26 DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improper waste disposal can threaten the environment
and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used with
HITACHI equipment includes such items as oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not


use food or beverage containers that may mislead
someone into drinking from them.

Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or Fig. 1-26
into any water source.

Allowing air conditioning refrigerants to escape into the


air can damage the Earth's atmosphere. Government
regulations may require a certified air conditioning
service center to recover and recycle used air
conditioning refrigerants.

Inquire as to the proper way to recycle or dispose of


waste from your local environmental or recycling
center, or from your HITACHI dealer.

27 SERVICE THE AIR CONDITIONING


SYSTEM SAFELY
Refer to the outside of the freon container for proper
handling procedures when servicing the air
conditioning system.
Use a recovery and recycling system to avoid venting
freon into the atmosphere.
Never let the freon stream make contact with your skin.
Severe frost burns will result.

28 HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY


Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause
serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used
with your machine include such items as lubricants,
coolants, paint, and adhesives.

Fig. 1-27

29 HANDLE POWER WRENCHES
CORRECTLY
Misuse of power wrenches (part nos. 4289389 and
4298388) may lead to their breakage or personal injury.
Please use power wrenches correctly and in
accordance with this manual.

1 For your safety, do not enter into the turning circle


of the wrench. After tightening is complete, a
torque acting in the opposite direction will be
applied to the wrench. Therefore, do not suddenly
let go of the handle, but let it gently rotate back in
the opposite direction until the torque is zero.

Fig. 1-28

2 Excessive input torque may cause the output end


or reaction lever to break, causing the wrench to
fall from the machine. The wrench may also fall if it
slips off the reaction member. Secure the wrench
so that it cannot drop, especially when working on
vertical surfaces.

Fig. 1-29 Fig. 1-30

3 It is sometimes difficult to remove the power


wrench from a nut or bolt after tightening.This is
generally due to elastic deformation (elastic force)
between the wrench and bolt. Try changing the
clutch direction to L to make the wrench easier to
remove. Release the torque on the ratchet handle
gradually, since a force will be acting in the
opposite direction after changing over the clutch. If
it is not possible to change the clutch by hand, do Fig. 1-31

not attempt to use force (a hammer, etc.).

• Try turning the wrench handle slightly in the L


direction to make the clutch easier to change
over.

Fig. 1-32

30 COMMUNICATION
1 When slinging work is performed on heavy loads, a
predetermined hand signalling method should be
used for trouble-free communication.

2 In order to facilitate remote teamwork during


assembly, workers should wear headsets for
reliable communication.

For your safety, do not enter into the turning circle of the wrench. After
tightening is complete, a torque acting in the opposite direction will be
applied to the wrench. Therefore, do not suddenly let go of the handle,
but let it gently rotate back in the opposite direction until the torque is
zero.

3. Don't drop the wrench.


Excessive input torque may cause the output end or reaction
lever to break, causing the wrench to become removed from
the component. The wrench may also become removed if it
slips off the reaction member. Secure the wrench so that it
cannot fall, especially when working on vertical surfaces.

Fig. 1-45 Fig. 1-46

4. After tightening.
It is sometimes difficult to remove the power wrench from a nut or bolt
after tightening.This is generally due to elastic deformation (elastic
force) between the wrench and bolt. Try changing the clutch direction
to L to make the wrench easier to remove. Release the torque on the
ratchet handle gradually since a force will be acting in the opposite 1
direction after changeover of the clutch. If it is not possible to change
over the clutch by hand, do not attempt to use force (a hammer, etc.).

• Try turning the wrench handle slightly in the


L direction to make the clutch easier to change

manufacturer detailed on page 27.

3 CONNECTING HOSES
1 Be careful not to damage the joining surfaces of
the hydraulic components.
2 Make sure that no dust has adhered to the seat
faces of the hoses and adaptors.
3 When connecting hoses, do not twist them or their
service life will be shortened.
4 When connecting the hoses, avoid contact with
other parts.

CAUTION:
Hydraulic ports are sealed with plugs on shipment from
the factory. On removal of these plugs, hydraulic oil will
escape due to the internal hydraulic pressure built up
through transportation, etc.

