    This document provides instructions for bleeding air from hydraulic cylinders after opening or replacing cylinders to avoid damage to the hydraulic system. It outlines a standard procedure involving running the engine at low idle and retracting and extending each cylinder several times without fully extending, then holding the cylinders fully extended for several minutes at low and high idle to remove any trapped air. It reminds technicians to check the hydraulic oil level after bleeding and add oil if needed.

    SUBJET: Hydraulic cylinder

    PURPOSE: Hints for bleeding

    APPLICATION: All types

    FAILURE CODE: H100BJ

    DESCRIPTION:

    To avoid damages to the hydraulic system caused by air in the cylinders, a bleeding
    procedure has to be carried out after each opening or cylinder exchange.

    • Read the safety instruction in the Operation and Maintenance


    Manual carefully, before starting any work on the excavator.

    1. Standard procedure for bleeding of hydraulic cylinder

    1. Run the engine at low idle.


    PC5500 and PC8000: Start for the bleeding procedure only one engine.
    Electric driven excavators: Set the service switch S155 (X2 – main
    board) to position “2” for “QMIN” control of the main pumps.
    2. Extend and retract each cylinder 4 or 5 times without going to the end of
    its stroke (stop approx. 100 mm before the end of the stroke).
    At first there can be a large amount of air inside the cylinders, so the
    cylinder may not move for the first ten seconds. In such cases, do not
    operate the joy stick to the end of its travel. Be carefully!
    3. Keep the engine running at low idle/or QMIN* and operate each cylinder
    from a point 100 mm from the end of its stroke slowly (take at least 10
    seconds) to the end of its stroke (fully extended) and hold the work
    equipment joy stick at the full stroke position for 3 minutes.

    4. Next run the engine at high idle/or QMAX* and operate each cylinder
    from a point 100 mm from the end of its stroke slowly (take at least 10
    seconds) to the end of its stroke (fully extended) and hold the work
    equipment joy stick at the full stroke position for 1 minutes.
    5. Repeat steps 2 – 4 if necessary.
    6. Make sure that the switch S155 is set to the “0” position as soon as the
    bleeding procedure of the hydraulic cylinders is finished.*
    * Electric driven excavator

    • After bleeding the cylinders check oil level in the hydraulic tank
    according to the Maintenance Manual and add oil if necessary.
