OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
FLOW
Auxiliary circuit must have proper oil flow setting to
prevent attachment damage and insure proper
attachment operation.
This is typically accomplished by adjusting auxiliary
spool pilot shift pressure on the auxiliary spool pilot
valve.
If secondary pilot valve(s) are utilized on the circuit
they must be adjusted to attain the correct
operating flow also.
Consult specific attachment manufacturer for correct
oil flow specification.
EXCAVATOR SETTINGS
If Auxiliary circuit utilizes excavator components
(factory installed) during or to control attachment
operations, consult OEM documentation for proper
settings and operation for specific application.
These OEM components typically are excavator
monitor settings, excavator CPU programming,
and OEM supplied relief cartridges.
These OEM components typically control items
such as work mode, switch valves, and monitor
controlled pilot valves.

may be used:
OPERATION OF SYSTEM COMPONENTS Charge Accumulator to 1/2 of the expected working
line pressure.
-ACCUMULATOR- If used in the attachment return line, then set to half of
the expected return line pressure (15 - 40 psi).
If used in the attachment return line of a combination
(1-way/2way) kit, then during (1-way) operation mode,
verify that it is locked out with a hydraulic ball valve
(or other isolating valve) before the kit is used in
ACCUMULATOR
CHARGE PORT (2-way) operation mode.
Regular exposure of the Accumulator working pres-
sures more than twice the nitrogen charge will dam-
age the internal diaphram.
If the Accumulator is not isolated from an attachment
that it was not intended for, during (2-way) operation,
the attachment will exhibit diminished, unexpected,
and possibly unsafe acuation during operation.
CHARGING ACCUMULATOR
Remove cap from charge port on Accumulator.
Attach Nitrogen bottle and hose with an adapter that
is compatible with a Schrader valve.
WARNING
NOTICE
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
ALL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE FREE OF DIRT AND
ALWAYS FOLLOW MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES SHOULD BE SNUG
FOR CHARGING THE SPECIFIC TYPE AND MODEL
OF ACCUMULATOR Open valve on Nitrogen bottle.
Charge according to (OEM) specifications.
FAILURE TO CHARGE ACCUMULATOR MAY RESULT Close valve on Nitrogen tank after charging.
IN PERMANENT COMPONENT DAMAGE AND A Disconnect charge hose from charge adapter.
POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT COULD Remove charge adapter.