5 TIGHTENING LARGE-DIAMETER BOLTS
DURING ASSEMBLY.
1 It is vital that large-diameter bolts be tightened to
the specified tightening torque during assembly.
If torque specifications are not followed, the
operation of the machine will be affected, with
machine failure, lowering of functionality and
shortening of machine life potentially resulting. Be
careful, therefore, to note the correct tightening
torque at each stage of assembly.
This manual describes use of a power wrench to Fig. 1-56
achieve the required torque, but a hydraulic
wrench will allow for even more accurate and
efficient tightening work.

2 Be sure to tighten each bolt to the specified torque


using a torque wrench, power wrench, or hydraulic
wrench.
Torque wrench
1) After tightening a bolt to the specified torque,
mark the alignment of the bolt head, spacer Fig. 1-57

and bolted part. (See Fig. 1-56.)


2) Use only genuine Hitachi bolts.

CAUTION:
i) If a bolt is too long, you will not be able to fully
tighten it.
ii) If a bolt is too short, you will not be able to be
tighten it sufficiently to secure the parts, possibly
Pin
resulting in a serious accident.

6 NOTES ON INSERTING PINS WHEN
AFFIXING THE FRONT-END ATTACHMENT.
1 When attaching the front-end attachment,
thoroughly clean away the anticorrosive applied to
the pins and pin holes before inserting the pins,
then regrease them and spray them with Moly Pin

coat.
2 Be sure to check the alignment of pin holes when
joining parts. Do not use unreasonable force to
insert pins, and attempt to insert all pins manually.
If this is insufficient, use a medium-sized hammer
to ease the pin in place.
The use of forklift prongs to force in pins is
Fig. 1-59
absolutely forbidden. Any other unreasonable force
can lead to a pin being misformed and rendered
unusable, and should be avoided.
(Fig. 1-59)

7 APPLYING SEALING TAPE.


Wrap sealing tape around the bolt in the opposite
direction to the thread direction.
Do not cover the first two threads, as indicated in Fig.
1-60. Fig. 1-60

11 CAUTIONARY REMARKS FOR ASSEMBLY
1 Machine warning during non-installation of urea-related parts (tampering)

There are some problems that can occur when urea-related parts are not installed. For example, the monitor can
display the urea SCR system failure icon, restricting engine output and rotation. This can happen when the NOx
sensor controller and SCR exhaust air temperature sensor controller of the urea SCR muffler unit are not
connected to a harness or else, when the machine is left in the key-ON state for a certain time without connecting
the urea hose to the dodging module. The real engine rotation will not be as explained in the engine control dial
instructions, but this is not a failure. Connect the above parts. The engine output and rotation restriction will be
released after about twenty minutes in the key-ON state. If the connection of the parts does not release the engine
output and rotation restriction, inquire with the closest Hitachi dealer.

2 Display of the post-treatment device regeneration request (cleaning mode)

If the machine is operated at low idle for a long time, the monitor might display a request for post-treatment device
regeneration. If that happens, immediately implement the cleaning mode. For more information, refer to the
operation manual.

6-7 Vacuuming (air purge work) & charging of refrigerant

If the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the cooling capacity


will decrease.
Please inject the default amount of refrigerant quantity.

CAUTION:
DO NOT allow liquid refrigerant to contact eye or skin.
Liquid refrigerant will freeze eye or skin on contact be
careful not to loosen connections in the air conditioning
circuit.

IMPORTANT:
When filling the air conditioner with refrigerant, set the
key switch, located on the right control box in the cab,
to the ACC position turn on the main air conditioner
A/C switch on the right control box turn on the auxiliary
cooler fan switch and perform vacuuming of the circuit
through both the SUC and DEC ports of the
compressor.
Engine is ON as described in operation manual.
But do not get the engine started up.

99
Necessity of Vacuuming (Air Purge)

The following damage will be generated if the air or


other gases remain in the refrigeration cycle, so
discharge the air completely from the refrigeration
cycle, and then charge the refrigerant (R-12 or R134a).

(1) High Pressure Rise


Air
If the air remains in the refrigeration cycle, the heat
exchange between the refrigerant and the cooled
air in the condenser will be very poor, and will
cause pressure rise on the high pressure side.
Since the liquified temperature of the air is very low,
even if the gas refrigerant is liquified, it will not be
liquefied, keeping gas phase in the condenser.
In other words, the effective heating area to liquify
the gas refrigerant in the condenser will become
smaller which corresponds to the volume of the
remaining air, and cause pressure rise on the high
If air remains in the refrigeration cycle,
pressure side. it will cause high pressure rise.

