- 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.
- Stop the engine.
- Connect connector (3) to the solenoid valve for swing parking brake (4) .
- Repeat this test procedure three times in order to obtain three measurements. For each test procedure, swing the upper structure to a different position.
The following values specify the maximum acceptable flow of case drain oil when the swing relief pressure is set at 26000 ± 980 kPa (3750 ± 140 psi).
- New swing motor ... 30 L/min (7.9 US gpm)
- Rebuilt swing motor ... 35 L/min (9.2 US gpm)
