Removal and installation of anti-
drop valve for arm assembly 1
k Place the machine on a level ground.
k Remove the anti-drop valve assembly from
the machine body, and then perform disas-
sembling of the anti-drop valve assembly.
k High pressure may remain in the anti-drop
valve assembly even after performing nor-
mal releasing procedure. Be sure to per-
form this procedure, and then perform the
releasing procedure.
k Anti-drop valve assembly is installed to the
high place. Set the scaffolding and wear the
safety belt always when performing this
work.
k When the arm cylinder moves only in one
direction inside the anti-drop valve for arm,
operate the cylinder to the stroke end in a
movable direction. Lower the bucket to the
ground, and then perform releasing the
remaining pressure.
k If the arm cylinder is not at the stroke end
and it is removed from the cylinder of the
anti-drop valve, it is very dangerous.

Removal
1. Check for the function of PPC circuit accumu-
lator.
1) Set the arm cylinder and bucket cylinder
t
o the most retracted position (maximum
arm OUT/bucket DUMP position), and
hold the work equipment at the height (a)
off from the ground.
a (a
) : 1.5 m
2) Keep the arm cylinder and bucket cylinder
at the most retracted position. Turn the
starting switch to OFF position to stop the
engine.
3) Turn the starting switch to ON position.
4) Set the work equipment lock lever in
F
REE position.
5) Check that the work equipment is lowered
to
the ground by slowly operating the work
equipment control lever to the boom
LOWER direction fully to the stroke end.
k Perform the step3. to 5 in 15 seconds
after the engine stopped, since the bat-
tery charge in the PPC accumulator
lowers gradually.
k If the work equipment is not lowered or
stops on the way, the battery charge of
the PPC accumulator may be lowered.
In such case, the remaining pressure
cannot be released with this proce-
dure.
a If
the work equipment is lowered by its
own weight to the ground, the battery
charge of the PPC accumulator is normal.
a PPC
accumulator is a periodic inspection
item and an important periodic replace-
ment part.
2. Releasing the remaining pressur
e in hydraulic
cylinder circuit
1) Start the engine.
2) Set the arm cylinder to the most extended
po
sition (maximum arm IN position), and
lower the work equipment to the ground.
a Anti-drop valve
is installed to the arm
cylinder, its head side.ï€
When the work equipment is lowered
with this postur
e, the oil in the head
side of the arm cylinder is drained,
and the remaining pressure is low.
