Fundamental rules

4 Fundamental rules

4.1 General information concerning control block

connection
When removing the block, all openings must be plugged immediately to
prevent any contamination of the hydraulic system.
When replacing the block, remove the plastic plugs from the openings and
lines just before making the connections.
Do not tighten connectors to a torque greater than that specified in the
assembly instructions.
Check the hydraulic installation’s oil quality and filtration capacity during all
servicing/maintenance operations.
The use of Teflon tape, hemp and joint filler is prohibited.
Hydraulic lines and connections must not be under any strain whatsoever.

5 Removal / installation of the SX 14,

SX 14 S control block

5.1 General recommendations

NOtice
Property damages risk
ff Before removing the SX 14 control block from the
machine, the block and its surroundings must be
thoroughly cleaned (Do not direct the jet of a
pressure washing unit directly at the unit).
ff No impurities must enter the hydraulic system.
Plastic plugs are to be fitted on lines and orifices
immediately following their removal.

Danger
ff Wear protective clothing and use suitable equipment to prevent
accidents, particularly concerning the hydraulic fluid.
ff Use the lifting eyes and suitable handling equipment.
ff S
et all actuators connected to the machine in neutral position (on the
ground, at lower limit ...) to avoid accidents which could result from
uncontrolled movements of the equipment when the hydraulic system
is disconnected.
ff W
ith the machine off, release the pressure remaining in the system
by manipulating all of the distribution spools. This is performed by
moving the handle in all directions.

Removal / installation of the SX 14, SX 14 S control block

5.2 Removal of the SX 14, SX 14 S control block

ff Install a vacuum pump on the tank to limit oil leakage when
connections are removed.
ff After disconnecting the lines from the block, immediately fit the sealing
plugs. Make sure to collect any possible oil leakage in a suitable
receptacle.
ff Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the control block.

5.3 Installation of the SX 14, SX 14 S control block

ff Contact faces must be perfectly clean.
ff Check the evenness of support area on the machine (Tolerance:
0.5 mm).
ff Check the condition of line connector seals.
ff Clean the block if it has been in storage for a long period of time.
ff Correctly place and secure the control block onto the machine with the
mounting screws.
ff Connect the lines to the block as per the connecting diagram and
tighten to the torque specification (refer to the table in the Data sheet).
ff Ensure that hoses are not twisted or rub.

Once correctly installed, the unit can be placed into operation.

5.4 Starting, maximal pressure set up

ff Decalibrate the LS pressure relief valve (19 mm open end spanner on
counternut) before starting the machine,
ff Maintain one of the control block spool valve in action before the linked
hydraulic receiver is at the end of stroke.

On the spool valve, the value of the secondary valve pressure must be
greater than that of the ls pressure relief valve to adjust.

ff Adjust the maximum pressure measured in M using the LS pressure

relief valve (6 mm socket wrench).
ff Tighten the counternut of the adjusting screw to the torque:
20 ± 10% N.m.

7.5 Removal of mechanical detent system (pull

function only)
The control block does not need to be removed from the machine to
perform this operation.

Danger
Oil pressure
Machine off :
ff place all of the machine’s actuators connected to the control block in
neutral position,
ff release stored pressure by operating all the spools.

Notice
Environment damages risk
ff Install a vacuum pump on the tank to limit oil leakage during this
operation.
ff Collect possible leaks with a suitable receptacle.

Tongue side: see § 7.2

Cover side
Unscrew the 4 mounting screws (screwdriver Torx Tx30).

Remove the cover.

Remove the spool from the working section.

Use the spool clamp (Rexroth-Ref. R9 08 103 002) and a vuce to

secure the spool.

CAUTION

In order to avoid damaging the spool, place it

approximately 30 mm from the end of the spool (never in
the centre).

Using a metal rod (min. length = 80 mm, Ø 6), push the central ball while
extracting the detent bush.

CAUTION

Mark the orientation of the detent bush for the

reassembly.

Remove the balls and the spring.

Reassembly:
1. introduce the spring into the adapter,
2. place the 3 balls into the radial holes of the adapter and hold them with
a small amount of grease,
3. position the central ball against with the spring,
4. slip the detent bush onto a metal rod,
5. using the rod, press the central ball into the adapter, then slide the
detent bush onto the adapter, making sure that the 3 balls are still in
place,

CAUTION

The orientation of the detent bush must be respected.

6. remove the metal rod, assembly is complete.

Reassembly of the system inside the distribution element:

7. replace the O-ring on the spacer,
8. replace the lip seal, or replace the old spool seals (wiper ring + O-ring)
by a lip seal on the spacer side and tongue side (see § 7.2).

Position the metallic part of the lip seal on the outside.
The lip seal must be fitted on the end of the spool so
that it is not damaged on the spool grooves and its
tightness property does not deteriorate. (see § 9)
Lubrificate the lip seal with clean hydraulic oil and
Slide it perpendicularly onto the spool.

���� Use tool Rexroth-Ref. R9 08 250 793.

pushed or spool pulled)
this operation can be performed independently of the solenoid
replacement operation.
Remove the control block from the machine for this operation, if
necessary.

Danger
