1.0 Hydraulic System

1.1 Pump distribution box

General information:

Make : Stiebel Getriebebau


Type : 4538
Gear lube oil volume : 50 litre

Recommended Gear lube oil :

Make : Total
Type : Carter SH 220
: Synthetic oil
Ambient temperature : -25 to + 800 C
0
Kinematic Viscosity at 40 C : 220 mm2/s Figure 1.1

For more information about the recommended total gear lube oil see also Annex I.1.
For an equivalent of the recommended gear lube oil (with the same specifications) see Annex VI or contact your oil supplier.
Other oil then the recommended oil must be CLP 220 to DIN 51517.

Maintenance:

After 200 operating hours - First oil change


- Recommended oil according to specifications above
Daily - Visual leak check
Weekly - Check for unusual noise
- Check oil level
Monthly - Check the tightness of all screws and bolts
Semi-annually - Check oil quality
Annually - Change oil
(or after 2000 operating hours whichever is earlier) - Clean air breather filter
- Clean magnetic plug on the drain plug
Every 4000 operating hours - Inspect coupling between diesel engine and cardan shaft,
therefore dismount cardan shaft and flywheel cover. If
there are sign of wear on the rubber element replace it. If
there are no signs of wear inspect every 500 service hours.

Table 1.1 Maintenance schedule

The transmission should be cleaned externally depending on the operating conditions and should every day be checked for any
leaks or loosened threads. Oil samples should be taken. Considerable signs of metal abrasion in the oil or at the drain plug
indicate increased wear of the development of a fault and in such cases the transmission should be examined carefully.

Filling of lubricant:

Check the oil level by loosening the dipstick on top of the pump distribution box (see figure 1.4). The oil level is to be checked
after about 15 minutes running time as oil collects in the mounting flanges or is dammed there to lubricate the splined hollow
shafts.
If necessary, replenish oil up to the specified oil level mark. Repeat this procedure until the oil level no longer changes.
At each oil change check all the seals and screw fittings for any leaks and, if necessary, retighten the screws.
A rise in the oil level in the pump distribution box is a sign of defective seals in the hydraulic units.
Running dry of the pump distribution box as a result of oil loss, causes premature gear unit failure.

Filler cap, breather nipple and oil dipstick may only be removed or loosened when the diesel engine is turned off.
Take always care of the general Safety Precautions on the first page of this manual.

The pump distribution box has its own gear lube oil cooling system. A pump constantly circulates the gear lube oil through the
oil cooler on top of the pump distribution box and through a (red) filter which is mounted on the cooler support.
(see figure 1.2 on the next page).

Replacement element: HYDAC 660 D


Replacement interval: First replacement after 500 operating hours

Kinematic Viscosity at 400 C : 68 mm2/s

For more information about the recommended total gear lube oil see also Annex I.4.
For an equivalent of the recommended gear lube oil (with the same specifications) see Annex VI or contact your oil supplier.

Maintenance:

Daily - Check hydraulic oil level (hydraulic tank)


- Check on leaks in hydraulic system
- Check if hydraulic oil cooler is clean, polluted oil cooler can
cause overheating of the installation.
Monthly - Check hydraulic hoses for damages
After 500 operating hours - Take sample of hydraulic oil and check quality*
- Change hydraulic oil if the quality is unacceptable**
After every 1000 operating hours - Take sample of hydraulic oil and check quality*
- Change hydraulic oil if quality is unacceptable**
After every 2000 operating hours - Change hydraulic oil filters***
(or sooner when hydraulic oil has to be changed)

Table 1.7 Maintenance schedule

* Oil quality check:

The hydraulic oil sample has to be checked for its lubricating capacity and the amount of pollution in the oil. If one or two of the
criteria isnt sufficient the oil has to be changed. A quality check of the oil can be carried out by your oil supplier.
Oil samples can be taken at every testing nipple on the pumps (see figure 1.27).
Required oil volume for quality check approx. 10 cc.

