John Deere 470GLC Excavator Repair Technical Manual (S.N after C047001 – )

Swing Motor Drainage

Summary:
1. Measure amount of oil draining from the swing motor while swinging the upperstructure and check the swing motor performance.
2. The amount of drain oil from the swing motor will change depending on hydraulic oil temperature.
Preparation:
1. Maintain hydraulic oil temperature at 50±5 °C (122±9 °F). Rotate the swing motor in order to warm inside of the motor.
CAUTION: Avoid possible personal injury from high-pressure fluid. High-pressure release of oil from pressurized system can cause serious burns or penetrating injury. Relieve pressure from hydraulic system before servicing.
2. Stop the engine. Push air bleed valve on top of the hydraulic oil tank and release any remaining pressure.
3. Measure the left swing motor drainage:
4. Disconnect drain hose (2) at left side tee (B). Connect the test drain hose (3/4-16UN) to the motor side and plug (ST 6637) to drain hose (2).
5. Measure the right swing motor drainage:
6. Disconnect right drain hose (1) at right side tee (A).
Install plug (ST 6491) on the tee side.

Required Torque……………………………………. 93 N·m (9.5 kgf·m, 70 lb.-ft.)
