Carrier hydraulic oil RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R 2. CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL 2.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL GENERAL REQUIREMENTS In general, the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this product. However, since working with the product heats the oil more than with the usual excavation work, the temperature of the oil must be monitored.
Page 41
RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Carrier hydraulic oil OIL SPECIFICATIONS The table below shows hydraulic oils recommended for product use. The most suitable oil is selected in such a way that the temperature of the hydraulic oil in continuous use is in the ideal area on the chart and the hydraulic system is used to best advantage.
Carrier hydraulic oil RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Note: We strongly recommend the use of different hydraulic oils in the summer and in the winter if there is an average temperature difference of more than 35 °C (95 °F). The correct hydraulic oil viscosity is thus ensured.
RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Carrier hydraulic oil 2.3 OIL FILTER The purpose of the oil filter is to remove impurities from the hydraulic oil. Air and water are also impurities in oil. Not all impurities can be seen with the naked eye.
Page 44
Carrier hydraulic oil RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Malfunction of valves ■ Binding spools. ■ Rapid wear of parts. ■ Blocking of small holes. Note: Component damage is only a symptom. The trouble itself will not be cured by removing the symptom. After any component damage due to impurities in the oil, the entire hydraulic system must be cleaned.
Routine maintenance RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R 1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 1.1 OVERVIEW This product is a precision-made hydraulic machine. Therefore, great care and cleanliness should be taken when handling any of the hydraulic components. Dirt is the worst enemy in hydraulic systems.
RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Routine maintenance 3. Check the jaws and teeth for wear. Replace if necessary. Any type of hardfacing welding on the teeth of the jaws is not recommended as they are made of die- cast, wear-resistant material. Hardfacing welding on the teeth would alter their special shape, reducing the ability to penetrate concrete as well as productivity.
Routine maintenance RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R EVERY 600 HOURS OR ONCE A YEAR The 600-hour/yearly service is performed by your local dealer. It is recommended every 600 operating hours or once a year, whichever comes first. Neglecting the 600-hour/yearly service can cause severe damage to the product.
Turning and changing cutting blades RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R TURNING AND CHANGING CUTTING BLADES Warning! Prior to maintenance or inspection, operate all the control levers to their fully extended stroke. This will release pressure within the hydraulic piping and prevent unexpected movement of the jaw and loss of oil through the hydraulic lines.

RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Replacing teeth For the product to perform and operate well and to reduce maintenance costs, it is necessary to replace the interchangeable parts before wear and tear can undermine their housings. If, due to lack of maintenance, teeth are lost during product operation, stop operation immediately or you will damage the housings on the product body.
Page 54
Replacing teeth RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R NOTICE! Any type of hardfacing welding on the interchangeable parts is not recommended, since they are made of wear proof material and hard to weld. Furthermore, the hardfacing welding would alter the flatness of the manufactured parts, making the coupling in their housings difficult.
Page 55
RPV14R, RPV22R, RPV29R, RPV39R, RPV53R, RPV75R Replacing teeth 5. By gently hammering, make sure that the key is in full contact with the tooth. Make sure that contact between the tooth and the adapter is maintained. 6. Prepare the STIMIX kit. The kit includes a pistol (3), one cartridge containing resin, and two mixing tubes.
