Testing And Adjusting

Troubleshooting
NOTE: This section covers testing and adjusting procedures for the attachments, or
attachment components, discussed in this module. For testing and adjusting information
for the other components refer to the testing and adjusting module in the service manual
for the machine being worked on.

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems after the
 engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this
pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic
systems. To prevent possible injury, refer to section, Release Of Pressure
In The Hydraulic System, before any fitting, hose or component is
loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.

When possible, the bucket must always be lowered to the ground before service is
started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the raised position while tests or
adjustments are done, be sure that boom, stick and bucket have correct support.

Swing lock must be engaged before service is started.

Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other machines. Be sure
that other personnel are not near the machine when the engine is running and tests or
adjustments are being made.

Release Of Pressure In The Hydraulic

System
Release the pressure in the implements hydraulic circuits (boom, stick and bucket)
before any hydraulic lines or components are disconnected or removed.

1. Fully retract the rod in the stick cylinder.

2. Adjust the position of the bucket so that is will be flat on the ground.

3. Lower the boom until the bucket is flat on the ground.

4. Shut off the engine and put the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCK
position.

5. Move the control levers for boom, bucket, stick and swing to all FULL STROKE
positions. This will relieve any pressure that might be present in the pilot system.

6. Slowly loosen the air vent plug on the hydraulic tank and release the pressure.

7. Tighten the air vent plug on the hydraulic tank.

8. The pressure in the system has been released and lines and components can be
removed.

NOTE: The boom cylinder lines may still have some oil pressure if equipped with
boom lowering check attachment. There are bleed valves at the boom cylinders that can
be open to relieve any oil pressure that may remain.
Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the system is the first step when troubleshooting a problem. Make
the inspection with the engine OFF and the Implements lowered to the ground.

1. Check the level of the oil in the hydraulic tank. Slowly loosen the tank filler cap and
release the pressure before the cap is removed.

2. Remove the filter element and check it for material that would give an indication of
damage to a component.

3. Inspect all lines and connections for damage or leaks.

4. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken or damaged components.

Checks During Operation

The checks during operation can be used to find leakage in the system. They can also be
used to find a valve or pump that is not working correctly. The speed of rod movement
or the torque on a motor can be used to check the condition of the cylinders, motors and
the pumps.

Raise and lower the boom. Move the stick in and out. Open and closes the bucket. Move
the swing control for right and left swing. Do each of these operations several times.

1. Pilot system operation. Since the pilot system controls the movement of spools in the
main control valve, it is important the pressure and flow of oil from the pumps be
according to specifications. The pressure in the pilot system is controlled by the pilot
relief valve.

2. During all machine operations, a main relied valve pressure setting that is low will
result in increased cycle times and/or the sound of the main relief valve opening.

3. A main relief pressure that is too high will cause of decreased in the service life of
hoses and components.

4. For individual circuit operation, a line relief valve pressure setting that is too low will
result in increased cycle times and/or the sound of the relief valve opening for that
circuit.

5. Check cycle times for each of the circuits: boom, bucket, stick and swing. Cycle
times that are longer than those shown in the specification, see Operational Tests in the
specific service manual module for the machine being worked on, could be the result of
insufficient pilot system pressure, leakage past cylinder seals, pump wear, pump speed
(rpm), faulty relief valve (main or line) or pump control system adjustment.
6. Drift rate for the boom, bucket and stick circuit are greater than those shown in
Operational Tests in Hydraulic System Testing And Adjusting for the machine being
worked on.

Circuit drift (drifting) is caused by leakage past cylinder pistons, O-ring seals in the
control valves, check valves or makeup valves that do not seat correctly. Poor
adjustment or fit in the pilot and main control valves will also cause drifting.

7. Check machine travel circuits. Operate the machine in the FORWARD and
REVERSE direction without moving the control lever for steering. If the machine does
not travel in a straight line, there could be a problem with the negative flow control
signal to the pumps, motor wear or a line relief valve that is not operating correctly.

Line Relief Pressure Setting In The

Single Action Attachment Circuit
The line relief valve pressure setting in the single action attachment circuit is set to 17
700 ± 490 kPa (2550 ± 72 psi).

Specification of pressure, flow rate, engine rpm may vary with attachment types and/or
suppliers. It is very important to follow supplier specifications. Failure to do so could
result in poor level performance of the attachment.

It is important to record the appropriate engine speed where the respective specifications
were obtain. Use the engine speed recorded to operate the attachment for best
performance.

NOTE: Before starting adjustment of the line relief valve, be sure to check the
following:

Action alarm lamp (1) for controller (2) comes on in green.

Controller alarm indicator and monitor alarm indicator (4) on monitor panel (3)
indicates normal (OFF).

5. Loosen locknut (10). Loosen cap nut (11), but do not remove.

NOTE: Removing the cap nut allows the relief valve to come apart

6. Be sure that the flow meter is in the FULLY OPEN position.

7. Start the engine and get the hydraulic oil temperature to 45 to 55°C (113 to 131°F)

8. Place the power mode switch in MODE II position and the engine speed dial in
HIGH IDLE position "10".

9. Depress and hold the attachment control pedal.

10. Slowly turn the flow meter flow valve (8) clockwise to decrease flow. Record the
flow meter reading when the pressure reading at pressure tap (A) reaches the pressure
point specified by the supplier of the attachment to be used.

11. If the flow measurement is not below or does not meet supplier specification go to
STEP 12. If the flow measurement in Step 10 meets or is below the supplier
specification do the following.

a. Slowly turn adjustment cap nut (11) counterclockwise. Stop turning when the flow
meter reading starts to drop.

b. Now turn cap nut (11) clockwise until the flow meter reads the flow rate where the
specified relief pressure setting was obtained above.

NOTE: It would be impossible to get the specified relief pressure setting at the flow
rate specified by the supplier.
c. Tighten locknut (10) to a torque of 61 ± 6 N·m (45 ± 4 lb ft) to hold cap nut (11) in
place.

d. At this time stop flow through the flow meter. Read the pressure at pressure tap (A).
This is the line relief valve pressure setting in the attachment circuit.

12. If the flow measurement is beyond the specification do the following:

a. Turn the engine speed dial to the LOW IDLE position and then gradually increase
engine speed until the flow meter reads the flow rate specified by the supplier.

b. Record the speed dial position.

c. Slowly turn cap nut (11) counterclockwise. Stop turning when the flow meter reading
starts to drop.

d. Turn cap nut (11) clockwise until tflow through he flow meter meets supplier
specification.

e. Tighten locknut (10) to a torque of 61 ± 6 N·m (45 ± 4 lb ft) to hold cap nut (11) in
place.

f. At this time stop flow through the flow meter. Read the pressure at pressure tap (A).
This is the line relief valve pressure setting in the attachment circuit.
