Title RW-1015 Locking Valve & Orifice Disc Interference

Document No. SB2062

Issue Date 07/29/2011 (BJF)

Release General

Units Affected RW-1015 units manufactured between July 2010 & June 22nd, 2011

Purpose Provide guidance on identifying and replacing leaking Locking Valve


Cartridges

Summary:
RW-1015 units with a Hydraforce locking valve (DC08-40), orifice disc, and Hydraforce
manifold body (7024840) may leak down due to interference between the locking valve and
orifice disc that prevents the cartridge from fully seating in the manifold body. The Parker
locking valve (CPD084P) is shorter and will not interfere with the orifice disc.

Identification:
See Figure 1 for an example of each brand of locking valve.

Figure 1: Parker & Hydraforce Locking Valves

RW-1015 units manufactured prior to July of 2010 did not include orifice discs from the
factory but some units were retrofitted with orifice discs once in service (to eliminate
Railgear stuttering during deployment). RW-1015 units manufactured between July of 2010
and June 22nd of 2011 were built with Hydraforce locking valves and orifice discs. These
units may have an external leak or an internal leak that prevents the Railgear from holding
its stowed position. See Figure 2 for an illustration of the interference.

The Parker locking valve is DMF part number 241016 (Parker # CPD084P). The .070”
orifice disc used on RW-1015 is DMF part number 600613. Please have your DMF Railgear
serial number and vehicle unit number ready when ordering parts.

Locking Valve Replacement:


1. Before starting work, lower the front and rear Railgear until it just touches the ground.
This will reduce the pressure in the hydraulic lines and prevent the Railgear axle from
falling during maintenance on the hydraulic system.
2. Remove existing Hydraforce locking valves (one for the front Railgear and one for the
rear).
3. Remove orifice disc (if equipped).
4. Re-install orifice disc with beveled side facing inboard, away from the locking valve
cartridge (see drawing 600611 below).
5. Coat the new Parker locking valve with Dexron III hydraulic fluid.
6. Carefully insert the Parker locking valve cartridge into the cavity and start the threads
by hand.
7. Torque to 15 foot pounds.
8. Test Railgear function and check for leaks.

DMF will replace defective parts under DMF’s warranty terms. DMF may require the return of affected parts to
determine coverage.
