1) PRELIMINARY REMARKS

1/1) SAFETY
The information contained in this manual must be studied and thoroughly assimilated before
undertaking any maintenance work on the equipment

Remember: SAFETY FIRST!

Always observe the warnings accompanied by the following symbols.

WARNING: Before starting any maintenance operation ensure that the machine is in a safe

!
location with good safety, ventilation and lighting conditions. Ensure that lifting equipments
and pedestals are compatible with elements’ weight. Follow all the safety instructions and
WARNING ware safety protections as gloves, goggle, helmet, safety boots, ear protectors.

WARNING: Before any operation stabilize and fix steadily all the elements on suitable
pedestals. Stop the power pack, switch the general power breaker and the battery switch OFF.
Place a tag or a board to warn other members of the personnel that maintenance work on the
WARNING machine is in progress.

WARNING: Pressurized oil jets could cause severe injuries. Before any operation on
hydraulic circuit, STOP the power pack and release remaining pressure in components by
operating hydraulic control levers several times. Always release the static pressure in
WARNING cylinders before disassemble them.
WARNING: NEVER WORK ON AN OPERATING CIRCUIT.

WARNING: While tests are in progress, do not allow any other member of the personnel to
stand in the area surrounding the moving parts. Stay at the control station to be able to stop
the movement and switch off the power pack.
WARNING

WARNING: Maintenance, adjustment and repairs are restricted to qualified personnel with
special training for the particular equipment. Always read the instructions carefully before
starting any maintenance work.
WARNING

CAUTION: Always use suitable tools and work in a clean place when dismantling
and assembling hydraulic components. After removing cylinders the hydraulic
inlet/outlet ports must be plugged to prevent dirt and air intrusion during operation.
CAUTION

1/2) ABOUT THIS BOOKLET

2) RELEASE PRESSURE
WARNING: Pressurized oil jets could cause severe injuries. Before any operation on
hydraulic circuit, STOP the power pack and release remaining pressure in components
by operating hydraulic control levers several times. Always release the static pressure in
WARNING cylinders before disassemble them.
NEVER WORK ON AN OPERATING CIRCUIT
.
RELEASING PRESSURE
• Place the moving part on adapted support to
1 1 prevent a sudden fall of moving parts when
releasing the pressure trap in the cylinder
chambers.
• Release remaining pressure in hydraulic
components and hoses by operating control
levers several times.
• WARNING: Cover the bleed plug 1 with a cloth
and thoroughly undo the plug in order to avoid
1 unexpected oil jet.
1
• Slowly loosen remaining static pressure.
• Same operation on the other end of the cylinder
or rotary actuator.
NOTE: Do not fully untighten bleed plugs and retighten
them after operation to keep free translation of the pis-
ton and the rod.
BLEEDING A CYLINDER

1 After installing a cylinder, bleed the air in the chambers.

1
• Tighten bleed plugs 1.
• Start up the power pack.
• Operate control levers several times and carry
out movement from stop to stop.
• Stop the power pack.
• Thoroughly untighten bleed plugs and breeze
1 the air.
1
WARNING: While tests are in progress, do
not allow any other member of the person-
nel to stand in the area surrounding the
moving parts. Stay at the control station to WARNING
be able to stop the movement and switch
off the power pack.

3) DESCRIPTION
See page 4

2 Each cylinder consists essentially of:

• a body (1) with a ball joint (2) attached,
8 • a rod (3) with the other ball joint (2) attached,
• a piston (4) screwed to the rod and fitted with
5
seals (*),

* • a pin (5) to prevent the piston unscrewing,

• a guide (6) screwed to the body and fitted with
* seals (*).
7
Some cylinders are also fitted with spacers
4
rings (7) or have yokes or threaded housings
instead of ball joints. Grease nipples (8) are
* sometimes mounted directly on the ball joint
yokes and not on the taper pins.
1 Disassembly and reassembly are the same for
all types of cylinder.

6/2/1) reassembling a ball joint
It is strongly recommended to use liquid nitrogen instead of a press for assembling a new ball joint.

!
WARNING
WARNING: Handling of nitrogen-cooled objects requires great caution and proper protection
(gloves and safety glasses).
Ball joints must be installed prior to reassemble the cylinder itself.
Nitrogen-mounted ball joint: see page 10
• Cool the ball joint (1) with nitrogen.