TS_O-rings 1 of 4 11-01-07
Typical Causes
• Abrasives in system fluids
• Excessive temperatures
• Inadequate system lubrication due to gland surface being too smooth
• Incorrect lubrication by system fluid
• Rough gland surfaces
Typical Solutions
• Eliminate contamination; add or change filters
• Finish gland surface appropriately
• Select internally lubricated O-rings to reduce friction
Abrasion is typically a factor in dynamic seal applications. • Select material with better resistance to abrasion
Look for a flat area on one side only where the seal • Select material with better system compatibility
touches the moving surface. • Select system fluid to provide adequate lubrication
Typical Causes
• Chemical incompatibility
Typical Solutions
• Select chemically-compatible material
Typical Causes
• Excessive squeeze from an over tight gland
• Excessive temperature as a result of system fluids, external environmental factors
or frictional heat build-up causing the O-ring to harden and lose elastic properties
• Improper gland design
• Incomplete curing (vulcanization) of material during production
• Introduction of an incompatible fluid
• Material has inherently poor compression set properties
• Volume swell due to system fluid
Typical Solutions
• Control frictional heat and/or control system operating temperature
Compression set is the single most common cause
• Inspect O-ring on shipment to match specified characteristics
of O-ring failure. Look for flat surfaces on both sides
• Use a material featuring low compression set characteristics
of the O-ring's cross section creating a flat-sided oval.
• Use a material that is compatible with actual conditions
Typical Causes
• Deposits from system process
• Seal degradation prior to assembly
• Inappropriate seal material
Typical Solutions
• Control seal manufacturing and packaging
• Select appropriate seal material
Typical Causes
• Chemical incompatibility
• Environmental incompatibility of material
• Excessive humidity
• The O-ring absorbs system fluids and swells
Typical Solutions
• Select a system-compatible material
Typical Causes
• Gas absorption
• Rapid system pressure drop traps gas in O-ring material micro-pores
Typical Solutions
• Increase decompression time
• Increase material hardness (+90 durometer)
• Reduce cross-section
• Select a decompression-compatible material (i.e. nitrile)
Typical Causes
• Degradation (swelling, softening, shrinking, cracking, etc.) caused by system fluid
• Excessive clearances/pressure
• Irregular clearance gaps caused by gland or seal eccentricity
• O-ring too large for groove
• Sharp edges on gland
• Too soft an elastomer
Typical Solutions
• Enhance rigidity of gland components
• Machine gland's sharp edges to an acceptable minimum radius (0.1 in)
Extrusion / nibbling is typical of O-rings installed in • Properly size O-rings
high-pressure systems. Look for chips taken out of • Reduce machining tolerances and decrease clearances
the edges of the O-ring, normally on the • Select harder material (90 derometer +), select system-compatible material
low-pressure (downstream) side of the gland. • Try different seal shape or use back-up rings
Typical Causes
• Evaporation of plasticizers caused by excessive temperatures
• Hardening caused by excessive temperatures
• Oxidative cracking caused by excessive temperatures
Typical Solutions
• Reduce operating temperatures
• Select high temperature material
• Select material with antioxidants
Typical Causes
• Carelessness
• Contaminated O-ring, gland or system components
• Insufficient lead-in chamfer or lubrication prior to assembly
• O-ring twisted or pinched at assembly

Installation damage usually causes short cuts, • Reduce edge sharpness; tape sharp threads and edges
notches, skinning, or peeling on the surface of • Select a system-compatible lubricant
the O-ring. • Specify an appropriate lead-in chamfer
• Use appropriate size and material
Typical Causes
• Eccentric component
• Flash or parting lines left on seal
• Improper sizing
• No compression
• Tolerance stack-up
Typical Solutions

• Maintain appropriate compression
In some cases of failure, there is no evidence of • Remove flash and parting lines
failure visible on the seal.
Typical Causes
• Improper or improperly cured elastomer
• High vacuum levels
• Low hardness/plasticized elastomer
Typical Solutions
• Avoid plasticized elastomers
• Ensure all seals are properly post-cured to minimize outgassing
Typical Causes
• Improper design—failure to account for thermal or chemical volume changes,
or excessive compression
Typical Solutions
• Gland design should take into account material responses to chemical and thermal
environments
Typical Causes
• Ozone degrades O-ring material
• Pollutants degrade O-ring material
Typical Solutions
• Select ozone resistant material
• Select chemically-compatible material
Typical Causes
• Chemical reactivity of plasma
• Heat due to electron bombardment
• Inadequate gland design
• Ion bombardment (sputtering)
• System-incompatible material
Typical Solutions
• Minimize seal exposure to plasma
• Re- design gland
The seal often exhibits discoloration, as well as • Select plasma-compatible material
powdered residue on the surface and possible
erosion of elastomer in the exposed areas.
Typical Causes
• Eccentricity of components
• Incorrect lubrication
• O-ring pinched or rolled in assembly
• Rough surface finishes
• Side load applications with too wide a clearance
• Slow stroke speed
• Too soft an O-ring material
Typical Solutions
• Look for out-of-round eccentric components
Spiral failure is common to hydraulic piston • Proper surface finishes
(long stroke) and rod seal applications. Look • Select harder O-ring material
for deep, angled (45˚) cuts on the seal's surface. • Select proper lubricant
• Try different seal shape
Typical Causes
• Elastomer thermal properties
• Excessive temperature excursions or cycling
Typical Solutions
• Selection of an elastomer with improved thermal stability
• Evaluation of the possibility of cooling sealing surfaces
