7 and Y7A or Y9
and Y9A) valves and send the fault message Central lubrication system fault or
Swing ring lubrication system fault to the text display at the dash board.
If the excavator is still working additional four hours with faulty lubrication
system the PLC stop the bucket function. This function is to prevent trouble
depend on a lack of lubricant.

Capacitive analog sensor for lubricant level monitoring,


Illustration Z 21179f
Task:
A lubricant (L) maximum filling level monitoring is necessary to prevent an
overfilling of the grease barrel (C) via the refilling system (only systems with
refilling arm). The PLC use the analog level signal from the sensor to activate a
lamp at the refilling arm just in the moment when the lubricant container is full.
The sensor (S) is mounted on top of the lubricant container and reaches into the
lubricant.
The refilling level activate only a message at the text display to inform that the
lubricant level must be filled up. The message comes up if the lubricant level
reach 5% (910 mm from the cover plate).
The minimum level stop the respective lubrication pump and release the
lubricant pressure until the lubricant level reach the 0% mark (950 mm from the
cover plate). It is necessary to stop the lubrication system with empty lubricant
container to prevent the lubrication pump from running dry. With empty
lubricant container the bucket motion will be switched off after four hours.
Function:
The capacitively level sensor (S) check continuous the lubricant level (L) and
convert the capacitive signal into a current signal between 4 and 20mA. The
current signal increase with increasing lubricant level.
Use the specific electric circuit diagram and program flow charts.

Principle of operation:
By the lubricant pump, the lubricant is supplied to the centered bore hole (B) of the
lubrication type pinion (R). Bore hole (B) must be perfectly aligned to the center of
the lubrication type pinion (A) to be greased, so that lubricant leaves the tooth flank
always when the gear tooth is in contact. The grease outlet (D) of the lubricating type
pinion is arranged at a different angle for each tooth, so that the lubricant is distributed
in a uniform and perfect manners on the tooth flank of the drive pinion to be
lubricated.
Function:
As soon as the adjusted "Pause-Time" elapse the solenoid valves (2 + 7). energized
and the lubricant pump (1) start to pump lubricant.
By the function of the solenoid valve (8) the port to the vent line (15) (return line to
the lubricant container) closed, thus a pressure built up is possible.
The high-pressure lubricant pump (1) supplies lubricant into the supply line (8). It
continuos through the lubricant filter (12) to the injectors (metering valves) (18).

The picture shows an example with one pinion only. There are also
machines which have more lubrication type pinion (dummy wheel).
By the injectors the lubricant is forced with full pump pressure via the feed line
(19) to the centered bore hole (B) of the lubricating type pinion (R).

SAFETY HINTS FOR LIFTING HEAVY PARTS

NOTE: In order to avoid damage to the lifting devices or parts


that have to be lifted, use edge protection at all sharp
edges.
CAUTION
Heavy parts (25 kg or more) must be lifted with a hoist etc.

CAUTION
If any part cannot be removed from the machine smoothly by
hoisting, the following checks should be made:
Check for the removal of all bolts fastening the component to
other parts.
Check for existence of another part causing interference with
the component to be removed.

Safety instructions

Safety

Sling wire ropes around the middle portion of the hook. Slinging near the tip of the hook may cause the rope to slip off the
hook during hoisting, which may cause a serious accident.
Hooks have the maximum strength at the middle portion, see
Fig. 2-13.

Do not sling a heavy load with one rope alone, but sling it with
two or more ropes wound symmetrically around the load.
WARNING

Slinging with one rope may cause turning of the load during
hoisting, untwisting of the rope, or slipping of the rope from
its original winding position on the load, which may cause a
serious accident.

Fig. 2-13

Do not sling a heavy load with ropes forming a wide hanging


angle from the hook. When hoisting a load with two or more
ropes, the force subjected to each rope will increase with the
hanging angles.
Figure 2-14 shows the variation of allowable load (kg) where
hoisting is made with two ropes, each of which is allowed to
sling up to 1000 kg vertically, at various hanging angles.
When two ropes sling a load vertically, up to 2000 kg of total
weight can be lifted. This weight becomes 1000 kg when two
ropes make a 120 hanging angle. On the other hand, two
ropes are subject to an excessive force as large as 4000 kg if
they sling a 2000 kg load at a lifting angle of 150.

SAFETY HINTS FOR SLING ACCESSORY


WARNING

Always attend to local standards when using sling accessory.

Do not use rigid eye bolts from steel C 15 for lifting


(e.g. DIN 580). These eye bolts may only be loaded vertically
or with a maximum permissible angle of 45 to the ring.

Always use suitable swivel hoist rings according to local standards or Vario-Starpoint hoist rings recommended by
Komatsu, see following table:

DANGER
Vario-Starpoint hoist rings are not suited for turning under
load.
After installing Starpoint hoist ring disengage the star key.
Adjust ring plane in direction of pull before attaching sling
accessory.

DANGER
Eye bolts or sling accessory which is not suitable can result
in serious accidents.

Check that the wire rope, chains, and hooks are free from
damage.

Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity.

Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist


or crane and operate slowly to prevent the component from
hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still raised by
the hoist or crane.

HYDRAULIC COOLER FAN DRIVE PUMPS

The hydraulic cooler fan drive pump is a fixed displacement pump


with variable setting. The pump of the type A7F0 is a variable displacement pump, designed to operate in open circuits. It has an
internal case drain return. The rotary group is a robust self aspirating unit. External forces may be applied to the drive shaft
The hydraulic cooler fan drive pumps are mounted at both PTOs
(Fig. 3-47, Pos.1 and Pos. 2).

Fig. 3-47
Each hydraulic fan drive pump (Fig. 3-48, Pos. 10.1 and 10.3)
supplies one hydraulic oil cooler fan drive, one additional oil
cooler fan drive, and one PTO cooler fan drive.

Fig. 3-48
Changing the swivel angle of the rotary group is achieved by sliding the control lens along a cylindrical formed track by means of
an adjusting screw.
z

With an increase in the swivel angel, the pump output


increases together with the necessary drive torque.

With a decrease in the swivel angel, the pump output


decreases together with the necessary drive torque.

NOTE: When increasing to maximum swivel angle, there is a


danger of cavitation and over-speeding the hydraulic
motor.

ADDITIONAL HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY

There are two cooler elements mounted in one frame on top of


the standard hydraulic oil cooler. The air stream needed for the
cooling is produced by hydraulically driven fans. The air flows
from inside to outside through the coolers.
For better cleaning, the cooler frames are mounted via hinges to
the cooler support so the cooler frames can be opened ("swing
out cooler").

Fig. 3-53
The two cooler fans are driven by hydraulic motors. Each motor is
supplied by one hydraulic pump.
The hydraulic pump (Fig. 3-54, Pos. 2) on PTO 1 (Fig. 3-54,
Pos. 1) supplies the first hydraulic fan motor (Fig. 3-54, Pos. 3).
The hydraulic pump (Fig. 3-54, Pos. 5) on PTO 2 (Fig. 3-54,

Hydraulic oil reservoir

The returning oil from the system flows via the lines (Fig. 3-66,
Pos. 3) into the collector tube (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 4). On the top side
of it the back pressure valve (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 2) is installed. The
back pressure valve causes a back pressure which forces most of
the relative hot oil via the lines (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 5) to the oil cooler
(Fig. 3-66, Pos. 8).
On the flow to the hydraulic oil cooler the hydraulic oil passes the
restrictor (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 7), gets cooled in the oil cooler and then
flows through the lines (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 6) into the filter chamber
of the hydraulic oil
reservoir (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 9).
The restrictors acts as shock absorbers to prevent cooler cracks
created from pressure peaks.
Besides the back pressure valve acts as an oil flow control valve
as far as the oil temperature has not reached its steady temperature. During the warm-up period (1/2 Qmax) the back pressure
valve (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 2) is wide open, because the solenoid valve
(Fig. 3-66, Pos. 1) is energized, which results in less oil flow
through the cooler which causes the oil getting its optimum operating temperature quicker.
With increasing oil temperature the oil gets thinner, so that the
main pumps can be shifted to Qmax position and simultaneously
the solenoid valve (Fig. 3-66, Pos. 1) will be de-energized, so that
the valve piston will be closed further by the force of the spring
resulting in more oil passing the cooler.

There are eight hydraulic oil cooler elements in front of the


hydraulic oil reservoir on the left-hand side of the platform.
Four cooler elements (Fig. 3-67, Pos. 3) are mounted in one
frame at a time. So two frames (Fig. 3-67, Pos. 4) are installed
with four cooler elements in each frame. The air stream needed
for the cooling is produced by hydraulically driven fans. The air
flows from inside to outside through the coolers
For better cleaning, the cooler frames are mounted via hinges to
the cooler support so the cooler frames can be opened. ("swing
out cooler").
The two cooler fans (Fig. 3-67, Pos. 1 and 2) are driven by
hydraulic motors.

Fig. 3-67
Each fan drive motor is supplied by one hydraulic pump. The
hydraulic pump (Fig. 3-68, Pos. 2) on PTO 1 (Fig. 3-68, Pos. 1)
supplies the lower hydraulic fan motor (Fig.3-67, Pos. 2).
The hydraulic pump (Fig. 3-68, Pos. 4) on PTO 2 (Fig. 3-68,
Pos. 3) supplies the upper hydraulic fan motor (Fig. 3-67, Pos. 1).
The fans are mounted directly to the hydraulic motors drive shaft.

