Disclaimer
This Service Manual has been prepared by Parker Hannifin for reference and use by mechanics who have been trained to
repair and service hydraulic motors and systems on commercial and non-commercial equipment applications. Parker
Hannifin has exercised reasonable care and diligence to present accurate, clear and complete information and instructions
regarding the techniques and tools required for maintaining, repairing and servicing the complete line of Parker TK
Torqmotor Units. However, despite the care and effort taken in preparing this general Service Manual, Parker makes nowarranties that (a) the Service Manual or any explanations, illustrations, information, techniques or tools described herein
are either accurate, complete or correct as applied to a specific Torqmotor unit, or (b) any repairs or service of a particular
Torqmotor unit will result in a properly functioning Torqmotor unit.
If inspection or testing reveals evidence of abnormal wear or damage to the Torqmotor unit or if you encounter circumstances
not covered in the Manual, STOP – CONSULT THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER’S SERVICE MANUAL AND WARRANTY. DO NOT TRY TO REP AIR OR SER VICE A TORQMOTOR UNIT WHICH HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR INCLUDES ANY
P ART THAT SHOWS EXCESSIVE WEAR UNLESS THE DAMAGED AND WORN PARTS ARE REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL
P ARKER REPLACEMENT AND SERVICE PAR TS AND THE UNIT IS RESTORED TO PARKER SPECIFICA TIONS FOR THE
TORQMOTOR UNIT.
It is the responsibility of the mechanic performing the maintenance, repairs or service on a particular Torqmotor unit to (a)
inspect the unit for abnormal wear and damage, (b) choose a repair procedure which will not endanger his/her safety, the
safety of others, the equipment, or the safe operation of the Torqmotor, and (c) fully inspect and test the Torqmotor unit and
the hydraulic system to insure that the repair or service of the Torqmotor unit has been properly performed and that the
Torqmotor and hydraulic system will function properly.

Introduction
Low Speed High Torque, Hydraulic Motors
TK Series
This service manual has one purpose: to guide you in
maintaining, troubleshooting, and servicing the TK
T orqmotor (low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motor).
Material in this manual is organized so you can work on
the T orqmotor and get results without wasting time or
being confused. T o get these results, you should read
this entire manual before you begin any work on the
Torqmotor.
This manual also contains troubleshooting information
and checklist. If you must service the Torqmotor, the
checklist will help you to determine where the problem
may be.
The three-column format of the Disassembly and
Inspection, and Assembly sections will make it easier
for you to conduct major work on the Torqmotor. Column
1 gives a brief key for each procedure. Column 2
explains in detail the procedure you should follow.
Column 3 illustrates this procedure with photographs.
Read all material carefully and pay special attention to
the notes, cautions, and warnings.
A page with the T orqmotor exploded assembly view is
provided several places in this manual. The component
part names and item numbers assigned on this exploded assembly view correspond with names and item
numbers (in parentheses) used in the disassembly and
assembly procedures set forth in this manual.
Service part list charts are also provided in this manual
with the part names and exploded view item numbers
cross referenced to Parker service part numbers.
Service parts are available through the Original Equipment Manufacturer or Parker approved TK Distributors.
As you gain experience in servicing the T orqmotor , you
may find that some information in this manual could be
clearer or more complete. If so, let us know about it. Do
not try to second guess the manual. If you are stuck,
contact us. Servicing the T orqmotor should be a safe and
productive procedure, in order for the unit to deliver the
reliable, long-life operation engineered into it.

Troubleshooting Guide
NOTE: Before troubleshooting any system problem, check service literature published by the equipment and/or
component manufacturers. Follow their instructions, if given, for checking any component other than the T orqmotor
unit.
Low Speed High Torque, Hydraulic Motors
TK Series
Preparation
Make your troubleshooting easier by preparing as
follows:
• work in a clean, well-lighted place;
• have proper tools and materials nearby;
• have an adequate supply of clean petroleum-based
solvent.
WARNING: SINCE SOL VENTS ARE FLAMMABLE, BE
EXTREMEL Y CAREFUL WHEN USING ANY SOLVENT, EVEN A SMALL EXPLOSION OR FIRE COULD
CAUSE INJURY OR DEA TH.
WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND BE SURE
TO COMPL Y WITH OSHA AND OTHER MAXIMUM AIR
PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS.
Preliminary Checks
Hydraulic systems are often trouble-free. Hence, the
problem an operator complains of could be cause by
something other than the hydraulic components.
Thus, once you have determined that a problem exists,
start with the easy-to-check items, such as:
• parts damaged from impact that were not properly
repaired, or that should have been replaced; and
• improper replacement parts used in previous
servicing
• mechanical linkage problems such as binding,
broken, or loose parts or slipping belts
Hydraulic Components
If you think the problem is caused by a hydraulic
component, start by checking the easy-to-reach items.
Check all hoses and lines for cracks, hardening, or
other signs of wear . Reroute any usable hoses that are
kinked, severely bent, or that rest against hot engine
parts. Look for leaks, especially at couplings and
fittings. Replace any hoses or lines that don’t meet
system flow and pressure ratings.
Next, go to the reservoir and filter or filters. Check fluid
level and look for air bubbles. Check the filter(s). A filter
with a maximum 50 micron filtration is recommended for
the T orqmotor system.
Visually check other components to see if they are
loosely mounted, show signs of leaks, or other damage
or wear.
Excessive heat in a hydraulic system can create
problems that can easily be overlooked. Every system
has its limitation for the maximum amount of temperature. After the temperature is attained and passed, the
following can occur:
• oil seal leaks
• loss of efficiency such as speed and torque
• pump loss of efficiency
• pump failure
• hoses become hard and brittle
• hose failure
A normal temperature range means an efficient hydraulic system. Consult the manuals published by equipment and/or component manufacturers for maximum
allowable temperature and hydraulic tests that may be
necessary to run on the performance of the hydraulic
components. The Torqmotor is not recommended for
hydraulic systems with maximum temperatures above
200°F (93.3°C).
