RT9130E-2 SERVICE MANUAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
UPPER TELESCOPE CYLINDER
Description
The upper boom telescope cylinder Figure 2-47 has a 7.5 in
(190.5 mm) bore and is internally ported (rod ported). Oil
from the telescope control valve is routed to the cylinder by
external lines. Foreign material is prevented from entering
the cylinder during rod retraction by a wiper ring in the head
and O-ring seals prevent internal and external leakage. The
retracted length of the upper telescope cylinder is 34 ft 9.5 in
(10.6045 m) and an extended length of 64 ft 5.25 in
(19.64055 m) from the end of the barrel to the end of the port
block on the rod.
The cylinder weighs 2022 lb (921.4 kg).
Maintenance

NOTE: Replace all cylinder seals and O-rings with new
ones anytime the cylinder is disassembled.
1. Using a chain wrench, unscrew the cylinder head from
the cylinder barrel.
2. Remove the cylinder rod assembly from the cylinder
barrel and cover the barrel to avoid contamination.
NOTE: Align old seals in order of removal to facilitate
installation of new seals.
3. Remove the guide lock ring at the top of the piston to
gain access to the setscrew securing the piston to the
cylinder rod.
4. Remove the set screw and discard.
5. Unscrew the piston from the rod.
6. Remove the remaining guide lock ring and hydrolock
seal assembly from the outside of the piston.
7. Remove the O-ring and backup rings from the inside of
the piston.
8. Remove the spacer from the rod.
9. Remove the cylinder head from the rod.
10. Remove the O-ring and backup ring from the outside of
the cylinder head.
11. Remove the wear ring, buffer seal, deep Z rod seal and
wiper ring from the inside of the head.
Inspection
1. Clean all parts with solvent and dry with compressed air.
Inspect all parts for serviceability.
2. Stone out minor blemishes and polish with fine crocus
cloth.
3. Clean with solvent and dry with compressed air parts
that have been stoned and polished.
4. Inspect the barrel for scoring.
Assembly
1. If removed, install the holding valve. Refer to VALVES in

NOTE: Lubricate new seals and rings with clean hydraulic
oil. Orient wear ring gaps 180° apart.
2. Install the wiper ring and wear ring on the inside of the
cylinder head.
3. Install the buffer seal assembly and deep Z rod seal
inside the head. Make sure the seals are properly
assembled and installed in the correct direction.
CAUTION
Flying Parts Hazard!
Do not use air pressure to remove the rod. Use only a
source of controlled hydraulic oil pressure if the rod is
hard to move.
Parts can fly from the cylinder at dangerous speeds when
using air pressure.
