Specifications

Setup and Installation

Installation of the hydraulic main pump should be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrect installation can lead to system failure or damage.

1. Preparation: Ensure the excavator is powered off, the engine is cool, and all hydraulic pressure is relieved. Disconnect the battery.
2. Access: Locate and access the existing hydraulic main pump on the excavator. Refer to the excavator's service manual for specific access procedures.
3. Drain Hydraulic Fluid: Carefully drain the hydraulic fluid from the system into a suitable container.
4. Disconnect Lines: Label and disconnect all hydraulic lines and electrical connections from the old pump. Cap open lines to prevent contamination.
5. Remove Old Pump: Unbolt and carefully remove the old hydraulic pump. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new pump.
6. Inspect Area: Clean the mounting surface and inspect for any damage or debris.
7. Install New Pump: Carefully position the new N\C 708-1S-11212 pump onto the mounting surface. Ensure proper alignment with the engine's power take-off (PTO) shaft.
8. Secure Pump: Install and tighten mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque.
9. Reconnect Lines: Reconnect all hydraulic lines and electrical connections, ensuring they are securely fastened and correctly routed according to the labels made during removal.
10. Refill Hydraulic Fluid: Refill the hydraulic system with the appropriate type and amount of hydraulic fluid as specified in the excavator's manual.
11. Bleed System: Follow the excavator manufacturer's procedure for bleeding air from the hydraulic system.
12. Initial Start-up: Reconnect the battery. Start the excavator and check for leaks and proper operation. Monitor hydraulic pressure and temperature.

Operating Guidelines

Once installed, the hydraulic main pump operates as an integral part of the excavator's hydraulic system. Proper operation of the excavator ensures the longevity of the pump.

• Warm-up: Allow the excavator to warm up properly before engaging in heavy-duty operations. This allows hydraulic fluid to reach optimal operating temperature.
• Monitor Gauges: Regularly monitor the hydraulic pressure and temperature gauges on the excavator's control panel. Abnormal readings may indicate an issue.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the excavator's rated operating capacity, as this can put excessive strain on the hydraulic pump.
• Smooth Operation: Operate hydraulic controls smoothly and avoid sudden, jerky movements to prevent shock loads on the system.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the reliable operation and extended lifespan of the hydraulic main pump.

1. Hydraulic Fluid Check: Check hydraulic fluid level daily and top up as necessary with the recommended fluid type.
2. Hydraulic Fluid Replacement: Replace hydraulic fluid and filters according to the excavator manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Contaminated fluid is a primary cause of pump failure.
3. Filter Inspection: Inspect hydraulic filters regularly. Clogged filters can restrict flow and cause pump cavitation.
4. Leak Inspection: Periodically inspect all hydraulic lines, connections, and the pump itself for any signs of leaks. Address leaks immediately.
5. Mounting Bolt Torque: Check the torque of the pump's mounting bolts periodically to ensure they remain secure.