SERVICE LINE RELIEF VALVES (SRV)

The service line relief valves are pilot operated relief valves. The
SRV limit the maximum possible pressure in the service lines created by external force. The valves are designed with an opening
characteristic. That means, if the valve is activated after the
response procedure, no further pressure increase is possible and
damage is avoided. Service relief valves are located on the main
control valve blocks on the manifold and in the throttle check
valves, refer to section 3.8.11.1 on page 3-138.
NOTE: SRVs are also installed in the travel system, refer to section 4.2.8.1 on page 4-40.

The anti-cavitation valves (ACV) are installed to avoid cavitation


damages on users (hydraulic cylinders) by compensating a lack
of oil when the SRV at the opposite side of the cylinder opens.
See hydraulic circuit diagram.
The circuit pressure in the line (Fig. 3-121, Pos. A/B) keeps the
valve cone (Fig. 3-121, Pos. 2) closed. The pressure of the supply line (Fig. 3-121, Pos. S) forces onto the valve cone. The valve
cone opens, whenever the pressure at the A and B side is lower
than the back pressure at the return oil port S, to allow the necessary oil supply to get into the circuit.

General:
Brake applied:
The outer disks engaged to the housing by serration and the inner
disks in serrated connection with the drive shaft are pressed
together by the springs. This results in a fixed connection
between housing and drive shaft due to the friction between the
spring pressurized discs.
Brake released:
Oil pressure via the pilot port reaches the bottom of the piston and
forces the piston upwards against the thrust washer and the
spring force. This eliminates the spring force towards the disks so
that the friction between the discs is released and the inner shaft
can rotate. Only the brake of the L&S gear box uses an additional
spacer ring (sinus ring) to keep the discs apart. It should reduce
the friction in released condition.
The minimum release pressure is 19 - 20 bar. In normal working
conditions, the releasing pressure is about 60 bar.
NOTE: The slew parking brake must only be applied with the
superstructure at a complete standstill. Applying the parking brake with the superstructure still slewing may result
in severe damage to the brake.
WARNING
z

Only use the slew parking brake in emergency situations


to stop the rotating superstructure.

If the parking brake has been used for an emergency


stop, it is necessary to shut down the excavator and to
have the parking brake of each swing gear inspected and
repaired if necessary. Contact your Komatsu dealer for
repairing the brakes.

Whenever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used,


pilot pressure is present at port X of the pressure increase valve
(Fig. 3-160, Pos. 1). The pilot pressure preloads the relief valve.
The oil for the hydraulic motor from the main control valve block
feeds the service line port A or B depending of the slew direction
left or right. The ports A and B are internally connected to the
ports A and B and these ports in turn with the hydraulic motor.
The operating pressure at either port A or B closes the anti-cavitation valves (Fig. 3-160, Pos. 4 and 5) and opens the check valves
(Fig. 3-160, Pos. 2 and 3). That means the service lines are connected to the pressure increase valve by the check valves
(Fig. 3-160, Pos. 2 and 3).
Whenever the pressure is higher than the setting of the pressure
increase valve, the valve opens and dumps oil into the return line
T to the reservoir. If the superstructure is slewing by dynamical
momentum, the motor is driven by the slew gear and acts as a
pump. The pressure in the service lines to the motor changes.

Version 2010/1

PC8000-6E

Slew system

Superstructure

The low pressure return line becomes pressurized and the pressurized service line changes to suction line. The service line is
closed at the main control valve block so the oil can only circulate
through the brake valve blocks pressure increase valve.

Fig. 3-161 Pressure increase valve


Whenever a swinging motion is carried out or the foot brake is
used, pilot pressure is present at port X of the pressure increasing
valve. The pilot pressure preloads the relief valve.
By applying pilot pressure via the external port X to piston
(Fig. 3-161, Pos. 12), the pretension of the spring (Fig. 3-161,
Pos. 10) is increased by the amount of the piston stroke S which
results in a higher pressure setting for the pilot valve.
The system pressure is present at the main piston (Fig. 3-161,
Pos. 13) and via the jet bore (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 6) in the chamber
of the spring (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 7) as well. System pressure also is
present at the pressure relief valve cone (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 9) via
the jet bore (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 8).
Due to the force balance, the piston (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 13) is kept
in its position, supported by the spring (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 7).
If the system pressure is higher than the setting of the valve
(Fig. 3-161, Pos. 9) the valve opens a channel to the drain port Y.
Due to the drop of pressure, the piston (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 13) is
moved by the spring (Fig. 3-161, Pos. 7). The pressure line is
connected to the return line T.
Dampened opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change that is caused by the jet bores.

The swing circle lubrication system (SLS) lubricates the open


gear of the outer slew ring with special open gear lubricant.
The lubricant pump station (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 1) is identical with
the central lubrication system (CLS), refer to section 3.10.2 on
page 3-198. To apply the lubricant equably to the outer slew ring
teeth (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 7), a special lubrication pinion (Fig. 3-175,
Pos. 8) is mounted near each drive pinion of the slew gears. The
lubrication pinion (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 8) distributes the lubricant
from the injectors (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 3) evenly to the teeth. Normally two or more small SL1 injectors (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 3) are
parallel connected to supply the required amount of lubricant to
the lubrication pinion.
NOTE: The pinion centre shaft (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 10) acts as a
rotary joint and distributes lubricant through radial
drillings only to the teeth, witch are in contact with the
outer slew ring gear teeth.
Outlet bores (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 9 on different position of
the pinion gear distribute the lubricant equably to the
outer slew ring teeth (Fig. 3-175, Pos. 7).

The lubrication pump station includes two single lubrication


pumps and a grease container for each lubrication pump. Each
lubrication pump has its own lubrication system:

One lubrication pump of the central lubrication system (CLS).

One lubrication pump of the swing circle pinion lubrication


System (SLS).

The lubrication pump is a hydraulically driven seal-free differential piston pump. The pump pumps lubricant during the up
and down stroke but sucks lubricant only during the up stroke.
The scoop piston at the pump bottom supports the main
pump with high viscosity lubricants. There is only one
dynamic seal at the piston rod on top of the pump pipe.

The lubrication pump is divided in two main components, the


pump drives hydraulic cylinder and the pump. The pump drive
and only the pump outlet are outside on top of the lubricant container, the pump itself is mounted inside and reaches into the
lubricant.

TRACK TENSIONING ACCUMULATORS

The hydraulic track tensioning system automatically maintains the


correct track tension. The pilot oil pressure of the travel brake
release circuit is used to pressurize the four adjusting cylinders.
The resulting force moves the guide wheels toward the front, until
the correct track tension is obtained. External forces acting upon
the guide wheels are absorbed through the pressure accumulators (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 1 and 2).
Two different types of pressure accumulators are installed:
Four high pressure (150 bar) bladder accumulators (Fig. 4-25,
Pos. 1) in the car body and a low pressure (31 bar) diaphragm
type accumulators (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 2) in each crawler carriers.

Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motors
to the hydraulic oil reservoir depending on the operating pressure.
This braking action prevents the motors from over speeding.
Function:
The spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position.
restricted by an internal restrictor. With increasing operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from port A to port
A1 respectively from port B to port B1, depending on the selected
travel motion (refer to Fig. 4-44).
Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves the spool (Fig. 4-44, Pos. 1)
against the force of the spring (Fig. 4-44, Pos. 2) and opens the
way for the return oil from port B1 to port B.
The check valve (Fig. 4-44, Pos. 3) prevents a direct oil flow from
port B1 to port B.
If the operating pressure decreases to an amount so that the
spring force overcomes the force of the spool, the oil flow to the
tank becomes restricted again, resulting in braking of the
machine.

The required tightening torque for all fastening bolts has to be


determined with the 4 measuring bolts (Fig. 4-91, Pos. 7), which
dimension is analogous to the fastening bolts (Fig. 4-91,
Pos. M48). The required axial tension force of the bolts depends
on the elongation of the fastening bolts.
NOTE: The tightening torque must be determined at the first
assembly of the excavator at the operation site, for the
first inspection, and after 1000 operation hours, or after
replacing either crawler carrier or car body.
The required measuring device, PN 928 476 40 is delivered with
the excavator. To determine the tightening torque, 4 specially prepared measuring bolts are supplied besides the normal fastening
bolts. The measuring bolts can be recognized by the machined
area at the end of the bolt.

The rotary distributor (rotary joint) permits a hydraulic connection


between the superstructure and the undercarriage. That means
there is an unrestricted hydraulic connection installed between
the rotating and stationary part which allows free rotation in both
slew directions.
During operation the superstructure and the undercarriage rotate
towards each other. The travel motors must be supplied with
hydraulic oil in each position in which the superstructure is slewed
against the undercarriage.
The rotary joint is hollow-bored, so the main power cable to the
slip ring runs through the center of the rotary joint.

