To prevent personal injury or equipment damage from failure of the hydraulic test equipment or associated circuit components because of blocked pump flow, make sure that the test equipment valves are fully open before starting the engine.

1. Position the machine on level ground.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release".

4. Install the following tools in accordance with the flow meter tool layout and the circuit diagram. Refer to Illustration 1 and Illustration 2.

   1. Install multitach group (13) on engine (12) .

   2. Remove line (8) from tee (9) at gear pump (14) for the fan motor.

   3. Install seal (49) and plug (6) to the end of line (8) .

   4. Install seal (49) and elbow (48) to tee (9) at gear pump (14) for the fan motor.

   5. Install seal (34), coupling (47), seal (34) and nipple assembly (36) to elbow (48) .

   6. Remove line (10) from tee (9) at gear pump (14) for the fan motor.

   7. Install seal (49) and plug (6) to the end of line (10) .

   8. Install seal (49) and cap (50) to tee (9) .

   9. Disconnect makeup line (4) from connector (2) at swing motor (1) .

   10. Assemble and install seals (30), tee (3), swivel elbow (40) and coupling (37) to connector (2) at swing motor (1) .

   11. Connect portable hydraulic tester (7) and test hoses between nipple assembly (36) at the pilot pump and coupling (37) at the swing motor.

5. Start the engine.

6. Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch OFF. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test" for engine rpm settings.

7. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

8. Turn valve (16) on portable hydraulic tester (7) clockwise until the pressure gauge on the portable hydraulic tester shows a reading of 8900 ± 200 kPa (1290 ± 29 psi).

9. Record the gear pump flow at 8900 ± 200 kPa (1290 ± 29 psi) in Table 1.

   Note: For high ambient specifications, repeat Steps 8 and 9 using the pressure of 14000 ± 200 kPa (2050 ± 29 psi).

Note: Specifications for pump flow are based on an engine speed of 1800 rpm. To get more accurate test results, measured flow should be corrected by the following calculation.

Flow measurements must be done in pressure rise.
