Testing
The most effective method for isolating problems in the
hydraulic system is by using hydraulic test equipment
such as pressure gauges and flow meters in the circuits
during various operational checks (See the Special
Tools section in this Chapter).
Before Performing Hydraulic Tests
IMPORTANT: All obvious areas such as oil supply,
filter, binding linkages, loose fasteners or improper
adjustments must be checked before assuming that
a hydraulic component is the source of the problem.
Precautions for Hydraulic Testing
CAUTION
Failure to use gauges with recommended pres-
sure (PSI) rating as listed in test procedures
could result in damage to the gauge and possible
personal injury from leaking hot oil.
CAUTION
All testing should be performed by two (2)
people. One person should be in the seat to oper-
ate the machine, and the other should read and
record test results.
CAUTION
Operate all hydraulic controls to relieve system
pressure and avoid injury from pressurized hy-
draulic oil. Controls must be operated with the
ignition switch in OFF. Remove key from the igni-
tion switch.
WARNING
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Do not use hands to search for
leaks; use paper or cardboard. Hydraulic fluid
escaping under pressure can have sufficient
force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. If fluid is injected into the skin, it must
be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury. Gan-
grene may result from such an injury.
Before disconnecting or performing any work
on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the
system must be relieved and all rotating ma-
chine parts must be stopped. Stop engine;
lower or support attachments.
WARNING
1. Clean machine thoroughly before disconnecting or
disassembling any hydraulic components. Always keep
in mind the need for cleanliness when working on hy-
draulic equipment. Contamination will cause excessive
wear of components.
2. Put metal caps or plugs on any hydraulic lines left
open or exposed during testing or removal of compo-
nents.
3. The engine must be in good operating condition. Use
a phototac when performing a hydraulic test. Engine
speed can affect the accuracy of the tester readings.
Check actual speed of the pump when performing flow
testing.
4. When using the hydraulic tester with pressure and
flow capabilities, the inlet and the outlet hoses must be
properly connected and not reversed to prevent dam-
age to the hydraulic tester or components.
5. When using the hydraulic tester with pressure and
flow capabilities, completely open load valve in the tes-
ter before starting the engine to minimize the possibility
of damaging components.
6. Install fittings finger tight and far enough to make
sure that they are not cross--threaded before tightening
them with a wrench.
7. Position tester hoses to prevent rotating machine
parts from contacting and damaging the hoses or tester.
8. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. After con-
necting test equipment, make sure tank is full.
9. Check control linkages for improper adjustment,
binding or broken parts.
10.After installing test gauges, run engine at low speed
and check for any hydraulic oil leaks.
11.All hydraulic tests should be made with the hydraulic
oil at normal operating temperature.
12.Before returning machine to use, make sure that hy-
draulic reservoir has correct fluid level.
