- Start the engine.
- Place the machine on level ground.
- Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to
55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F) . - Empty the bucket.
- Fully extend the bucket cylinder and fully retract the stick cylinder. Refer to Illustration 1.
- Position the bucket on the ground. With a stopwatch, measure the time that is required to extend the boom cylinder to full extension.
Note: Do not include the time of the snubber operation of the boom cylinder.
- Position the boom cylinders at full extension. With a stopwatch, measure the time that is required for the bucket to come in contact with the ground.
- Refer to the specifications in Table 1 for the operating speed of the boom cylinders.