** Oil change:

If the oil quality is unacceptable it has to be changed according to the following procedure:

1. Stop the hydraulic system by turning off the diesel engine.


2. Drain the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank. This can be done in two different ways (option b is recommended)
a. Unlock the drain plug with magnetic bar on the bottom of the oil tank
b. Pump out the hydraulic oil by connecting a pump with the outlet nipple on top of the tank. On this nipple a
pipe is connected to the bottom of the tank. (see figure 1.28)
3. Clean the magnetic bar in the drain plug. The magnetic bar prevents possible steel parts in the oil from moving
through the hydraulic system and possible damage due to the steel parts. Two drain plugs are positioned on the
bottom of the hydraulic tank/cooler unit above the engine compartment (see figure 1.29).
4. Remove manhole covers and filters from the integrated filter box in top/front of the tank/cooler unit (see figure 1.30).
5. Clean the hydraulic tank and the integrated filter box internally by rinsing it with hydraulic oil. If the oil is not drained by
the drain plugs at the bottom (option a) but with a pump (option b) make sure the two magnetic bars are cleaned.
6. After cleaning close (manhole) covers and insert drain plug and high pressure filter elements.
7. Refill hydraulic oil tank with hydraulic oil according to table specifications above through the filling nipple on top of the
tank. (see figure 1.28). Refill from clean drums through a fine filter of 10 m. The oil has to be free of air bubbles.
8. Refill oil just above halfway the oil level indicator on the hydraulic tank (see figure 1.31).
9. Start the hydraulic system by turning on the diesel engine. Let the hydraulic system run stationary for a few minutes.
Due to the circulation in the system all pumps and motors are filled with oil which causes the hydraulic level to fall.
10. After the diesel engine is turned off again, refill oil till the level is again on the same level as in figure 1.31.
11. Recheck oil level after starting and stopping the hydraulic system.

-22-
SMT crane maintenance manual

.
If the oil level falls below the required oil level due to leaks in the system or loose of oil during repairs the oil also has to be
refilled. Before refill check the date of the last oil change. Usually it is more profitable to change all the oil at once instead of
refilling it. However if the oil is only refilled to the required level make sure the added oil is of the same type / quality as the
existing oil in the tank.
Always write down the oil quantity that is added to conclude the losses and to find the cause of a possible repair more easy.

-23-
SMT crane maintenance manual

.
*** Hydraulic oil filters:

The crane is equipped with 13 HYDAC hydraulic oil filters. For a reliable filter operation only original HYDAC filter elements
should be used. After every 2000 operating hours or in combination with an earlier oil change all filters should be changed.

The following types of filter elements are used in the hydraulic system of the crane:
- 4x high pressure filter elements mounted in the filter box in top of the hydraulic tank. (see figure 1.32)
The filter elements can be removed from the tank by the four filter covers in top/front of the tank unit (see figure 1.30)
Replacement element : 4x HYDAC 0950 R 010 BN3HC
- 9x low pressure filters mounted on 2 supports in the engine compartment (see figure 1.33).
Replacement element : 9 HYDAC 0240 D 010 BN3HC

For more information see manufacturers information.


A constant circulation filter (CC Jensen filter) is installed in the hydraulic system of the crane (see figure 1.34). This filter system
has its own pump, that constantly circulates the hydraulic oil from the tank through the filter back into the tank when it is turned
on by the switch as shown in figure 1.35. It is recommend to have turned on the CC Jensen filter as long as the crane is in
operation. The filter element of the CC Jensen filter, type HD 27, has to be changed every 2000 operating hours or every year.

Recommended hydraulic oil:

In order to simplify selection, different viscosity grades have been created. The identifying code relates to average viscosity in
mm2/s at 40o C. Viscosity grades (VG) 22 to 100 are in most common use.

VG 22 (A): for artic conditions or for extremely long pipelines


VG 32 (W): for winter conditions in central Europe
VG 46 (S): for summer conditions in central Europe
VG 68 (T): for tropical conditions or for areas with high temperatures
VG 100 (U): for excessively high temperatures.

Selection of viscosity grade is made on the basis of starting viscosity with ambient temperature (consider pour point where
necessary) and optimum operating viscosity according to system and operating data according to diagram 1.1.

Recommended coolant:

For detailed Cooling System Specifications see manufacturers information.

