Test

Note: Perform the test for the right pump and the test for the left pump one at a time.

------ WARNING! ------

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.

----------------------

------ WARNING! ------

To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage from failed lines or components while the hydraulic test equipment is returned to the open flow position, slowly open the hydraulic test equipment valve while monitoring the pump flow.

If pump flow does not increase as the valve is opened, shut the engine off and determine what is preventing the pump from upstroking.

----------------------

  1. Start the engine.

  1. 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.

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

    1. Press menu key (J) .

      Note: If more than thirty seconds pass between pushing the keys on the keypad, the menu mode will be cancelled and the previous display will be restored to message display (A) .

    1. Press down key (E) in order to highlight the second menu item "SERVICE OPTIONS" on the message display. Press OK key (I) .

    1. Input the password "FFF2". Press left key (D) or right key (F) in order to change the position of the flashing character. Press up key (C) or press down key (E) in order to change the value of the flashing character. Press OK key (I) after the correct password is displayed.

    1. Press down key (E) once in order to highlight the second line on the message display.

    1. Press right key (F) repeatedly until "DEVICE TEST" appears on the message display.

    1. Press down key (E) in order to move down one line on the message display.

    1. Press right key (F) until the "PS PRV - FIXED" appears on the message display.

    1. Press down key (E) .

    1. Press OK key (I). The display on line 4 of the message display will now change to a numeric value. These characters represent the power shift pressure (kPa).

    1. Press left key (D) or right key (F) in order to increase or decrease the numeric value that is displayed on line 4 of the message display. Pressing left key (D) one time decreases the power shift pressure 10 kPa (1.5 psi). Pressing right key (F) one time increases the power shift pressure 10 kPa (1.5 psi).

      Note: The value for power shift pressure on the monitor may not always match the pressure reading on the pressure gauge. Adjust the value on the monitor until the desired power shift pressure is attained on the pressure gauge that is connected to the pressure tap for power shift pressure. The actual power shift pressure must be 2550 kPa (370 psi) on the pressure gauge.

      Note: To prevent a change in power shift pressure during the pump flow test, do not turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

      Note: Refer to Service Manual, "Engine and Pump Elelctronic Control System" for additional information on Service Mode.
