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.

NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during

performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair
of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop

Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

1. Position the machine on level ground.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Hydraulic
System Pressure - Release".

(16) Valve (flow meter)

8. Turn valve (16) on portable hydraulic tester (7) clockwise until pressure gauge (11) on the
portable hydraulic tester shows a reading of 4100 200 kPa (595 29 psi).

9. Record the pilot pump flow at 4100 200 kPa (595 29 psi) in Table 1.

Note: Specifications for pump flow are based on an engine speed of 1800 rpm. To get more accurate
test results, measured flow should be corrected by the following calculation.

Table 2
Measured flow x 1800 rpm
Corrected flow =
measured rpm

Flow measurements must be done in pressure rise.
