Filling and Flushing the Hydrostatic System - Test

Usage:

IT14G 1WN
Note: The hydraulic lines and components must be hand cleaned. Use the same oil or use an equivalent oil that is in the machine. Install new filters. After the system has been flushed dispose of the fluid properly. Do not use mineral spirits, if biodegradable oil is used in the machine. If biodegradable oil is used in the machine, flush the machine with biodegradable oil only.

    Fuel Shutoff Solenoid

    (12) Wires to the fuel shutoff solenoid.

  1. Disconnect wires (12) from the fuel shutoff solenoid. Crank the engine without starting and look at the charge oil pressure. Do not crank the engine for more than 20 seconds. The charge pressure must be a minimum of 1500 kPa (220 psi).

  1. If the charge pressure is low, check the hydraulic oil level in the tank. Refill to the full mark. Use hydraulic oil that is clean and free of moisture. Determine the cause for low charge oil pressure before you restart the engine. When the charge pressure is correct, connect wires (12) to the fuel shutoff solenoid.

  1. Start the engine and run the engine at low idle.

  1. Look at the pressure gauges. The charge oil pressure and the high pressure oil of the drive loop should be 2500 ± 500 kPa (350 ± 75 psi). The pressures should be reached within 15 seconds of start-up.

  1. If the pressures are low, stop the engine. Check the hydraulic oil level in the tank. Refill to the full mark. Determine the cause for low oil pressure before you restart the engine.

    Note: If charge pressure is not reached within 15 seconds, damage to the hydrostatic system will occur. Do not allow the hydrostatic system to operate with incorrect charge system pressures.

  1. Start the engine and run the engine at low idle. Select the SLOW speed mode. Fully apply the service brakes and hold the service brakes. Disengage the parking brake.

  1. Move the direction control lever to the FORWARD position.

  1. Slowly increase the engine speed until the high pressure oil of the drive loop is 15000 ± 500 kPa (2175 ± 73 psi). Maintain the engine speed for one to two minutes. Return the engine speed to low idle.

  1. Movement of the wheels are not permitted.

  1. Move the direction control lever to the REVERSE position.

  1. Slowly increase the engine speed until the high pressure oil of the drive loop is 15000 ± 500 kPa (2175 ± 73 psi). Maintain the speed of the engine for one to two minutes. Return the engine speed to low idle.

  1. Movement of the wheels are not permitted.

  1. Repeat Step 12 through Step 19 six times (three times in FORWARD and three times in REVERSE).

After the failure of a component or after the replacement of a component, change all filters and clean all strainers. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly for the procedure to disassemble the return block that is attached to the hydraulic tank.

Flush the Drive Lines

  1. Sit in the seat and fasten the seat belt.

  1. Move the directional control lever to the NEUTRAL position. Engage the parking brake.

  1. Press the speed select switch in the SLOW mode.

  1. Start the engine and run the engine at low idle.

  1. Disengage the parking brake. Move the direction control lever to the FORWARD position.

  1. Increase the engine to high idle. Run the machine for 60 ± 30 seconds. Repeat in REVERSE for 60 ± 30 seconds.

  1. Move each attachment control lever one at a time to the FULL positions. Hold each attachment control lever for 7 to 13 seconds in the FULL position.

  1. Decrease the engine speed to low idle. Apply the service brake pedal. Move the direction control lever to the NEUTRAL position. Engage the parking brake.

  1. Go to the procedure for sampling the hydraulic oil.

Sampling the Hydraulic Oil




    Illustration 11g00499287

    Sampling Valve

  1. Wipe off the sampling valve in order to remove any dirt. Use a purge bottle in order to purge the sampling valve of 50 mL of hydraulic oil. Use a new 1U-5814 Bottle Assembly in order to draw a 100 mL oil sample through the sampling valve. As a recommendation, the contamination level should pass ISO 18/15. The ISO 18/15 is shown in Table 4.

    Table 4
    Hydraulic Oil Contamination    
    Particle Size (Microns)     Maximum Number of Particles in a 100 mL Sample    
    >5     250000    
    >15     32000    

  1. If the particle count exceeds the limits in the table, then repeat the procedures for the filling of the motor case. Then repeat the procedures for the flushing of the implement lines and repeat the procedures for the flushing of the drive lines.

  1. Obtain another oil sample after repeating the procedure. Measure the contamination level. Compare the sample to Table 4. If the particle count exceeds the limit on the second attempt, replace the charge oil filters. 102-2828 Clean up filters can also be used. Repeat the procedures for the filling of the motor case. Then repeat the procedures for the flushing of the implement lines. Repeat the procedures for the flushing of the drive lines.

  1. Obtain another oil sample after repeating the procedure for a third time. Measure the contamination level. Compare the sample to Table 4. If the particle count exceeds the limit on the third attempt, find the component that is causing the contamination and replace the component.

  1. After you obtain an acceptable oil sample, stop the engine.
