- Start the engine.
- Place the engine speed dial at position "10" and AEC switch OFF. Maintain the maximum no-load speed at 1860 ± 50 rpm.
Reference: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test" for engine rpm settings.
- Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).
- Slowly move the swing joystick and make sure that the swing parking brake is activated.
- Move the swing joystick fully for one minute. Measure the case drain oil.
