Procedure for Steering and Lift/Lower Gear Pump<br />

Flow Test<br />

Output from the steering and lift/lower gear pump section<br />

is equally divided by a proportional valve to provide<br />

flow to the steering circuit and the lift circuit. To test gear<br />

pump flow, testing of both steering and lift/lower circuits<br />

is required. Total gear pump flow is the combined flow<br />

from the two circuits.<br />

1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temperature<br />

by operating the machine for approximately 10<br />

minutes. Make sure the hydraulic tank is full.<br />

2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting deck<br />

lowered and off. Make sure engine is off and the parking<br />

brake is engaged. Raise seat.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Prevent personal injury and/or damage to equipment.<br />

Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and Pre<strong>caution</strong>s<br />

for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning<br />

of this section.<br />

5. Start the engine and move throttle to full speed (2870<br />

RPM). DO NOT engage the cutting deck.<br />

6. While watching pressure gauges, slowly close flow<br />

control valve until 1000 PSI (69 bar) is obtained on<br />

gauge. Verify engine speed continues to be 2870 RPM.<br />

GAUGE READING TO BE: Flow approximately 7<br />

GPM (26.3 LPM) at 1000 PSI (69 bar).<br />

7. Stop engine and record test results.<br />

8. If a pressure of 1000 PSI (69 bar) could not be obtained<br />

or flow is lower than 6GPM(22.3LPM)(85% of<br />

expected flow), check for restriction in pump intake line.<br />

If intake line is not restricted, consider that gear pump is<br />

worn or damaged.<br />

9. When testing is complete, remove tester and reconnect<br />

hose to pump fitting.<br />

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the oil flow indicator<br />

arrow on the flow gauge is showing that the oil will<br />

flow from the pump section, through the tester and<br />

into the hydraulic hose.<br />

3. With the engine off and cutting deck lowered, disconnect<br />

the hydraulic hose from the 90 o fitting in the third<br />

gear pump section which supplies the steering and lift/<br />

lower circuits (Fig. 43).<br />

4. Install tester in series between the fitting and the disconnected<br />

hose. Make sure the tester flow control valve<br />

is OPEN.<br />

IMPORTANT: The pump is a positive displacement<br />

type. If pump flow is completely restricted or<br />

stopped, damage to the pump, tester or other components<br />

could occur.<br />
