Solution
If the 188-4167 Plate or the 188-4166 Plate in the 204-2679 Swing Motor Gp fail, make sure that the case drain pressure is within functional specifications.

Top View Of A Swing Motor (A) Inlet port or outlet port (B) Make up port (C) Drain portThe typical case drain pressure is less than 70 kPa (10 psi). The maximum allowable case drain pressure is 200 kPa (29 psi). The maximum allowable case drain pressure is measured at the swing motor during stall condition of the swing motor or the travel motor. A fracture of the retaining plate in the swing motor and deformation of the spring plate in the swing motor can occur if the case drain pressure exceeds 2 MPa (290 psi).Measure the case drain pressure in order to make sure that the pressure is within functional specifications and that the hydraulic lines are not clogged. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Travel Motor - Test Measurement of Case Drain Oil" in the service manual that is appropriate for your machine. Replace the travel motors that are not within specifications.

Swivel Joint (D) Seal (E) O-Ring SealMake sure that the seals in the swivel joint are inspected for damage if the travel motor or the swing motor has failed. Refer to Illustration 2. The swing motor may fail again if the seals in the swivel joint are damaged. The seals must be replaced prior to reassembly of the swing motor. The swing motor may also fail again if the case drain pressure is not within the specification.Procedure For The Measurement Of The Case Drain Pressure For The Swing Motor
