RT530E-2 SERVICE MANUAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. Install the replacement wear rings, buffer seal, rod seal
and wiper ring in the inside of the head. Make sure the
buffer seal’s step is closer to the rod seal. Make sure the
rod seal’s rim groove is closer to the buffer seal
(Figure 2-29).
2. Install the replacement O-ring and the backup ring on
the outside of the head.
3. Install the replacement O-ring and backup rings in the
inside of the piston.
4. Lubricate the rod with clean hydraulic oil.
5. Slide the head, wiper ring end first, onto the rod.
6. Screw the piston onto the rod until tight. Secure the
piston with the set screw.
7. Install the replacement hydrolock seals on the outside of
the piston. Make sure the “vees” on the two hydrolock
seals point at each other (Figure 2-30).
8. Lubricate all parts freely with clean hydraulic oil.
9. Remove the cover from the barrel. Insert the rod and
attached parts into the barrel with a slight twisting
motion.
10. Using a spanner wrench or chain wrench, screw the
head into place in the barrel.
11. Position the holding valve on the cylinder barrel and
secure with four capscrews and washers. Torque
capscrews 97.6 to 105.7 Nm (72 to 78 pounds-foot).
Connect tubing to holding valve.
12. Pressurize and cycle the cylinder with hydraulic oil
pressure. Test the cylinder at 41,368 kPa/413.6 bar
(6000 psi). Check for proper operation and any leakage.
Make repairs as needed.
