4. The Rotor Actuator is a hydraulic operated
break-a-way unit. Before starting repair put a drain pan
under rotor actuator. The hoses at the actuator should
be loosen slowly, but NOT Removed to relieve
pressure in lines and actuator. Make certain that it is
the hose at the actuator and not the control or the relief
valve block. After the pressure if any has been relieved
the hoses can be retightened. This is important DO
NOT try to unbolt Actuator Pin or any other frame
component until the hoses have had the pressure
relieved. (See Figure 19, 20 & 21)