Fig. 1

(2) Metallic Corrosion


If the air remains in the refrigerant cycle, it will
cause chemical reaction between the moisture in
the air and the refrigerant, and generate
hydrochloric acid, which will corrode the metals
used in the cooler such as aluminum, copper, and
iron. Therefore, it is necessary to completely extract
the moisture from the refrigeration cycle.

If there is moisture, Hydrochloric acid


hydrochloric acid
will corrode metals. Corrode metal

Fig. 2

(3) Moisture Clogged in Expansion Valve


If there is moisture in the refrigeration cycle, the
high-pressure refrigerant will be throttled by the
expansion valve, and when the refrigerant pressure
drops, the moisture contained in the refrigerant will
freeze at the orifice of the expansion valve and clog
up the refrigerant flow. For this reason, the
refrigeration cycle becomes unstable, and will Frozen
reduce the cooling capacity substantially.

MAINTENANCE OF MACHINES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR CONDITIONER


CHARGED WITH 134a REFRIGERANT

OUTLINE

In order to prevent an atmospheric ozone layer from being harmed, we have completely shifted our production
from air conditioners using R12 refrigerant gas to those using R134a refrigerant gas. This procedures describes
how to handle the new refrigerant, R134a. A new compressor oil is also specified for each model, and care
should be directed to the compressor oil.

Compressor oil
The new R134a refrigerant gas is incompatible with the R12 conventional refrigerant gas. Compressor oil
dedicated to each model is specified on the next page.

Shipping
As production has been shifted to the new air conditioners, EX1200-7B machines will be shipped with
refrigerant gas charged at the factory. Thus, charging of refrigerant gas for delivery is no longer required.

Refer. to the following page for servicing precautions, etc.

PRECAUTIONS

The new R134a refrigerant gas is incompatible with conventional R12 refrigerant gas.
A new compressor oil is specified for each model.

1 CHARGING REFRIGERANT GAS (R134a) AND PREPARATION
For EX1200-7B machine, both refrigerant gas and the oil compressor are charged in the air conditioners before
shipment. Thus, recharging them is not required during delivery.
The explanations given below deal with spontaneous refrigerant gas leaks caused by long-term storage at the place of
shipment, and how to perform service after operation. (The new gas is charged in the same way as conventional R12
refrigerant gases. However, the service tools, charging pressures, etc., differ for each gas.)

1.1 When refrigerant gas has been completely released


If the refrigerant gas has been completely released from a burst in the refrigerant hose, perform the following procedure:

1 Supplying compressor oil


Check for compressor oil leakage (from the hose cap, damaged hose, etc.) and supply oil as required. (Make sure to
use the specified oil.)
Oil should be added into the compressor from the suction port by disconnecting the refrigerant hose from the
compressor suction side (on which "S" is stamped).

2 If a damaged hose has to be replaced, spray compressor oil on the O-ring at the hose cap to prevent it from being
damaged.

3 Replace the condenser (P/No. YA00003889 ) because the desiccating agent inside will have degraded.

4 Perform evacuation.

Note:
The compressor shown in the connection diagram for the charging hose and service valves is different from the used
one on the actual machine connection. See next page for photos of the actual connection.

Evacuation
Why evacuation is required
The greatest attention should be paid to the presence of water in the unit when handling the air conditioner. Since
R134a refrigerant for air conditioners is insoluble in water, even a little water remaining in the unit may freeze in the
expansion valve during operation or cause the compressor valve to rust. Thus, it is required that any residual water in
the unit be removed as much as possible before charging refrigerant. The only way to minimize the water in the unit is to
boil it by evacuation and remove it in gas phase. A vacuum pump can be used to drain the water in the unit in a
relatively short time, by maintaining a vacuum.

EVACUATION PROCEDURE

1 Gauge manifold connection


1 Close the high-pressure valve (HI) and low-
pressure valve (LO) on the gauge manifold.
2 Connect the charging hoses (red, blue) to the
compressor service valve.
red hose.......... to the high pressure side
(marked D)
blue hose........ to the low pressure side
(marked S)

[NOTE]
The L-shaped end of the charging hose should be
connected to the compressor service valve.
Be careful when doing this because a reversed hose
connection will cause the compressor worm valve to
not open. Fig. 6
Also, take care not to confuse the high and low
pressure sides. Gauge manifold connection

3 Connect the charging hose (green) at the center


of the gauge manifold to the vacuum pump.