Special tools:

n/a
Safety harness in conformity with EN 361
Mobile elevator working platform
Infrared thermometer
Oil drain pan

Additional equipment:
Hydraulic hose with 2" 6000 PSI SAEflange
The SAEflange size depends on the cylinder flange size, the hose
should be long enough to lead from the respective cylinder to an oil
pan.
For further information about the needed blind plugs, refer to section
6.6 on page 6-14.
The cylinder bypass test can be performed to check if a hydraulic
cylinder has an internal leakage.
NOTE: A cylinder with an internal leakage also has a higher temperature (at working temperature of the machine) than a
hydraulic cylinder which has no internal leakage.
WARNING
Always wear a safety harness when working at the attachment.

NOTE: First check the hydraulic cylinder temperature using an


infrared thermometer if an internal leakage is assumed. If
the temperature is not higher than the temperature of the
other cylinders, another reason e.g. leakage of a valve
may be the reason for loosing pressure.
If the temperature is higher than the temperature of the
other cylinders, perform the following steps:
z

Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system, refer to the


Operation & Maintenance Manual, chapter 3, section
"RELIEVE PRESSURE IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM".

Fig. 5-89

NOTE: Use only one engine at Qmin.


WARNING
Make sure that nobody is at close range of the hydraulic
hoses open end when extending the cylinder.

Fully extend the hydraulic cylinder at Qmin.

NOTE: The oil inside the cylinder will flow out of the hydraulic
hose (Fig. 5-89, Pos. 1) connected to the piston rod side
of the cylinder. Catch it in the oil pan.
z

When the piston of the cylinder reaches its mechanical stop,


continue to extend the cylinder.

If the cylinder has an internal leakage, some oil will continuously


flow out of the hydraulic hose (Fig. 5-89, Pos. 1) connected to the
piston rod side of the cylinder.
If the cylinder has no internal leakage, oil will stop flowing out of

CONVERSION TABLE

6.7.1

METHOD OF USING THE CONVERSION TABLE

The Conversion Table in this section is provided to enable simple


conversion of figures. For details of the method of using the Conversion Table, see the example given below.
EXAMPLE:
Method of using the Conversion Table to convert from millimeters
to inches.
Convert 55 mm into inches:
z

Locate the number 50 in the vertical column at the left side,


take this as (A), then draw a horizontal line from (A).

Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as
(B), then draw a perpendicular line down from (B).

Take the point where the two lines cross as (C). This point (C)
gives the value when converting from millimeters to inches.
Therefore, 55 millimeters = 2.165 inches.

Convert 550 mm into inches:


z

The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide by 10


(move the decimal one place to the left) to convert it to 55
mm.

Carry out the same procedure as above to convert 55 mm to


2.165 inches.

The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply


2.165 inches by 10 (move the decimal one place to the right)
to return to the original value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65
inches.

2. Safety Instructions

Assign trained or well-instructed personnel only, and clearly define the respective
spheres of responsibility for the repair work.

Inform the operating personnel prior to the commencing special and regular
maintenance work.

Secure the maintenance area amply enough, as far as required.

Carry out repair and maintenance work only with the machine standing on firm and level
ground and secured against rolling away and sinking in.

During exchange action, fix and secure individual parts and assemblies carefully to the
lifting devices so that they cannot become dangerous in any way. Use exclusively
suitable lifting devices consistent with sound engineering and load-lifting elements with
sufficient load-bearing capacity! Never stay or work beneath suspended loads!

Entrust experienced personnel only with fastening and securing of loads and guiding
crane operators! The guide has to be within the operator's visual range or have voice
contact with him.

In case of assembly work exceeding body height, use suitable and otherwise secure
means of access and working platforms. Never step on machine parts as an access!
For maintenance work at higher levels, use the appropriate safety devices! Keep all
handles, steps, handrails, landings, working platforms, ladders, etc. free from dirt, snow
and ice!

Retighten immediately all bolted connections loosened during repair and maintenance
work!

If disassembly of safety devices is required for rigging, maintenance, and repair,


reassembly and checking of such safety devices has to be carried out immediately after
having finished the respective work.

Strictly observe all safety instructions and warnings in the country of destination.

AH00511f

3. General

Before removing swing circle mark location of both slew rings to superstructure
and the carbody as well for further investigations.

Shocks to the swing circle, especially radial ones, must be avoided.

Transport and store exclusively with transport star fitted. It is strictly forbidden to
hook up the SR (Slew Ring) at the transport star.

Hang up and/or transport and store swing circle only horizontally. If a special
attachment is available, the transportation and storage in oblique position may be
carried out.

Only hang SR at four/three eyebolts evenly distributed in screw circle of the upper
ring.

Prior to mounting the SR clean all supporting surfaces and the toothing, if
necessary clean those areas with fat solvents, methylene chloride, cold cleaners.
The cleaning agents must not enter the races. Hence, the swing circle has to be
thoroughly lubricated before and after cleaning.

With each replacement swing circle and each new machine, fastening bolts,
measuring bolts, a measuring device and mounting compound
P/N. 324 969 40 will be delivered. If this parts delivery is not complete, please get
immediately in contact with KOMATSU MINING GERMANY, because a proper
mounting may not be possible in case of missing items.

AH00511f

4. Measurements

Check the level of bearing area (only center section undercarriage) with a laser device
before installing a new slew ring.
To prevent incorrect measuring results caused by partial sun radiation onto the pedestal
/carbody it is recommended that the whole area be protected from the direct sunlight.

Legend
ID
= Inner diameter slewring (mm)
OD = Outer diameter slewring (mm)

= 3.14
P
= Maximum Deviation (deflection) (mm)

P = (OD ID) 1000

Example: OD = 4000 mm
ID = 3600 mm

P=

If the measured value exceeds the calculated value P, the


surface has to be remachined.

AH00511f

Page 5 of 20

Check the outer diameter of the new slewring top surface and compare with the outer
diameter of the factory machined surface of the superstructure.
Remove the shoulder by machining if necessary.

A shoulder exists only at some excavators.

AH00511f

Page 6 of 20

5. Determination of tightening torque


The required tightening torque for all fastening bolts (inner and outer) has to be
determined with the measuring bolts, which dimension is analogous to the outer
fastening bolts mounted to carbody / swing circle.
The required axial tension force of the bolts is determined by means of the
elongation of the fastening bolts, carbody and swing circle.
The tightening torque must be determined each time the SR (Slew Ring) is
replaced as well as at the first assembling of the excavator at the operation site
and for the first and final inspection after 1000 operation hours.
The required measuring device is delivered with the excavator or with the SR (Slew
Ring)
(see ill.).
To determine the tightening torque, eight specially prepared test bolts are
supplied besides the normal fastening bolts. The test bolts can be recognized at
the centering (Z) in the bolt head and in the end of the threads.
The measuring device is composed of the following items and will be delivered with
each replacement swing circle and each new machine:

(1) Measuring jaw


(2) Test block

1pce.
1pce.

(3) Measuring bolt


(4) Washer

8pcs.
1pce.

For the determination of the tightening torque, the eight measuring bolts have to
be mounted one by one to the measuring device as illustrated. Then the bolt has
to be tightened in steps to the prescribed elongation (see table page 05). The
needed tightening torque will be determined as a result of average of eight
tightening torque's. For the exactly procedure refer to the following pages.

AH00511f

Page 7 of 20

For the determination of the torque / or pressure (hydr. torque multiplier) for the
elongation of the test bolts proceed according to illustration on page 03 and the
following description.
Before the mounting of the measuring bolts (3) to the jaw, the bearing surface of
head, threads and washers have to be applied with compound P/N. 324 969 40.
Screw test bolt (3) with washer (4) in test block (2) and tighten manually.
Fit jaw (1) and micrometer gauge into the centering "Z" of the bolt and set
gauge to zero.
Increase tightening torque of test bolts by steps of app. 200 Nm until the
required elongation of the bolt according to the table is reached.

6. Mounting of a Swing circle (refer to ill. pages 06/08)

Depending on the model, bushes (11) or washers (10) have to be mounted.

AH00511f

Page 9 of 20

When replacing the swing circle, all fastening bolts must also
be replaced.

The eight measuring bolts have to be mounted equally distributed on the outer ring
of the swing circle.
If scratches are found at supporting surfaces of washers or bushes, they must be
reworked or replaced.
Replacement swing circles has to be mounted without dowel pins.
If the mounted SR (Slew Ring) was fixed to the platform with dowel pins, remove
these ones.

Clean fat-free supporting surfaces (A) carbody and platform.

Supporting surfaces (A) must be absolutely fat-free. Even the solvent must be rinsed
away before assembling.

Check surface evenness (A).

The swing circles (5/6) must have good contact to the carbody and superstructure
platform.

Check mating surfaces with feeler gauge.

Check lube lines for correct condition and grease passage.

Check accordance of tapped and through holes in SR (Slew Ring) with those in
carbody and platform. Discordance's may easily cause distortions of SR.

AH00511f

Page 10 of 20

For removal and assembly always use a mounting cross (M).


Fabricate mounting cross (M) according to the drawing or
order it under giving the corresponding P/N. The construction
drawing of the mounting cross has to be ordered from the
Parts Department if necessary.

Deposit and center SR with transport star (T, see page 07) on mounting cross (M).
Check length of threads in platform and SR, if necessary retap.
Place SR at its fastening position under the jacked-up platform.

