SWIVEL MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE

SWIVEL MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY

The swivel manifold assembly is located between the top bracket, which is pinned to
the carrier, and the processor frame that rotates. Hydraulic oil for both the open and
close operations of the processor passes through this manifold. The swivel manifold
assembly consists of two main parts, the "Spindle Case" (BZ), which contains the oil
seals, and the "Spindle" (CA), which rotates with the processor frame (see Fig. 1).

LEAKAGE OF THE SEALS

External leakage or internal bypassing of hydraulic fluid will require the replacement of
the seals in the swivel assembly.