2 Evacuation
1 Open the high pressure valve (HI) and low
pressure valve (LO) on the gauge manifold.
2 Turn the vacuum pump switch on and perform
evacuation for about 10 minutes.
3 When the negative pressure scale on the low-
pressure gauge registers 755 mmHg or greater
(= speed at which a vacuum can be obtained),
turn the switch off and close the high pressure
valve and low pressure valve on the gauge
manifold.

Fig. 7

105
3 Airtightness check
1 Close the high and low pressure valves on the
gauge manifold and let stand for more than 5
minutes, then verify that the gauge pointer does
not indicate zero.
2 If the gauge pointer moves toward zero, air is
probably leaking from some location. Tighten the
pipe connections and evacuate again to check for
leaks.

4 Checking for gas leaks


1 Reconnect the charging hose (green), connected
to the vacuum pump, to the service can.
2 Open the service can valve with the charging hose
Fig. 8
(green) gauge manifold nut loosened, and purge
the charging hose with refrigerant pressure Air purge from the charging hose
(retighten the hose when the refrigerant comes
out with a hiss).

3 Open the gauge manifold high pressure valve and


charge refrigerant until the low-pressure gauge
reads 1 kg/cm2. After completing the charge, close
the high pressure valve.
4 Use the leak detector to carefully check for gas
leaks in the cycle.
5 Correct any leaking areas by tightening
connections.

Note:
Gas leaks should be checked only after verifying
that there are no fuel leaks or inflammables present,
to prevent any explosion or fire.
If refrigerant touches an open fire, poisonous gas
(phosgene) will be produced.

Fig. 9

Charging refrigerant used to check for gas leaks

106
5 Charging refrigerant gas.
Charge refrigerant gas from the high pressure side service valve first (Note: Make sure to stop the engine during
this work), then charge from the low pressure side service valve (Note: Do this while rotating the engine and
operating the air conditioner).

The high pressure side service valves are located on the compressor on the receiver tank
for EX1200-7B machine. You can find the valve by removing the cap embossed with an H.

The low pressure service valves for EX1200-7B machine are located on the compressor.
You can find the valve by removing the cap embossed with an L.

Note:
The connection diagram compressor shown for the charging hose and service valve is different from the actual
one used. Refer to the instructions given on page 104.

CHARGING REFRIGERANT
After completing the gas leak check, charge refrigerant gas for the freezing cycle according to the following procedure:

1 Charging from the high pressure side


1
Stop the engine, open the gauge manifold high
pressure valve and service can valve, then charge
refrigerant using approximately 2 service cans
(about 600 g).
EX1200-7B....... approx. 1 000 ~ 1 200 g

CAUTION:
1) Never operate the compressor when charging.
Operating the compressor during this work is very
dangerous, since it causes the refrigerant to flow in
reverse, bursting the service can or hose.
2) Never operate the compressor without charging
refrigerant. This can cause seizing.
3) Do not open the gauge manifold low pressure
valve (this can result in liquid compression).

2 Close the gauge manifold high pressure valve and


service can valve.
Fig. 10

Charging refrigerant (engine stopped)

107
2 Charging from the low pressure side
(additional charging)
1 Verify that the gauge manifold high pressure valve
is closed.
2 Start the engine and open all vehicle doors.
Turn the air conditioner switch on.
3 Set the temperature control lever to "Coldest" and
the blower switch to "HI".
4 Set the engine to run at low idle.
5 Open the gauge manifold low pressure valve and
service can valve, then charge refrigerant until air
bubbles disappear from the receiver sight glass.
6 After charging the refrigerant, close the gauge
manifold low pressure valve and service can
valve, then stop the engine.
7 Carefully check for gas leaks with the gas leak
Fig. 11
detector.
Charging refrigerant (engine driven)

<REFERENCE> Gauge manifold readings


High pressure side................ 14 ~ 16 kg/cm2
(at an ambient
temperature of 30°C)
Low pressure side................ 1.5 ~ 2.5 kg/cm2
(at an ambient
temperature of 30°C)

CAUTION:
1) Never open the gauge manifold high pressure valve (HI). Opening the valve is very dangerous, since it
causes the high pressure gas to flow in reverse, bursting the service can or charging hose (the operator may
be seriously injured).
2) Never turn the service can upside down when charging refrigerant while the engine is running. This causes
the liquid refrigerant to be absorbed into the compressor, resulting in liquid compression. As a result, then the
compressor valve or packing may be broken.
Set the service can upright and charge refrigerant in the gas phase.

