Oscillating Axle Cylinders
The oscillating axle cylinders extend and retract
between the drive chassis and the oscillating axle.
The cylinders are equipped with counterbalance
valves to prevent movement in the event of a
hydraulic line failure. The valves are not
adjustable.
How to Remove an Oscillating
Axle Cylinder
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on
a firm, level surface with the boom in the stowed
position.
Note: When removing a hose assembly or fitting,
the O-ring (if equipped) on the fitting and/or hose
end must be replaced. All connections must be
torqued to specification during installation. Refer to
Specifications, Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque
Specifications.
1 Rotate the turntable until the boom is between
the steer tires or tracks.
2 Tag, disconnect and plug the oscillating axle
cylinder hydraulic hoses. Cap the fittings on
the oscillate cylinder.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to
squirt or spray.
3 Remove the pin retaining fasteners from the
rod-end pivot pin. Use a soft metal drift to
remove the pin.
4 Attach a lifting strap from an overhead lifting
device to the barrel end of the oscillating
cylinder.
5 Remove the pin retaining fasteners from the
barrel-end pivot pin. Use a soft metal drift to
remove the pin.
6 Remove the oscillate cylinder from the
machine.
Crushing hazard. The oscillate
cylinder may become
unbalanced and fall when
removed from the machine if not
properly attached to the lifting
device.
