Introduction Introduction Use of this Manual ‘This manual includes information for the normal opera- tion, maintenance, and servicing of the Series 90 family ‘of hydrostatic pumps and motors. ‘The manual also includes the description ofthe units and their individual components, troubleshooting informa- tion, adjustment instructions, and minor repair proce: dures. Unit warranty obligations should not be affected if maintenance, adjustment, and minor repairs are per- formed according to the procedures described in this manual Many service and adjustment activities can be performed without removing the unit from the vehicle or machine. However, adequate access to the unit must be available, {and the unit must be thoroughly cleaned before beginning maintenance, adjustment, or repair activities. Safety Precautions ‘Since dirt and contamination are the greatest enemies of any type of hydraulic equipment, cleanliness require: ments must be stricly adhered to, This is especially important when changing the system filter and during ‘adjustment and repair activities, For further information refer to Series 90 Technical Information. For information about fluid requirements refer to SAUER-SUNDSTRAND BLN 9887 or SDF (Id No. 697581). ‘A worldwide network of SAUER-SUNDSTRAND Autho- rized Service Centers is available should repairs be needed. Contact any SAUER-SUNDSTRAND Autho- rized Service Center for details. A list of all Service Centers can be found in bulletin BLN-2-400527, or in brochure SAW (Ident. No, 698266). Observe the following safety precautions when using and servicing hydrostatic products. Loss of Hydrostatic Braking Ability Fluid under High Pressure WARNING The loss of hydrostatic drive line power in any mode of operation (e.g., forward, reverse, or "neu- tral” mode) may cause the loss of hydrostatic braking capacity. A braking system, redundant to the hydrostatic transmission must, therefore, be provided which is adequate to stop and hold the ‘system should the condition develop. smmte WARNING Use caution when dealing with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot enough to burn. Serious infection or reactions can develop if proper medical treat- ‘ment is not administered immediately. Disable Work Function Flammable Cleaning Solvents WARNING Certain service procedures may require the ve- hicle/machine to be disabled (wheels raised off the ground, work function disconnected, etc.) while performing them in order to prevent injury to the technician and bystanders.