Adjustment: Unhardened spot S


For the adjustment of the Unhardened spot "S", see illustration.
The Unhardened spot of race surfaces (changeover area between beginning and
ending of hardening process) is punch marked with a "S" at the inner resp. outer side
of each race ring (5 and 6), see illustration.
These spots "S" must not be placed within the main load area of the swing circle.
Hence, the unhardened spot "S" has to be turned in an angle of 90 to the main load
area as illustrated.

AH00511f

Page 12 of 20
Lift SR until approx. 10 mm below the platform (observe unhardened spot "S").
Screw fastening bolts (7) with washers (10) through swing circle into the
platform. Slightly treat bolt heads, threads and washers with Compound,
P/N 324 969 40.
Lift SR to the supporting surface by screwing in the bolts crosswise.
Lower mounting cross.
Remove transport cross.

Tooth back lash

The tooth back lash is the play measured by a


feeler gauge in point D if tooth A press on the
reference circle (B) against tooth C.
On swing circle where you find a green
color marking on 3 teeth, rotate the lower ring
(6) until the 3 green marked teeth are mating
with the teeth of a slew pinion.

Note:
The green teeth indicate the point of the SR
having the greatest circularity deviation of
the reference circle (positive deviation).
At this narrowest spot, a tooth backlash
clearance according to the chart should be
measured.
On machines without green color marking
at the teeth, adjust backlash at 4 points
evenly distributed according to the following
dimensions.

AH00511f

Page 13 of 20
Before lowering the platform with SR on center section of the undercarriage:
1. Mark 4 teeth(1; 2; 3; 4 - refer to illustration) displaced by 90 .
The slew gears are marked gear 1, gear 2 and gear 3 (if so present).
2. Rotate the slew ring so far that tooth 1 is engaged at pinion of slew gear 1.
3. Measure play between A and D. Note value in the table below.
C means tooth 1 and must have contact at point B.
4. Rotate superstructure further until tooth 1 is engaged at pinion of slew gear 2.
Measure play as described under step 3.
5. Rotate superstructure further until tooth 1 is engaged at pinion of slew gear 3.
Measure play as described under step 3.
6. Rotate superstructure further that tooth two is engaged at pinion of slew gear 1.
Measure play and note value in table.
7. Carry out same measuring procedure as described for the other teeth.
At the end for every slew gear, four dimensions are noted in the table.
8. If necessary, adjust the backlash by displacement of the SR. For the correct
backlash, refer to chart above.
9. Hints for the three slew gear version:
Adjust an equal play at pinion of slew gear 1 and 3 by shifting the slew ring.
For this use the installed adjusting bolts.
Afterwards adjust play at slew gear 2 to the same value before adjusted at 1 and 3.

Hints for rotating the slew ring
1. Remove the slew motor.
2. If the excavator is equipped with more than one slew motor:
Remove the hoses at the other slew motor(s).
3. Loosen the slew brake(s) by applying external pressure (25 - 60 bar).
4. Use the below shown tool in place of the removed slew motor for rotating
the slew ring (drive: 36 mm).

Tighten all SR fastening bolts with the torque determined. Use the
same torque multiplier you have used for the determination.

Before mounting the bearing surface of bolt head, threads


and washers have to be applied with compound
P/N 324 969 40.

Fasten crosswise fastening bolts (7) with the previously determined tightening torque
(see page 05). This has to be performed twice or three times, to ensure a setting of the
bolts.
During tightening check permanently toothed outer ring (6) for easy running. For this
purpose unscrew hydraulic lines of slew motor and loosen all slew brakes by applying
external pressure (25 - 60 bar).
Check for easy motion in all ranges by turning the outer ring (6).

After tightening of all bolts (7) from SR to the superstructure, the tooth backlash
has to be checked once more at 4 points, if necessary adjust again.

Lower platform with SR on center section of the undercarriage. Watch position of


not hardened spot "S" of the ring (6) according to illustration on page 09. If
necessary turn ring (6).

Screw in 8 measuring bolts with washers resp. bushings (11) evenly distributed
and the other fastening bolts (8) with washers (10), and bushings (11).

Tighten crosswise all fastening bolts (7/8) with the previously determined
tightening torque. This has to be performed twice or three times, to ensure a
setting of the bolts.

AH00511f

Page 16 of 20

7. Checking of bolts
To compensate settling between SR and parts connected to it the bolts must be
checked after 1000 operation hours. If necessary retighten bolts with the
determined torque (refer to page 05).

Unscrew the eight test bolts (4) of the connection SR / carbody.


Determine the required torque with these eight test bolts (4) in the test block (2).
For the procedure, refer to the pages 03 - 05.
Retighten all bolts (4/7/8) with the same torque multiplier you have used for the
determination.
On the models H 285 - H 685 for the retightening of the bolts of the connection SR
/ platform you need an extension, Part-No. 232 511 40.

8. Lubrication and maintenance (RDV)


8.1.

Races of roller bearings

Races must be lubricated regularly using high quality brands of lubricants.


This is particularly important before and after longer interruptions of operation (e.g.
winter intermission).
The grease content in the race system is intended to avoid friction, to seal and to
prevent corrosion. Greasing must be done abundantly until a continuous collar of
grease pours out of the entire circumference of the upper seal "L" and the lower
bearing gap "G".
When greasing check visually the upper bearing seal "L" and, if necessary, replace
immediately in order to prevent dirt and/or water to penetrate into the race system.

Avoid cleaning agents to enter the race system when


cleaning the excavator with high-pressure water or with vapor
blast apparatuses. Before and after each cleaning grease
thoroughly. The even distribution of grease requires slewing
of the superstructure during greasing.

AH00511f

Page 17 of 20

Lubricating by central lube systems use


With central lube systems, the lubricating intervals are controlled by the time control
unit and the grease quantity is controlled by the adjustable metering valves / distributor
valves in order to meet the local requirements.
Manual greasing
The lubrication intervals can be found in the Lubrication and Maintenance Manual.
Before greasing clean grease nipples.
Shorter intervals must be selected in tropical climate, in high humidity, under important
effects of dust and dirt, considerable changes of temperature and continuous slewing
motions e.g. during material transfer.
Lubricants
For greasing only use high quality grease which meets the requirements of the
KOMATSU MINING GERMANY Lubricant Specification 011 597 99 (published in July
1995) section A.
When choosing the grease, consider the ambient temperature range.
Exchange of the lip type seal "L" (see ill., page 06)
If a damage of the seal is determined while greasing operation, it has to be exchanged
immediately, to avoid damages, caused by contamination.
The exchange has to be performed as follows:

Remove the complete lip type seal.


Clean groove fat-free, remove lip remainder completely
Insert new lip type seal (P/N, refer Parts Catalogue). The seal must not be
stretched during pushing in.
Finally, the seal has to be cut to the needed length and the ends has to be glued
together. The gluten is available under P/N 989 965.

Swing circle gear lubrication system

The most important requirement of a swing circle gear lubricant, besides the extreme
pressure resistance, is its optimum adhesion to the tooth flanks, which can only be obtained
by using the recommended lubricants in the prescribed temperature ranges. The following
table includes several adhesive lubricants providing excellent results on several machines
under different working conditions.
The use of other lubricants is not recommended before consultation of Dept. 8151.

8.3 General
The adhesive lubricants protect the tooth profile against dust, dirt, and damage
resulting from driving or braking actions. However, this protection is effective only
when the adhesive greases have been applied to clean surfaces where it can form a
continuous coating.
When bright spots show up at the tooth profile the toothing must be sprayed or laid on
immediately with the special adhesive grease.
When visiting customers, the service staff or dealers should also check the machine
equipment and stock of lubricant and advise the exchange, if necessary, to prevent
premature wear of the toothing.

The adhesive lubricants provide totally different features


compared to the Bearing greases / MPG (e.g. used in the central
lubrication system). Hence, those lubricants must not be
replaced against each other or mixed.
Example: This may happen when grease pressed out of the upper
sealing system of the races forms too big collar at the
swing circle and penetrates into the toothing. This
eventuality must be avoided by removing the excess
grease.

If tooth profiles of the slewing connection have been damaged


due to one of the above mentioned reasons they do not fall
under our warranty.

1. Sprocket types
1.1 Standard sprocket
The standard sprocket has to be used in case of assembling new machine or
regenerating the track group in connection with new track pads.
1.2 Oversize sprocket
The oversize sprocket has to be used to compensate chain elongation, wear on
sprocket diameter and wear in the roller path on track pads, caused by the wear of
the chain, if the X-dimension / circular pitch, comes up to 0.5 mm
(see Service Bulletin 21-205 latest edition).
This retrofitting assures assembly condition of the X dimension of a new machine,
furthermore the service life of the track group will be increased.
The oversize sprocket is available without a sprocket hub, if the old one is reuseable.
For the part no. of sprockets and the mounting procedure, refer to the following
pages.
The conversion of the sprockets is very time- and cost-intensive, so it is
recommended to exchange the final-drive bearings at the same time if the
dimensions have reached the wear tolerances, to avoid a standstill of the machine for
the final-drive bearing exchange only.
Before placing the order, pay attention to Service News AH00515 and Parts
Catalogue for correct choice of the bush type.
Basically, all seals (4; 5; 6; 10, see page 04) according to Parts Catalogue have be
replaced.

