How to Bleed Air from Excavator Hydraulic Pump - Kyotechs

2024-08-24
Learn how to effectively bleed air from an excavator hydraulic pump with this comprehensive guide by Kyotechs, your trusted partner in excavator solutions since 2009.

Understanding Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic systems power modern excavators, facilitating robust and precise movements necessary for excavation work. Air within these systems interrupts hydraulic flow, leading to diminished power and potential damage. At Kyotechs, we understand that maintaining hydraulic system integrity is crucial for the functionality of your equipment. Established in 2009, Kyotechs has been a trusted provider of high-quality excavator parts, serving brands such as Hitachi, Sany, Kawasaki, Volvo, Hyundai, Doosan, Komatsu, Caterpillar, Case, and Kobelco.

Why Regular Maintenance is Crucial

Regular maintenance of your excavator's hydraulic system ensures continuing operational efficiency and longevity. Air pockets, often introduced during component replacement or repairs, can cause erratic or inefficient system performance. By following our guide, you'll be equipped to handle this potential disruption with confidence.

Step-by-Step Guide to Bleed Air from Excavator Hydraulic Pump

Step 1: Safety First

Ensure your excavator is on firm, level ground and that it is turned off. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before starting to avoid any potential hazards.

Step 2: Secure the Excavator

Securely place the excavator bucket or arm on the ground to prevent any movement that might result from the removal of air pockets.

Step 3: Locate the Bleed Points

Consult your excavator's manual to locate the designated bleed points on the hydraulic pump. These points allow trapped air to escape from the system.

Step 4: Prepare for Bleeding

Gather necessary tools, such as wrenches and a suitable container to catch any hydraulic fluid, preventing unnecessary spillage and environmental contamination.

Step 5: Begin the Bleeding Process

Loosen the bleed valve while keeping a close eye on any escaping air or fluid. Allow the system to naturally expel the air by gravity or air gun. Avoid any force that might damage the system components.

Step 6: Monitor Hydraulic Fluid Levels

As air is expelled, hydraulic fluid levels may drop. Continuously monitor and replenish the fluid to manufacturer-recommended levels to maintain system integrity.

Step 7: Test the Excavator

After the bleeding process is complete, test the excavator to ensure smooth and efficient operation. Look for indicators of trapped air such as noise or jerky movements.

Tips for Maintaining Hydraulic System Efficiency

- Regular Checks: Frequently check hydraulic fluid levels and bleed the system as part of regular maintenance.

- Use Quality Fluids: Ensure you're using high-quality hydraulic fluids that meet your manufacturer’s specifications.

- Timely Replacement: Replace hydraulic filters regularly to prevent contamination and prolong component life.

FAQs

Q1: How often should I bleed air from the hydraulic pump?

Regular bleeding should align with your maintenance schedule or after any repair that involved opening the hydraulic system.

Q2: What are the signs of air in the hydraulic system?

Noises such as knocking or hissing, along with erratic or delayed mechanical movements, indicate trapped air.

Q3: Can I bleed the hydraulic system myself, or should I consult a professional?

Following this guide, the process can be safely executed by yourself unless specific issues or complex systems necessitate professional expertise.

Conclusion

Maintaining your excavator's hydraulic system is essential for optimal performance and longevity.

Question you may concern
FAQS
Why do you need to check and replace the engine belt regularly?

Regularly checking and replacing the engine belt can prevent the belt from breaking and ensure the normal operation of the engine.

Why do you need to lubricate each joint and bearing regularly?

Regular lubrication can reduce wear, prevent corrosion, and extend the service life of each component of the excavator.

How often should the coolant be changed?

Usually the coolant is changed every two years or as recommended by the manufacturer.

What is the function of the hydraulic pump pressure relief valve?

The pressure relief valve protects the hydraulic system from damage caused by excessive pressure by releasing excess hydraulic oil when the pressure exceeds the set value.

How to resolve slow hydraulic system response?

Possible clogged filter, low hydraulic oil level, or worn pump components.

Solution: Clean or replace filter, refill hydraulic oil, inspect and replace worn components.
