Hydraulic circuits must be adequately bled of any residual pressure before proceeding with hydraulic repairs. Make sure adequate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, face shield, gloves) is being worn when initially disconnecting hydraulic fittings. Insure that there is no load resting on the circuit to prevent serious injury or death due to falling loads. Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate the skin, resulting in serious illness or death.

Introduction

This test procedure is to inspect the injector for leakage and observe the injection spray pattern for uneven spray.

12. Once the injector test kit and the nozzle tester group are arranged, connect the fuel line adapter (7) that is installed onto the high-pressure hose assembly (6) as refer to the Illustration 8 and Illustration 9 connect to the injector (12) that is being tested and leave loose. Start to actuate the lever on the nozzle test group until small amount of the fuel drips from the connection will allow air to purge from the setup. Tighten the fuel line adapter (7) at the injector (12) to 34 N·m (25 lb ft).

Test Procedure

Injector Test Procedure

Illustration 24	g06349545
Mounted Nozzle Test Group

Note: Follow all warnings from the introduction.

• First inspection for the injector (12) will be the leak or the drip test. Using lever on the nozzle tester group as shown in Illustration 3 and Illustration 4 to build the injection fuel pressure to 34474 kPa (5000 psi). Using the locking valve knobble turn to insure there is no leakage back through tester.

• Let set for a few minutes and observe the tip of the injector (12) that will be visible through the clear plastic shield, look for any leakage from the tip of the injector (12). If leakage or dripping is seen, then the injector (12) has tested bad.

• If the injector (12) is not leaking or dripping, then the injector spray pattern will be tested next. Using 12V supply from the battery, connect the injector pulse tool (17) to the correct terminals using gator clips. The module should light green, aim the strobe lights (on the bottom of injector pulse tool (17)) toward the injector tip orifice inside the fuel shield. Use the red button to trigger the spray. The injector (12) will pulse seven times and the strobe will light up the spray pattern. There should be eight distinct sprays for a full 360 degrees. If injection is not uniform or is only to one side, then the injector (12) has tested bad.