The difference between the standard version (NT) and the very
low temperature version (TT) are only the bolts. The sprocket
and the shearing pins are the same.

1. Wear and tear measurements


The wear- and tear-measurements on the bearing bushings in mounted condition
inform quickly and exactly about the axial and parallel abrasion, without quickly a
time and cost-intensive disassembly of the final drive.
It is recommended to perform the measurements every 5000 working hours to
avoid consequential damages as a result of a too high abrasion amount.
The wear- and tear-measurements are described and illustrated on the following
pages.

SUBJECT:

Adhesive lubricants for the Slew Ring Gear

PURPOSE:

Revision

APPLICATION:

All types

FAILURE CODE:

2500Z9

DESCRIPTION:
The transmission of a torque from the slew pinion to the toothing of the slew ring
causes the slewing of the superstructure. The existing extreme force in this section
requires the separating of the engaged gears by means of grease film, to ensure a
proper damping of shocks and to prevent metallic abrasion.
Adhesive lubricants may be applied by means of an automatic slew ring gear
lubrication system or manually by a spatula, a brush or a spray tin. Automatically
tooth lubrication systems provides the upper most protection because of the
continuously uninterrupted lubrication, permanent checks are not required.

AH00519e

Page 2 of 4

Independent of the lubricant and lubrication system, the


toothing should be visually checked approx. every 500 working
hours. If the check is not possible because of applied lubricant,
the toothing has to be cleaned at several points equally
distributed on the circumference of the slew ring. In case of
wear or damages, Dept. 8151 has to be informed to discuss
suitable remedies.

These adhesive lubricants provide totally different features


compared to the Bearing greases / MPG (e.g. used in the
central lubrication system). Hence, those lubricants must not
replace against each other or mixed.
Example: This may happen when grease (1) pressed out of the
upper sealing system of the races forms too big collar at
the slew ring and penetrates into the toothing (2).
This eventuality must be avoided by removing the excess
grease.

AH00519e

Page 3 of 4
The following table includes several adhesive lubricants providing excellent results on
several machines under different working conditions.
The use of other lubricants is not recommended before consultation of Dept. 8151.

Preparation for the excavator disassembly
Put the 2 big concrete blocks (1) in the middle beside the crawlers.
Put on every big concrete block 2 little concrete blocks (2) with a distance of about 1 m.
Turn the superstructure for about 90.
Mount the lifting brackets (3) with the boom cylinder pins to the superstructure.
Line up 2 little concrete blocks, 2 hydraulic jacks and 2 metal sheets under the lifting
brackets (the lifting height has to be approx. 80 mm).
Line up the other 2 little concrete blocks, 2 hydraulic jacks and 2 metal sheets at the
back site of the excavator under the longitudinal girders of the superstructure.
Put the metal wedges for compensating of the slope between metal sheets and carrier;
tack weld the wedges with longitudinal welding seams.

injector with the same number.
Extend the 4 hydraulic jacks so far that they touch the lever arms and superstructure.
Disconnect the high pressure hoses from the ports (manifold) at the travel motors of
the excavator.
Temporarily reconnect the flow and return line hoses to prevent unnecessary loss of
system hydraulic oil.
Connect the supply and return lines of the foreign hydraulic system to the excavator
travel motors by means of long hoses.
Use small diameter hoses e.g. inner dia. 16 or 20 mm, because even under pressure
these ones are easier to handle (more flexible).

AH01516a

Page 3 of 7

Check these hoses for suitability for pressure up to 350 bar.

To connect these hoses to the travel motors make use of the plug flanges that are
used to plug the ports when the excavator is shipped from factory. Drill a hole into
these and weld on a welding - flange.
Release the parking brakes by means of manual pump (pressure among 26 and 50
bar). Connect both brake pressure lines by a T-union and connect this to the manual
pump. Release pressure: 26 bar.
Connect the leakage lines of the excavator travel motors to the hydraulic tank of the
foreign hydraulic system. It is vital to check the hydraulic oil level of the foreign
hydraulic continuously.

SUBJECT:

Testing wear and tear of swing circle bearing

PURPOSE:

In time ordering of a new swing circle


in order to prevent unexpected downtime

APPLICATION:

All types

FAILURE CODE:

2500CA

DESCRIPTION:
For assessing the condition of the swing circle bearing, we recommend that its normal
wear rate is determined.
The first measurement must be performed when the excavator is put into operation in order to
obtain a base value for subsequent repeat measurements.
The following measurements have to be effected:
1. Period of the first 10.000 h:
2. Period more than 10.000 h:

every 5.000 working hours;


every 2.500 working hours.

After finishing the measurements, record the values obtained in a tabular form.
The diagram shows the principle of bearing wear progression.
If the increased wear situation is reached, prepare the changing of the swing circle.

We recommend to turn the swing circle (180) after 20 000


working hours.

The professional and regular inspection increases the service life of the track group and
can avoid early and very expensive repairs, including unforeseen standstill of the machine.
It is recommended to perform the inspections every 3 month or 1500 working hours
according to the description and to fill in the measured values to the table on page 10.
The measurements are described in detail and illustrated on the following pages.
To prevent unnecessary problems and standstills and to assure fast help when wear limits
are reached, it is recommended to send the filled-in tables in the mentioned intervals to
Komatsu Mining Germany, Service Department 8151.

The adjusting range for track tension is the distance X between guide wheel slide block
(2) and stop plate (3). Depending on the stretching of the track the slide block (2) may
come in contact with stop plate (3). In such a case, it must be ensured that the track does
not become too loose. Depending on track condition; the removal of one track pad will
restore the adjusting range X. If necessary contact our Service Department for more
information.

Chain elongation / measured over three track pads (4 pins)
This wear check has to be carried out in 4 equally distributed areas of the track chain
(L1 to L4 - l.h. and R1 to R4 - r.h.).
Turn superstructure 90 to the travel direction.
Retract attachment and lower bucket on the ground until the chain has no longer
contact with the ground.
Block the machine against inadvertent lowering with suitable
devices.

Turn sprocket until the first measuring area (L1) is located at the deepest point of sag T).

To measure the areas L2 - L4 turn the chain always forward


until point T is reached.

To obtain a comparable measuring result, stop the main drive motor/engine of short
duration, so that the track tensioning system is released to pilot pressure.
Place the points of the dividers into the centre bores of pins 1 and 4 of the measuring
area L1 / R1, determine the distance and record in the table on page 10.
Repeat measuring procedure at measuring areas L2 / R2 to L4 / R4.

Circular pitch (Sprocket / Track pad)

For this inspection, the excavator has to be placed on an even surface and only one chain
has to be moved, like turning.
Diesel engine:
Electric motor:

Operate at low idle.


Operate joy-stick slightly.

Move l.h. track group forward (Sprocket rotation F = forward), until the contact area of
the sprocket tooth (0) and the track-pad lug (0) is in the uppermost position without
loosing contact, (Refer to illustration 6 A, page 6 as example).
Measure gaps (X1). Measure inside and outside of the sprocket between the sprocket
teeth (7) and track-pad lug (7) at 3 points, equally distributed on the chain.

Sprocket tooth (7) has to be used irrespective of the numbers


of teeth of the sprocket (possible 14 or 15 teeth).

Record the values into table -circular pitch A- on page 10.


Repeat the measurements on the r.h. track group.
Move l.h. track group back (Sprocket rotation R = backwards), until the contact area of
the sprocket tooth (0) and the track-pad lug (0) is in the lowest position,
(Refer to illustration 6 B, page 6 as example).
Measure gaps (X2). Measure inside and outside of the sprocket between the sprocket
teeth (7) and track-pad lug (7) at 3 points, equally distributed on the chain.
Record the values to the table -circular pitch B- on page 10.
Repeat the measurements at the r.h. track group.

5.

Wear of track pads (Roller contact surface)

Stop the engine/motor and secure the machine against unintentional movement.
Mark 3 track pads of each track group (l.h. track group and r.h. track group) to make
repeated measurements in the future comparable.
Take a ruler to measure the wear of the roller contact surface. The ruler needs an even
contact surface, if not exist, prepare the track pad as necessary.
(Refer to illustration 6 C, page 6).
Record the measuring results in the form sheet on page 10.

Wear Caps
4.1
Lock style wear caps (PC4000)
4.1.1 Removal

Clean debris from the gaps around the wearcap lock.


Do not strike corners or edges with hammer!
Rotate Lock : Use a drift and a 2-4 kg/4-8 lb hammer to rotate the lock to the unlocked
position.

It may be necessary to partially rotate the lock in both directions to break loose soil
fines, before fully rotating it.

Lock must be rotated completely (180 degrees) to release the


wearcap.
Lock can rotate either way.

AH03510

Page 12 of 18

Remove Wearcap:
Slide wearcap out of adapter slots. Use appropriate lifting devices to support and remove
wearcap. It may be necessary to place a pry bar between the adapter and the rear inside
face of the wearcap to lift and free it from soil fines.

4.1.2 Installation

Wearcap tabs, adapter tab slots, and lock recesses must be


thoroughly cleaned. Inspect all components for damage.
Replace any damaged parts.

