Activate extend cylinder after fitting until cylinder shows movement. Reverse cyl-
inder until it returns to start position. Move cylinder backwards and forward sever-
al times. Raise roller fully onto wheels, extend side sections fully to bleed system.
If a cylinder is not bled correctly as described above, there is a risk that part of the
machine can suddenly move much quicker than normal, and before the tractor
driver can prevent it. This is because air (in contrast to oil) can be compressed. A
side section can therefore swing out very quickly if bleeding is not performed cor-
rectly. This represents a major risk of injury and personnel and damage to the ma-
chine.
Ensure no personnel are within the extension radius of the side sections.
Replacing gaskets
REMOVAL:
1. Drain oil from cylinder, use compressed air to move ram backwards and
forwards (if required) to force oil out.
2. Extend ram to centre position. Screw upper part (pos. 3) 30 mm outwards.
If upper part is stuck, heat front of sleeve to approx. 300
C, and allow to
cool.
When upper part has been unscrewed, extend ram towards upper part.
Unscrew and remove upper part, extract ram.
3. Remove lock nut (pos. 10).
4. Remove collar shoe (pos. 4).
5. Remove upper part from ram, (pos. 2).
6. Remove gaskets in upper part and collar shoe, (pos. 5+6+7+8+9) using an
awl or screwdriver if necessary.
7. Clean all parts, check for particles etc. Check for
rust around scraper ring (pos. 5) on the upper part. If any is
detected, remove thoroughly.
