GENERAL
As the rotation unit is part of the hydraulic system,
it is particularly important that all components are
kept spotlessly clean to prevent dirt or other
impurities from entering and contaminating the
system.
Always attach plugs to the ends of hoses and
connections immediately after disconnection.
Inspect each component carefully and thoroughly
during reassembly.
Whenever overhauling, use all the components
included in the overhauling kit.
Replace any parts found worn or damaged, even if
such parts are not included in the kit.
IMPORTANT
Strict cleanliness must always be observed
whenever intervening in the hydraulic system.
Always wear clean protective clothing and
use clean tools.
Make sure your hands are clean before
handling sensitive hydraulic components.
Disassembling the rotation unit
1. Remove the rotation unit from the feed
frame.
2. Position the rotation unit on a flat and
stable surface.
3. Remove the filter (120).
4. Remove the four screws (62). Disconnect
hose (60) and lift off the motor (1) and
packing (3).

WARNING
Always observe the following safety rules when
carrying out service and maintenance work on
the rig.
● Read all instructions carefully.
● Make sure that the hydraulic system is
completely depressurized before
interfering with the system.
● Deviation from recommended pressure
setttings could result in personal injury or
damaged to the machine.
● Since temperature extremes will result in
different readings, the hydraulic fluid must
be at the normal working temperature
before perfomance tests are carried out.
Dismantling the chuck
The components in the chuck are common wear parts
and dimensionally dependent, therefor these parts are
not included in the overhaul kit but must be ordered
separately.
1. Undo and remove the eight screws (21)
and remove cover (25) together with the
O-ring (28) and guide pins (26).
2. Remove the rubber muff (20) with the
jaw set from the chuck housing (19).
3. Remove the wear washer (32) and
O-ring (33) from the chuck housing. Use
two M8 screws as withdrawing tools
when loosen the wear washer from the
chuckhousing.
 4. Remove the support rings (22) from the
rubber muff and then press out the jaw
set.
5. Remove the springs from the jaws.
6. Undo and remove the bolts (23). Use a
rubber mallet or an extractor to loosen
and remove the chuck housing (19).
7. Remove the V-ring (18), support rings
(35) and O-rings (34).
8 Remove the three cap screws (55), then
the guide cover (56) and remaining parts
as far as the bearing (46). Use two
screwdrivers to prise and bend the wear
washer (53) upwards.

Reassembling the rotation unit
Before starting reassembly
Clean and inpect all components
thoroughly for signs of wear or damage.
Replace if necessary.
During reassembly
Coat all O-rings with universal grease.
Lubricate other components with the
same type of hydraulic oil as in the
hydraulic system.
Reassembling
1. Reassemble the bearing (14) on the
spindle (39). Heat the inner bearing race
to facilitate reassembly.
Caution! Heat the bearing carefully to
max. +125°C. If the bearing is heated in a
wrong way, or at too high temperature,
the bearing can be damaged.
2. Mount the spindle with the bearing (14)
in the housing (38).
3. Reassemble the seal ring (37) and O-ring
(15) in the cover (17).
4. Reassemble the wear ring (36) and cover
(17). Tighten the six screws (16) to a
torque of 7 kpm.
5. Reassemble the U-packing (12) and
pipe (11).
N.B. The hole in the distributor is offset.