Position Wearcap Lock


First place the lock flat side down against the inside of the wearcap, adjacent to the
lock opening. Slide it toward the wearcap lug. One of the lock shafts will enter the hole
in the lug. Push the lock up tight against the lug. Then, using a drift placed in one of
the lock pockets, tap the drift with a hammer to cause the lock to rotate halfway
around, until the flat side of the lock is facing you and is lined up with the inside face of
the wearcap.

Wearcap Installation
Place the wearcap on the adapter. The tabs on the inside of the wearcap fit into the
tab slots in the adapter.

Lock Wearcap
Use an suitable tool and hammer to rotate the lock to the locked position. If lock resists
rotation, this indicates more cleaning of the adapter slots is required. When flat is
facing out, the lock is in a locked position.

4.2.1 Removal

Drive out the point pin and remove the point.


Slide the worn wearcap off the adapter.

If soil packs tightly between the wearcap and the adapter, it


may be necessary to strike the flat sides of the wearcap several
times with a hammer, to loosen it for removal.
Do not strike corners or edges with hammer!

4.2.2 Installation

Inspect all components for damage. Replace any damaged parts.


Slide wearcaps onto the adapter top and bottom surfaces, so that the wearcap rear

The Shrouds
Removal the shrouds

The Toplok shroud system is engineered to make change-out easy. Before following these
simple steps shown to the Figures, its important to clean fines from pin area by tapping
the shroud to loosen them, then scraping them using a chisel or needle gun (if fines are
heavily packed).

Use a small bar with flat end (19 mm wide maximum) to retract the latch and lift the
pin out.
Pins can be reused if not worn below the locator flange and the insert latch rubber is
fully bonded to the steel tip and fully seated in the pin body.

Place a pry bar or pinch bar behind the


latch as shown, as a lever to compress it.

Lift out and remove the lock. Slide the


shroud off the lip base.

In severe applications assist removal by inserting a pry bar


under the lock from the rear of the shroud and lifting up the
latch end of the pin while prying as shown.

AH03510

Page 15 of 18

5.2
Installing the shroud
5.2.1 Prepare the surface
In order to provide sufficient support for the boss as well as its pin, the mounting surface
must:
Be relatively smooth and free of debris, weld spatter, and other irregularities.
Have a profile that produces a gap no greater than 3 mm or 1/16" at the boss weld.
Any gap greater than 3 mm or 1/16" must be shimmed.
Checking the Fit Pad Areas

The fit pad surface (1) & (2) should be perpendicular to each other.
Make sure 70% of the fit pad surfaces (1) & (2) are in contact with the gauge.
After achieving this, the fit pad surface (3) should be checked.
Use a straight edge to help check the surface consistency.

5.2.2 Position the bosses


Checking the Boss Position
To insure the boss is located correctly, the gap between the gauge and the boss rails
should not exceed 1mm/.04in. If the gap exceeds 1mm/.04in.,the boss has to be removed
and a new boss installed (see below).
The back of the boss should line up with the back of the gauge rail.
If the boss does not line up with the back of the gauge rail, then two repair options are
possible:
(A) If the gap does not exceed 1.5mm/.06in., build up the back of the boss; or
(B) Weld build the leading edge fit pad (2). This may result in the ramp fit pad (3) also
requiring weld build up.

Weld Rebuilding Fit Pads


When weld rebuilding fit pads ensure the weld surface is clean and free of any
contamination that might prevent a good weld. Follow the preheat, interpass and post heat
guidelines below.
Summary of Welding Specifications
Electrodes: E7016 or E7018 low hydrogen (keep dry!)
Wires: E70T-5, E71T-1, or E70T-1 with CO 2 gas.
Preheat: 200F/95C (350-400F/175-205C if air temperature is 40F/5C or lower.)
Interpass: Maintain interpass temperature less than 500F/260C.
Postheat: If air temperature is 40F or lower, postheat 350-400F, then let air cool.
Remove slag after each pass and peen each bead.
New Boss installation
Set the boss onto the gauge rails and locate the back of the boss with the back of the
gauge rails. If no gauge is available, use a new shroud to locate the boss.
Move the gauge onto the lip, making sure the gauge is centered between the nose
bases and the gauge is in contact with fit pad surfaces (1) & (2).
Practice has shown, that the boss will suck down 1/16" during welding. To equalize this
use a 1/16" shim under the boss, even if there is no gap between the fit pad (1) and the
boss. This will ensure the boss height is correct after welding.
If there is a gap between the fit pad surface (1) and the boss, use a thicker shim
accordingly.

APPLICATION:

all types

FAILURE CODE:

3047AA

DESCRIPTION:
Leaky dual cone seal rings must be replaced, in order to prevent damages through "dry
running".
Dual cone seals have also to be replaced in case of component repairs.
Dual cone seals are precision parts made from chilled cast iron. Therefore, sharp knocks
and blows should be avoided.
The correct way to install dual cone seals is as follows:
Only remove the seal (1) from its original
wrapping just before installing. This
protects the super - finished seal faces (2)
from damage and contamination.
Seal housing (3) must be free of dirt and
machining residues; all edges in the
housing bore must be rounded.
The illustration shows the preloaded seal (1).
Install the face seal by means of the
assembly tool (4). Pressure is applied
directly via the O-ring (5).
For easier assembly, moisten the housing
bore and O-rings with spirit (no oil or grease!).
Order number for assembly tool (4), refer
to the table on page 2.
For the machining dimensions of the
assembly tool, refer to the illustration and
Fig. on page 3.
The illustration shows the dual cone seal
(1) before mounting it with tool (4) into
housing (3).

AH05511

Page 2 of 4
Press the seal ring (1) with the special tool
like a push button into the housing (3).
Take care that afterwards the housing
surface (6) lies parallel to the seal face (2).
The O-ring (1) must not sit wave-like in
the housing bore or bulge partially
looped out of the bore.
C = correct
W = wrong

Before the seal rings (1) are clamped to


the installation dimensions, apply a
thin grease or oil film to the seal faces

SUBJECT:

Swing circle pinion

PURPOSE:

Wear check every 5000 Operating hours

APPLICATION:

PC3000; PC4000; PC5500; PC8000

FAILURE CODE:

2518CA

DESCRIPTION:
All swing pinions are surface hardened to ensure a long service life.
If the depth of the wear reaches the hardening depth, the wear of the pinion will be rapid.
The increased tooth back-lash and the different tooth meshing, could decrease the service
life of the slew ring and the swing gear box(es).
By means of regular wear check , every 5000 operating hours, the depth of the wear
should be compared to the original shape.

Automatic lubrication system - Vent valve (PN 769 879 73)

PURPOSE:

Hints for trouble shooting

APPLICATION:

FAILURE CODE:

8D00ME

DESCRIPTION:

Manual actuation
(Vent valve: PN 769 879 73)

FUNCTION:
The solenoid gets energized when the lubrication starts.
The connection from A to B gets closed, thus a pressure build-up is possible.
The solenoid gets de-energized, as soon as the lubrication cycle is finished.
This causes opening of the connection A to B, thus the supply line to the
lubricant barrel is open. The lubricant flows from A to B.
TASK (Refer to illustration next page):
By the function of the vent valve (7) the lubricant supply line gets pressure released,
after the lubrication cycle is finished. The injector pistons can move into their initial
position.

AH05546

Page 2 of 2

Troubleshooting:
The solenoid valve (7) sometimes is blocked by dirt and causing that the pumping
pressure will be not built correctly due to bypassed pressure back to grease barrel. On the
monitor in the operators cab any failure in lubrication system will be indicated.

Manual actuation

To make easy troubleshooting the 2/2 Directional valve (7)


is equipped with the possibility of manual actuation.
The valve had a push button on the top to verify whether the
electric problem or the vent valve itself causing the lubrication
pressure bypassed.
For manual actuating of the valve (7) push down the pin on
top of the valve e.g. with a screwdriver.

Hints for bleeding

APPLICATION:

All types

FAILURE CODE:

H100BJ

DESCRIPTION:
To avoid damages to the hydraulic system caused by air in the cylinders, a bleeding
procedure has to be carried out after each opening or cylinder exchange.
Read the safety instruction in the Operation and Maintenance
Manual carefully, before starting any work on the excavator.

1. Standard procedure for bleeding of hydraulic cylinder


1. Run the engine at low idle.
PC5500 and PC8000: Start for the bleeding procedure only one engine.
Electric driven excavators: Set the service switch S155 (X2 main
board) to position 2 for QMIN control of the main pumps.
2. Extend and retract each cylinder 4 or 5 times without going to the end of
its stroke (stop approx. 100 mm before the end of the stroke).
At first there can be a large amount of air inside the cylinders, so the
cylinder may not move for the first ten seconds. In such cases, do not
operate the joy stick to the end of its travel. Be carefully!
3. Keep the engine running at low idle/or QMIN* and operate each cylinder
from a point 100 mm from the end of its stroke slowly (take at least 10
seconds) to the end of its stroke (fully extended) and hold the work
equipment joy stick at the full stroke position for 3 minutes.

