(tank hot to the touch) during testing.

Equipment Needed to Perform Tests

from Hydraulic Diagnostic Test Kit

Test Location

Gauge

Fittings

2, 6, 5

4,000 psi gauge
(280 bar gauge)

Unit equipped with fittings from
factory.

3, 4, 7, 8

1,000 psi gauge

(70 bar gauge)

Unit equipped with fittings from
factory.

9, 10

300 psi gauge

(21 bar gauge)

Requires a #4 o-ring Boss Fitting
with Diagnostic Nipple.

CAUTION: GAUGE DAMAGE may occur. Malfunctioning hydraulic system circuits
may have excessive pressure and can cause hydraulic pressure spikes. Test circuit
with the highest reading pressure gauge first. If this gauge cannot record an
accurate pressure reading, use the next lower pressure gauge.

To check flow readings, a flow meter capable of measuring 60 gpm (227,1 liter/min) and a load valve
capable of 6,000 psi (413,4 bar) will be required (not included with Hydraulic Diagnostic Test Kit).

Test both pump sections of the tandem gear pump separately. Test the primary pump section first. When testing
the pump sections, return the oil from the flow meter directly into the hydraulic tank fill hole.
Run test at 2,000 psi (137,8 bar) load @ Engine Speed of 2,475 - 2,525 rpm.

PRIMARY PUMP (pump section closest to the transmission) - Label and disconnect the outlet hose from the
primary pump and allow the hose to hang loose. Cover, cap or plug the primary pump outlet hose to prevent
contamination of the hydraulic system. Connect the flow meter to the outlet port on the primary pump — Flow rate
should be 16.5-19.5 GPM (62,5-73,8 liter/min).

SECONDARY PUMP (pump section furthest from the transmission) - Label and disconnect the outlet hose
from the secondary pump and connect to the outlet port on the primary pump. Connect the flow meter to the outlet
port on the secondary pump — Flow rate should be 13.2-15.5 GPM (49,9-58,7 liter/min).

Note: When testing on the secondary pump is completed make sure to disconnect the secondary pump outlet hose
from the primary pump outlet port and reconnect it to the secondary pump outlet port. Also make sure to re-connect the
primary pump outlet hose to the primary pump outlet port.

for Pressure

Readings

At start up, the pressure should jump up to and stop
momentarily at 750 psi (51,7 bar), which is the pre-charge
pressure. The pressure should then continue to rise to 2,200-
2,400 psi (151,6-165,4 bar) which is the accumulator charge
pressure. Let the system bleed down naturally with the engine
at idle (minimum of 2 minutes). The accumulator charge
pressure should recharge at 1145-1345 psi (78,9-92,7 bar).

With engine at high idle, use the boom control lever to fully
retract the boom. Hold over relief and check pressure. If
pressure is incorrect, adjust or replace cartridge located in the
end section of the main control valve.