General coolant information:

NOTICE : Never add coolant to an overheated engine. Engine damage could result. Allow the engine to cool first.
NOTICE : If the engine is to be stored in, or shipped to an area with below freezing temperatures, the cooling system
must be either protected to the lowest outside temperature or drained completely to prevent damage.
NOTICE : In cold weather, frequently check the specific gravity of the coolant solution to ensure adequate protection.

Coolant is composed of three elements:


1. Water
2. Additives
3. Glycol
All Caterpillar diesel engines equipped with air-to-air aftercooling ATAAC require a minimum of 30% glycol to prevent water
pump cavitation.

Water:

NOTICE : Never use water alone without Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA) or without inhibited coolant. Water
alone is corrosive at engine operating temperatures. Water alone does not provide adequate protection
against boiling or freezing.

Distilled water or deionised water is recommended for use in engine cooling systems. If distilled water or deionised water is not
available use water with the properties that are listed in table 2.3.

Caterpillar Minimum Acceptable Water Requirements


Property Maximum Limit ASTM Test
Chloride (Cl) 40 mg/L D512 / D4327
Sulfate (SO4) 100 mg/L D516
Total Hardness 170 mg/L D1126
Total Solids 340 mg/L D1888

Acidity pH of 5.5 to 9.0 D1293

Table 2.3 Caterpillar Minimum Acceptable Water Requirements

Additives:

Additives help to protect the metal surfaces of the cooling system. A lack of coolant additives or insufficient amounts of additives
enable the following conditions to occur:
- Corrosion
- Formation of mineral deposits
- Rust
- Scale
- Pitting and erosion form cavitations of the cylinder liner
- Foaming of the coolant.
Many additives are depleted during engine operation. These additives must be replaced periodically. This can be done by
adding Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA) to Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant (DEAC) or by adding ELC Extender tot
Extended Life Coolant (ELC).
Additives must be added at the proper concentration. Over concentration of additives can cause the inhibitors to drop
out-of-solution.

Glycol:

Glycol in the coolant helps to provide protection against the following conditions:
- Boiling
- Freezing
- Cavitation of the water pump and the cylinder liner
For optimum performance, Caterpillar recommends a 1:1 mixture of a water/glycol solution.
Use a mixture that will provide protection against the lowest ambient temperature.
100 percent pure glycol will freeze at a temperature of -23 oC.

Recommended Coolant :

Make : Total
Type : Glycol Freeze

The cooling system is filled with water and the following additives:
1. Mono-ethylene Glycol : 50% (freeze protection to -360 C)
2. Inhibitor : 5%

Prescribed by Caterpillar is a glycol percentage of 30 60 % (freeze protection -15 to -510C) and 3 to 6 % inhibitor.

NOTICE : Do not use propylene glycol in concentrations that exceed 50 percent glycol because of propylene glycols
reduced heat transfer capability. Use ethylene glycol in conditions that require additional protection against
boiling or freezing.

For more information about GlycolFreeze see also Annex I.6.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

When changing, replenishing or draining oil or when taking oil samples, it must be
! guaranteed that no oil can escape onto the ground, penetrate the ground or surface
water or enter the sewage system.

! Oil dipsticks and/or overflow screws may be removed at machine in standstill only.
Injury risk!

! Prolonged contact with lubricants can cause injury to your skin. Use a protective skin
ointment

After prolonged operation the lubricant and surface of the gear units may reach
! temperatures which can cause skin burns. When working on hot components, wear
protective clothing, e.g. protective gloves.

! The applicable national, local and plant-specific regulations and requirements


concerning accident prevention and environmental protection are to be observed.

To prevent faults, it is necessary to carry out the regular maintenance and inspection
work prescribed. Any changes compared with normal operation (higher power input,
! temperatures or vibrations, unusual noises or smells, response of monitoring devices
etc.) are an indication that the unit is not functioning properly. To avoid faults which
could result in injury to people or damage to property, the maintenance staff
responsible must be notified immediately. In case of doubt switch off the relevant
item of equipment and ensure it cannot be switched on again.

! To prevent damage from overheating, dirt and dust deposits should be regularly
removed from gear unit surfaces and oil / water cooling surfaces.

Do not touch rotating components.