AH06524

Page 2 of 2
4. Next run the engine at high idle/or QMAX* and operate each cylinder
from a point 100 mm from the end of its stroke slowly (take at least 10
seconds) to the end of its stroke (fully extended) and hold the work
equipment joy stick at the full stroke position for 1 minutes.
5. Repeat steps 2 4 if necessary.
6. Make sure that the switch S155 is set to the 0 position as soon as the
bleeding procedure of the hydraulic cylinders is finished.*
* Electric driven excavator

After bleeding the cylinders check oil level in the hydraulic tank
according to the Maintenance Manual and add oil if necessary.

2. Purpose of the pressure increasing valve


The two system pressures

35 bar with engine stopped


310 bar with engine running
are controlled by the pressure increasing valve as follows.
With stopped motor and switched off ignition there is no pilot pressure at
pressure increasing valve (141) and only the lowest adjusted pressure of 35 bar
remains in the system.
As soon as the motor has been started, the pilot pressure acts on the pressureincreasing valve. As a result, the system pressure can rise to the adjusted
pressure of 310 bar.

3. Function of the Pressure increasing valve


The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the
P port.
If static pressure increases above the set pressure value, the valve poppet
(2) opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a
pressure drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of
the spring (6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump
flow to flow to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 60 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the
amount of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased
correspondingly.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw ~ 150 bar.

Move the pressure gauge from M11.1 to M29.4


For the adjustment, two pressure check unions have to be modified as
follows and exchanged against the pressure checkpoints M11.1 and
M29.2.
- Remove cap.
- Drill, until the ball and spring are removable.

7.

Connect pressure checkpoint M11.1 with pressure checkpoint M29.2,


using a long pressure gauge hose (required for the oil supply).
8. Disconnect the pilot pressure line at port X of the pressure-increasing
valve (141) and close the hose with a plug (P).
9. Loosen lock nut (4) of the pressure-increasing valve and screw in set
sleeve (5) until piston (1) comes to stop (substitution of 35bar pilot
pressure).
10. Start the motors.
11. Stall the hydraulic with the clam opening function (clam cylinders
completely retracted) and observe pressure at checkpoint M29.4.
A pressure of 310 + 5 bar has to be reached within a time of
10 15 minutes and must remain at this value.

The maximum pressure will be shown only after the


accumulators are completely filled with oil.

When the pressure reaches the pre-charge gas pressure


(31 bar and 150 bar), the gauge pointer moves slower
depending on the gas compression.

If the gauge shows a lower or higher value, the pressure-increasing


valve must be adjusted.

1. Introduction
Weld repairs can cause severe damage to an entire structure if performed incorrectly.
Therefore we recommend consulting your Komatsu Service Organization in order to
avoid improper welding procedures. If cracks are found in the steel construction of your
excavator, please inform our service department as soon as possible. Attach suitable
information material (photos, catalogue drawings etc.) showing the location and nature
of the crack.
2. General Protective Measures
Welding operations can cause damage to electronic components (Computers, Control
Units, Sensors etc.) in case the welding current goes through these units. Therefore
protective measures are necessary before any weld repair is started.
1. Observe the prevailing safety and fire prevention regulations. Get advice from
authorized Electricians for all medium and high voltage systems related
questions.
2. Before any weld repair is started, a survey should be made of the area and all
safety considerations satisfied such as fuel tanks, hydraulic oil reservoirs, oil
lines, electrical cables and synthetic materials.
3. Remove the battery main switch keys and switch off all circuit breakers, refer to
the Operation Manual of the Excavator for more information.
4. Attach the welding ground directly to the part that is being repaired. Do not allow
welding current to go through bearings. Welding current could arc the bearings,
resulting in severe damage to the bearing.
3. Steps of the weld repair procedure
1. Clean the damaged part or area to be repaired.
2. Inspect the worn or fractured area by visual inspection and/or non-destructive
testing.
3. Determine the type of material to be repaired.
4. Determine the welding electrode or the welding wire and process to be used.
5. Preheat before welding.
6. Weld by using appropriate welding techniques.
7. Post heat.
8. Make a survey of the repair welding.

5. Preparation of the defective Part


Clean the fractured area or worn part of all oil, grease, paint, moisture, dirt, rust,
spalled material or any other materials, which may be detrimental to a weld.
Inspect the fractured areas carefully by non-destructive testing such as
magnetic particle or dye penetrant inspection.
When removing cracks, a V groove should be made with a 30 to 45 angle.
Remove defective material up to the bottom of the crack.

Illustration 1
Use electrodes out of a freshly opened can or from an electrode holding oven. Dry
the electrodes according to the instructions of the electrode manufacturer.
Preheating of the part before preparing it for weld repair is essential to reduce the
thermal shock. The preheat temperature depends on the composition of the
material, see table 7 for the required temperature. Measure the temperature
beside the joint at a distance equal to the sheet metal thickness using suitable
temperature indicating devices.

6. Carrying out the Weld Repair

All weld repairs should be carried out by qualified and


experienced welders.
Provide the necessary equipment such as the correct clothing,
head gear, exhausts systems or respirators and if required
platforms for safe access to the repair area.
It is important to maintain the preheat temperature according to table 7
throughout the repair.
The interpass temperature should never exceed the maximum permissible
value shown in table 3. Measure the temperature beside the joint at a distance
equal to the sheet metal thickness using suitable temperature indicating
devices.
All cracks through the parent material will require a welding from both sides,
see illustration 1. The Service Bulletin No. 21-594 contains instructions for
making a Man Hole which is necessary for weld repairs from inside the boom
or stick.
When welding in a vertical position always weld using the vertical up technique.
Properly applied multiple pass welding is the required procedure, illustration 2.
Use a blunt-nosed chisel (C) to calk the weld beads (A and B) with the groove
wall before welding the space between the beads (A and B). Repeat the
calking of beads (A and B) at each weld layer.

Illustration 2

Once a repair has been started by preheating and welding, the part should be
worked on until completed.
A recommended technique for repair is to butter the groove with weld metal.
Buttering is the addition of one or more layers of weld metal to the face of the
joint or surfaces to be welded.

AH08507

Page 7 of 9

After the welding has been completed, check the repair for any undercuts,
overlaps or any other notch type discontinuity while the preheat is still up to
temperature. Make any repair necessary at this time.
After the repair cools, grind all butt-welded repairs smooth using 36 or finer grit
grinding material. All grinding marks should be parallel to the direction of
primary stress if possible. Make sure there is a smooth transition between the
weld metal and the parent plate.

7. Post heating

Maintain the preheat temperature according to table 7 for at least 15 minutes


after the weld repair is finished and then cool the repair area slowly, refer to
table 3 for maximum allowable temperature drop per hour.

8. Inspection of Repair

Inspect the completed weld after it has cooled to the ambient temperature by
non-destructive procedures as dye penetrant, or magnetic particle inspection
and ultrasonic inspection, if possible.
A final inspection of the weld repair should be made after 24 hours in order to
detect hydrogen induced cracks.
If surface defects are found, remove all defects by grinding to a maximum
depth of 1.5 mm. Larger defects have to be removed according to the repair
procedures described on the preceding pages. Grind welds so they blend in
with the parent material. All spot welding also require preheating and post
heating.
It is not recommended to weld on reinforcement plates as the
main stress will remain ~float~ through the steel structure
regardless how many additional plates would be applied to the
structure.

INTRODUCTION

HYTORC tools are uniquely multi-purpose. They can be used as accurate bolting
equipment on conventional nuts in open or confined spaces. They also can be used as
reaction arm free tensioning equipments, when used with HYTORC LoaDISC washer or
HYTORC-Clamp, Hydraulically Actuated Mechanical Tensioner.
SECTION I
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HYTORC tools are designed for the safety of operators. However, they are powerful tools and certain
safety precautions should be observed to avoid accidents or personal injury. The following tips will
assist you.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT
CONSIDER WORK AREA
ENVIRONMENT

Electric pumps should never be used in any atmosphere


which can be considered potentially volatile. If there is any
doubt, use an air pump.

Also note: Metal to metal contact can cause sparks. Precautions must be taken.
AVOID PREMATURE TOOL
STARTING

The pump remote control should be operated by a


designated operator and ensure ALL CLEAR prior to
starting and to avoid premature tool starting.

STAY CLEAR DURING OPERATION

In most cases, the tool will allow hands free operation. If


the tool must be reset on bolt during operation, make sure the
remote control operator is aware of turning the pump off.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HOLD THE TOOL DURING OPERATION!


GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC
SHOCK

Ensure the pump is properly grounded and the proper


voltage is used.

STORE EQUIPMENT PROPERLY

When not in use, tools and accessories should be properly


stored to avoid deterioration.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL


Do use tools or attachments suitable for the applications.
*refer to our recommended torque/load chart
PROPER SAFETY ATTIRE

When handling/operating hydraulic equipment, wear


work gloves, hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses and other
applicable clothing.

MOVING EQUIPMENT

Do not use hydraulic hoses, uniswivels, pump power or


remote cords as means of moving the equipment.

SECTION I
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -continued from the previous pageHOSES

Do not kink hoses. Inspect and replace if damaged.

SHROUDS AND COVER PLATES

All tools are equipped with shrouds and/or cover plates


to prevent contact with the moving internal parts. Do not
use tools without these safety covers. If the covers are
missing or damaged, replace immediately.

