piston. The Power Tilt should be mounted on the carrier with the torque foot TYPICAL (Item 07) oriented towards the carrier. POWER TILT CIRCUIT For instructions on proper bucket and attachment mounting and dismount- (PT Model Shown) ing, please refer to third party bucket/attachment/coupler manufacturer(s). HYDRAULIC REQUIREMENTS AND PLUMBING The carrier must be fitted with a two-way hydraulic circuit (a typical circuit schematic is provided to the right).
the bottom of page 8. Use high pressure, braided steel hose and/or steel tubing which meets or exceeds the hydraulic system's rating. To minimize the possibility of damage to the hydraulic circuit, it is recommended that lines and hoses be routed using one of the suggested hose routings illustrated at the bottom of page 7.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Power Tilt does not Excessive down pressure This is normal. The integral cross hold position. applied by excavator causing port relief valve is designed to protect buildup of pressure in the the Power Tilt from excessive internal Power Tilt which is opening pressures that can damage the unit.
Port P1. Pressurize until the shaft reaches the end of rotation and bottoms out externally, e.g. OPERATING CONCEPT The Power Tilt uses Helac's sliding spline Bars indicate starting technology which converts linear piston positions of piston and shaft.
DISASSEMBLY Note: Metric fasteners are used throughout. 1. Remove all hydraulic fittings. Place the Power Tilt on a clean work bench with ample room to place the internal parts as they are removed. 2. PT/PTB/TTB/TBB Series - Subframe coupler removal 1) Unthread and remove the torque foot mounting screws (104).
Housing Inspect the cylinder bore for wear and scratches. The surface finish should be 32 RMS or better. If the bore requires rehoning, return the housing to Helac Corporation for rehoning. Inspect all bearing contact surfaces for damage and/or contamination and repair and clean as necessary.