At low ambient temperature.


When the ambient temperature is too low to successfully complete charging, put the service can in water
warmed up to 40°C until the refrigerant pressure in the service can increases.

Notes:
Never heat the service can with boiling water or a direct flame.
This can cause it to burst. Always use warm water at 40°C or less.

108
SERVICE-CAN REPLACEMENT

When the service can becomes empty during charging,


replace it with a new one according to the following
procedure:
1 Close the high pressure valve and low pressure
valve on the gauge manifold.
2 Raise the service can valve needle and disc.
3 Install the service can valve on the new service
can.
4 Purge the air from the charging hose as follows:

1) Tighten the service-can valve once, then


loosen it slightly.
2) Slightly open the gauge manifold low pressure
valve.
3) When the refrigerant comes out from the
clearance between the service can and
service-can valve with a hiss, immediately
close the service can valve and gauge manifold Fig. 12
low pressure valve.
Air in the charging hose

Removing the gauge manifold


After complete charging, disconnect the charging hose
from the compressor as follows:
1 Press the L-shaped metal connector on the low
pressure side charging hose (blue) to the
compressor service valve so that the refrigerant
does not leak, then immediately disconnect the
charging hose from the service valve.
2 Immediately after the flare nut is removed,
disconnect the charging hose from the service
valve.
3 Let the hose stand until the high pressure gauge
shows as low a value as possible (10 kg/cm2 or
less).
4 Disconnect the high pressure side charging hose
(red) using the same method as for the low
pressure side.
5 Screw the service can valve handle into the can to Fig. 13
open a hole and continue charging.
Removing the charging hoses

Notes:
1) This work should be done as swiftly as possible to minimize refrigerant leaks. In particular, prompt
replacement is required for the high pressure side after the gauge reads a sufficiently low value, since the
compressor oil as well as refrigerant can rush out (always use a waste cloth).
2) Special care should be taken so that no refrigerant touches the skin or enters the eyes (use safety goggles).

109
Quantity of refrigerant to be charged

When refrigerant is completely released


EX1200-7B .......... 1 250 g (Use five refrigerant gas cans, P/No. 4454005 (250 g) × 5 pcs.

110
1.2 If the quantity of refrigerant gas is insufficient
If the air conditioner does not work properly because of the quantity of refrigerant gas is insufficient, add refrigerant gas
according to the following procedure:

1 Use the tester (leak detector) to check for refrigerant gas leaks.
If any leakage is found at a cap, tighten it. If parts at the leaking location have to be replaced, perform maintenance
according to procedure 1-1.

When a large quantity of refrigerant gas leaks but the tester (leak detector) identifies the leaking portion with
difficulties, find out it while adding refrigerant gas (don't add refrigerant gas more than instructed ! For
quantity to be charged, see page 101.)

2 Charge refrigerant gas from the low pressure side charging port (while starting the engine and operating the air
conditioner). (See the instructions on pages 105 and 110)

1.4 Inspection After Charging Refrigerant

Perform the gas leak test of the refrigerant and the test
run after charging the specified refrigerant volume. Gas Leak Test

1 Gas Leak Test of Refrigerant


This test is performed with the halide torch type
leak detector, but if the electric type leak detector
is used, very small amount of leaks can be
detected. Perform the gas leak test according to
the following procedure:

(1) Conduct the test by selecting a well ventilated


Fig. 22
place wherever practicable, and thoroughly
clean the oil spills at the joints of the charge
hose which occurred at time of charging the
refrigerant.
(2) Especially check the joints of the tubing
carefully.
(3) If gas leaks are found, tighten the joints and
test again.
(4) Be careful not to put your face near the flame If gas leaks, tighten joints.
of the combustion gas of the refrigerant for
long periods because it is poisonous gas.