MAINTAIN TOOLS

For the best results, inspect tools, power packs, hoses,


connectors, electric lines and accessories for visual
damage before each usage. Always follow instructions
for proper tool and pump maintenance.

SAFETY ALERT

Do not use power equipment under the influence of any


mood altering substance.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

Ensure that all hydraulic connectors are securely


connected. Verify that the hydraulic hoses are not
kinked. Insure the square drive and its retainer are
fully and securely engaged.

PRIOR TO USE (if use with reaction arm)

Before placing your tool on the application, cycle it to


ensure proper function. If using the torque mode,
locate a solid and secure reacting point. Be sure the
reaction arm is retained firmly and positioned to face
the same direction as the square drive. Be sure the
hydraulic hoses are free of the reacting point. Pressurize
the system momentarily; if the tool tends to ride up or
to creep, stop and adjust the reaction arm to a solid
and secure position.

NOTE: Remain clear of the reaction arm during operation and never put body parts between
reaction arm and reaction surface.
ALWAYS USE QUALITY
ACCESSORIES

Use genuine HYTORC accessories. Use correct size


accessories and engage them fully. Stay clear of all moving
accessories during operation.

DO NOT USE FORCE

Do not apply any impact by using hard objects on bolting


equipment or accessories. This may cause malfunction or
breakage.

ALWAYS CONSULT

Please contact HYTORC for any questions related to our


equipment or your bolting needs. Safety is always the
number one priority.

SECTION II
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR NEW HYTORC
READ CAREFULLY: Most malfunctions, in new equipment, are the result of improper operation
and/or set-up.
PREPARATION: Remove HYTORC equipment from shipping container.
INSPECTION: Visually inspect all components for any damage during transportation. If damages
are found, notify HYTORC immediately.
2-1 Working Pressure
The tools maximum
working pressure is 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2, 690 Bar)
Make sure that all hydraulic equipment used is rated
for 10,000 PSI operating pressure. To set pump
pressure for XXI models to 10,000 PSI for both
advance & retract, locate selector valve underneath
the couplers. Turn the pump off and loosen the lock
nut. Turn the center screw counter-clockwise until
it stops. Tighten the lock-nut. For Avanti & Stealth
models, turn the center screw clockwise until it stops.
Tighten the lock-nut to set the pump pressure to 1,500
PSI for retract.
2-2 Hydraulic Connections With older style pumps, (SST-10, SST-20),
the retract side of the system may remain pressurized after the pump
has been switched off. This trapped pressure makes it impossible to
loosen the retract-side fittings by hand. To release the pressure, find
the 5/16 manual override holes in the end of the black solenoids on the
pump. With a welding rod, Allen-key or similar device, push in on the
ends of both solenoids, each in turn, and the residual pressure will be
released. All fittings will, then, be hand tightened again. Hoses and
couplers must be free and unobstructed before and during the operation
of the tool. External impact on the couplers may break off the fittings.
Current pump models are equipped with an auto-pressure relief. Never disconnect or connect any
hydraulic hoses or fittings without first unloading wrench and the pump. Double check the gauge
reading to assure pressure has been released.
When making connections with quick disconnect couplings, make sure the couplings are fully engaged.
Threaded connections such as fittings and gauges must be clean and securely tightened and leak free.
CAUTION: Loose or improper threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized. Severe
over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Never grab, touch or in any way come in contact
with a hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil can penetrate the skin and cause injury.

SECTION II
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR NEW HYTORC -continued from the previous
page2-3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Ensure proper power availability to prevent motor failure or
dangerous electrical overloading. Compare the motor nameplate for required amperage. Do not use
electric pump, if three prong electrical plug is not whole. Minimize the length of extension cords and be
sure they are of adequate wire size, with ground connectors. Extension cord up to 50 feet should be #10
AWG gauge.
CAUTION: Electric motors may spark. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence
of conductive liquids. Use an air pump instead.
2-4 AIR CONNECTIONS Ensure that you have sufficient air flow of 80 psi ( 50 cfm) to operate your
pneumatic pump. If in doubt, compare the pump manufacturers recommended air flow rating prior
to pressurizing pump. Improper air flow may damage the pump motor. For best results, use air hose
larger than 3/4 diameter.
Use of a filter regulator lubricator (FRL) is highly recommended. (diagram below)

SECTION III
OPERATION Torquing Conventional Nuts
3-1 General All HYTORC tools are supplied completely assembled and are ready to use. A
HYTORC Hydraulic Power Pack, for use with your HYTORC tools, is recommended to provide
the speed, pressure and portability that makes your HYTORC SYSTEM more efficient and accurate.
The SYSTEM accuracy of your HYTORC tool is +-3% based upon manufacturers specifications.
This accuracy maybe certified through calibration by HYTORC or any other qualified calibration
facility whose program is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.)
Using a calibrated gauge enhances the accuracy of your HYTORC SYSTEM.
3-2 Connecting the SYSTEM
The wrench head and power pack are connected by a
10,000 PSI operating pressure (40,000 PSI burst) twin line hose assembly. Each end of the hose have
one male and one female connector to assure proper interconnection between pump and wrench
head.
IMPORTANT:

To avoid tool malfunction, do not reverse connectors.

Connect the twin line hose to the uniswivel as shown below. Make sure male couplers are connected to
female couplers. During the operation, check the connection to ensure the couplers are not loose.
Insure the connectors are fully engaged and screwed snugly and completely together.

the reaction arm.
*ALWAYS USE A SAFETY HANDLE

SECTION III
OPERATION Torquing Conventional Nuts -continued from the previous page3-5 Setting Torque
Once the SYSTEM is fully connected and the proper power supply is available, it is time to adjust the
pump pressure to the level needed on your job. When tightening, use the manufacturers specifications
to determine the torque value ultimately required. Appendix I which is presented as a guideline for
comparison only gives typical torque values specified for the most commonly encountered fasteners.
Torque sequence varies from plant to plant and even within the same plant may vary depending on the
gasket material and other factors. Always abide by on-site-procedures.
Always refer to the pressure-torque conversion table that came with the tool.
3-6 Setting the Pressure on the Pump

T Handle

To set the pressure on the pump, follow this procedure.


1. Loosen the knurled locking ring below the T handle on the pumps
external pressure regulator. Then turn the T handle counterclockwise until it turns freely and easily.
2. Turn the pump ON. Using the pumps remote control pendant,
push down the advance switch (or button on air pump) and hold it.

Locking Ring

3. While holding the pump in the advance mode, slowly turn the T handle
clockwise and observe the pump pressure gauge rise.
NOTE: Always adjust the regulator pressure up never down.
4. Once the desired pressure is reached. Turn off the pump and LOCK IN the pressure by tightening
the knurled lock nut. Turn on the pump once more and pressurize to verify the pressure is maintained.
3-7 Applying the Avanti the Tightening Process
1. Once your target pressure is set, cycle the tool three or four times to full pressure. Cycling the tool
ensures that the system is operating properly and removes trapped air, if any.
2. Place the proper size driving unit on the square drive and secure properly.
3. Place the tool on the bolt, making sure that everything is fully engaged. Further ensure that the drive
retainer is engaged.
4. Make sure the reaction arm is firmly abutted against a stationary object.
5. When positioning the wrench, make sure that the hose connections are well clear of any obstructions.
6. After all the above are confirmed, apply momentary pressure to the SYSTEM to ensure proper tool
placement.

SECTION III
OPERATION Torquing Conventional Nuts -continued from the previous page3-7 Applying the Stealth the Tightening Process
1. Once the target pressure is set (refer to 3-6) Cycle the tool several times to full pressure to assure
proper operation.
2. Place the right side of the ratchet link directly over the nut. Ensuring the hex is fully engaged
and the reaction pad portion of the link abuts solidly against an adjacent nut or other stationary
object. (see 3-3 for proper tool placement)
3. Ensure hose connections are clear of any obstacles.
4. After all the above are confirmed, apply momentary pressure to the SYSTEM to assure the
reaction point is stable.
3-8 Operating the Avanti and Stealth SYSTEMS
1. By pushing down on the remote control button in the advance position, the rear of the tool will
be pushed back until the reaction surface will contact its reaction point.
2. Continue to hold down the advance button as the socket turns until you hear a CLICK which
will signify the hydraulic cylinder inside the tool is fully extended and will not turn the socket
further.
3. Continuing to hold down the remote control button will result in a rapid buildup of pressure to
the point of where the gauge reads what was preset prior to applying the wrench.
IMPORTANT:
The reading of full preset pressure after the cylinder is extended DOES NOT
INDICATE that this pressure (torque) is applied to the bolt. It only indicates that the cylinder is
fully extended and cannot turn the nut further until the tool automatically resets itself.
Releasing the remote control button will retract the cylinder. The tool will automatically reset
itself and the operator will hear a CLICK indicating he can again push the remote control
button and the socket will turn. Each time the cylinder is extended and retracted, it is called a
cycle. Successive cycles are made until the tool STALLS at the preset Torque/PSI with an
accuracy of +-3%. Repeatability is +-1%.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS ATTEMPT ONE FINAL CYCLE
TO INSURE THE STALL POINT HAS BEEN REACHED.
NEVER HOLD THE TOOL DURING OPERATION.
Use safety handle to set and
remove tools.
