1.Causes of trouble and solutions [1] General cautions This list consists of actions to be taken when an abnormality is sensed during use of the hydraulic motor. General cautions are listed below. 1) Think before attempting to fix a problem. Determine the nature of the abnormality before beginning work and think whether this same kind of problem has occurred before. Also, reconfirm whether the motor is the source of the problem. 2) Be careful about dust and dirt. The cause of wear is very often dust and dirt. So be careful that dust and dirt do not get into parts during disassembly. 3) Parts handling Parts are manufactured with a high degree of precision, so be careful not to scratch them during handling. 4) Do not damage O-rings or gasket surfaces while performing work. Also, it is recommended that O-rings are replaced for new ones during disassembly. [2] Investigating abnormalities in the motor main unit It is very difficult to search for the source of troubles in the hydraulic circuits. Inspect the following items and thoroughly investigate whether the motor is the source of troubles. 1) Inspecting oil within the casing Remove the drain plug and inspect the hydraulic oil within the casing. If a large amount of metal particles come out at the same time as oil, it is very likely that there is damage with parts within the motor. 2) Existence of abnormal noise Check whether abnormal noise is coming from the motor main unit. 3) Measure pressure for each part. Do not perform disassembly inspection carelessly. Measure pressure for each part and look for abnormalities in each area.

[3] Disassembly procedure

When disassembling the motor, disassemble using the sequence indicated below. The numbers in parentheses after the part names are the codes used in the structure diagram. a.Wrap the wire rope around the outer circumference of the motor, lift the motor with a liftcrane, and clean with white kerosene. After cleaning, dry the motor using compressed air. •To prevent foreign matter from entering the motor, mask each port with tape, etc. before cleaning off adhered dirt and dust. b.From the drain plug, drain the oil inside the casing (301). c.Point the shaft end of the drive shaft (101) downwards and secure the motor on a surface which makes disassembly easy. At this time, place reference marks on the sections of the casing (301) and valve casing (303) that match with each other. •Select a clean location for disassembly. Place a rubber plate or cloth on the platform so as not to damage the parts. d. Loosen the relief valves (051) and the reverse prevention subassembly, and remove them from the valve casing (303). •O-rings will be damaged when the relief valves are loosened, so be sure to replace the O-rings.

e.Loosen the reverse prevention valve and remove it from the valve casing (303). f. Remove the ROMH plugs (469) from the valve casing (303) and take out the springs (355) and plungers (351). •Be careful not to scratch the plunger seating sections.

g. Loosen the hexagon socket head bolts (401) and remove the valve casing (303) from the casing. (The valve casing will rise up from the casing when the bolts are removed due to the force of the brake springs (712).)

Additionally, remove the valve plate (131) from the valve casing. •Do this carefully so as not to let the valve plate fall from the valve casing. (The valve plate may be attached to the cylinder side.)

When prying open the matching surface with a screwdriver, etc., be careful not to scratch the surface. h.Take out the brake springs (712) from the brake piston (702).

i. Use a jig and remove the brake piston (702) from the casing (301). •Apply the tips of the jig to the sides of the brake piston. Pull the brake piston out straight up.

j. Move the motor on its side so that it is horizontal with the ground and remove the cylinder (111) from the drive shaft (101).

Additionally, remove the pistons (121), holder plate (123), spherical bushing (113), spacer

F (117), and shoe plate (124). •Be careful not to scratch the sliding surfaces of the cylinder, shoe, etc.

If the shoe plate cannot be removed, proceed to 11) and remove.

k.Take out the friction plates (742) and separator plates (743) from the casing (301). l. Use pliers to remove the locking ring, and then remove the front cover from the casing (301). •Be careful not to scratch the sliding surfaces of the oil seal when removing the front cover.

m.Tap the end surface of the valve casing side of the drive shaft (101) with a plastic hammer, and remove from the casing. •The spline will damage the oil seal (491) when the drive shaft is removed, so wrap the spline section of the drive shaft with vinyl tape, etc. (*1). n.Remove the shoe plate from the cylinder roller bearing (443) (housing section side) of the casing (301) by tapping with a copper rod.

o.Perform the following as necessary. 1.Remove the stop ring spacer from the drive shaft (101), and use a press to remove the inner race of the cylinder roller bearing (443). •It is acceptable to strike the inner race of the cylinder roller bearing using a steel rod, but be careful to strike the inner race evenly and to not damage the bearing. Do not reuse removed bearing. 2.Use a jig to remove the oil seal (491) from the front cover (304). 3.Use the slide hammer bearing puller (*2) to remove the cylinder roller bearing (444) from the valve casing (303). •Do not reuse removed bearing.

This completes the disassembly. Thoroughly inspect each section for abnormalities.

[4] Assembly procedure

The assembly procedure is the reverse of the disassembly procedure. However, follow the precautions below. •Be sure to repair any parts damaged during disassembly, and prepare replacement parts in advance. •Thoroughly clean all parts with cleaning fluid and dry with compressed air. •Be sure to apply clean hydraulic oil on sliding parts and bearings before assembling. •As a rule, replace all O-rings, oil seals, and other seal parts with new parts. •Use a torque wrench to tighten all installation bolts and plugs to the torque values specified in

Table 3.
