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