For the gas leak tester, use a special one for the
refrigerant.
Fig. 23

2 Test Run
Inspect each unit before test run.

(1) Operate the switch and inspect.


(2) Inspect the ON and OFF of the magnetic
clutch of the compressor.
(3) Inspect the compressor belt and the fan belt.
(4) Inspect the radiator cooling water.
(5) In addition, check to see if there is any articles
near the rotating unit and the exhaust
manifold.
After the inspection of each unit is completed to
confirm that there is no abnormality, operate the
cooler and inspect the performance.
The performance is measured by mounting the
Fig. 24
temperature gauge at the inlet port and the
discharge port of the cooler unit and measuring
the air temperature at the inlet and discharge
ports, and by mounting the manifold gauges at the
inlet/ outlet ports, and measuring the inlet and
outlet pressures.
The results are compared with the inspection
data, to judge whether good or bad.

116
(a) Test Conditions
Operate the cooler under the following test
conditions, and measure the pressure and
temperature after 5 ~ 10 minutes after the
discharge temperature has stabilized.
(1) Engine speed is set at 1 500 rpm.
(2) Air volume of the cooler is set at HI.
(3) Air is not blown from the front surface of
the condenser.
(4) Doors are closed and all the windows are
opened.
(5) Test is performed in the shade.
(6) Thermostat dial is set at "COOL" position.
(7) Temperature gauges are placed when
subjected directly to the inlet air and
discharge air.
(8) Two people will stay in the cab and
measure.

(b) Check Against Performance Table


Fig. 25
Test results are compared with the inspection
Dash Type Car Cooler Inspection Data
data.
For example, Fig. 27 shows the inlet air
temperature at 24 ~ 28°C and the discharge
temperature at 8 ~ 13°C when tested at the
ambient temperature is 30°C with the dash
type.
Also the discharge pressure of the compressor
becomes 14 ~ 1 6 kg/cm2 G, and the suction
pressure becomes 1.5 ~ 2.5 kg/cm2 G.
Thus, compare the test results by taking
ambient temperature on the horizontal axis,
and by reading the temperature and pressure
on the vertical axis. If the test results are in
between the read values, then the cooler is
running normal. If the measured values deviate
from the values in between, the case may be
that there is an error in the test or some
trouble in the cooler. In that case, retest or
check again according to the trouble-shooting
procedures.

3 Final Inspection
After completing the test run and before delivering
to the customer, recheck the condition while
referring to the instruction manual.

4 Lubrication method

(1) Turn power switch ON to activate the pump.


Grease is sucked up and supplied to high-pressure
grease gun a .

IMPORTANT:
When the pump begins to suck grease, any air inside
pump a will be mixed in, making grease turn whitish.
Open check valve cock to bleed this air-mixed grease.
Securely close check valve cock when all air-mixed
grease is bled out. b
a
(2) Grab high-pressure grease gun a and pay out the
hose from hose reel b to the length required.

(3) Press hydro-chuck d protruding from high-pressure


d
grease gun a into a grease nipple and pull the
c
lever to discharge grease.

(4) Release the lever when greasing is complete


grease discharge will stop.

Fig. 25
IMPORTANT:
When detaching hydro-chuck d from grease nipple e ,
grease nipple e tip may break unless a special care, is
taken, as follows: d
• Tip nozzle c a little so as to release the connecting
pressure applied to hydro-chuck d .
• Slowly detach hydro-chuck g from nipple e .

(5) When all greasing work is complete, turn power


switch OFF, then pull grease gun a lever to
release remaining pressure from grease gun a ,
pump, and the hose so as to ensure long life of the
e
components. A little grease will be discharged at Fig. 26
this time.

Note:
The hose has a limited service life. Periodically
inspect the hose for cracks, grease leakage, or any
other damage. If any damage is found, replace the
hose.

Notes:
i) Avoid moving the cylinder suddenly or quickly, or
the seals may be burnt.
ii) Stop the cylinder 100 mm before the cylinder rod
hits the stroke end during the first four cycles.
iii) Move the cylinder at full stroke on the fifth cycle.

3 Hold the cylinder at the stroke end for a minute to


apply relief pressure and bleed the air from the
cylinder. Repeat the procedure twice.
4 Stop the engine.
