Service Recommendations For Hydraulic Fittings - Hitachi EX 3600-6 Operator's Manual

SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HY-
DRAULIC FITTINGS
Two hydraulic fitting designs are used on this machine.
Flat Face O-ring Seal Fitting (ORS Fitting)
An O-ring is used on the sealing surfaces to prevent oil
leakage.
1. Inspect fitting sealing surfaces (6). They must be free
of dirt or defects.
2. Replace O-ring (1) with a new one when assembling
fittings.
3. Lubricate O-ring (1) and install it into groove (3) using
petroleum jelly to hold it in place.
4. Tighten fitting (2) by hand, pressing the fitting joint
together to ensure O-ring (1) remains in place and is
not damaged.
5. Tighten fitting (2) or nut (4) to the torque values
shown. Do not allow hose (5) to twist when tightening
fittings.
6. Check for leaks. If oil leaks from a loose connection,
do not tighten fitting (2). Open the connection, re-
place O-ring (1) and check for correct O-ring position
before tightening the connection.
