Main Pump (Flow) - Test - Constant Horsepower Flow Control

SMCS - 5070-081-FW
This test measures individual pump flow at the pump. Each pump is tested individually for output flow
at specified pressures. The pump that is not being tested is not under load and the pump remains at low
pressure standby.

Note: Before starting main pump flow tests, check message display (4) on monitor (3) and alarm lamp
(1) on electronic control module (2) for normal operation. If no faults are present, perform the
operational checks. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Operational Checks".
Note: If the operational checks (cycle time) indicate that slow speed of an implement is common to the
circuits of one pump, the problem is most likely in the hydraulic system. Then perform the pump flow
tests. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Main Pump (Flow) - Test".
Note: The engine, the fuel, or the working altitude may be the problem if the operational checks indicate
that slow speed of an implement is common to both pump circuits.

Test

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.

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.
2. 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.
3. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55 5C (131 9F).

4. Start Service Mode and input a fixed power shift pressure of 2400 50 kPa (350 7.5 psi).
a. 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) .
b. Press down key (E) in order to highlight the menu item "SERVICE OPTIONS" on the
message display. Press OK key (I) .
c. 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.
d. Press down key (E) once in order to highlight the second line on the message display.
e. Press right key (F) repeatedly until "DEVICE TEST" appears on the message display.
f. Press down key (E) in order to move down one line on the message display.
g. Press right key (F) until the "PS PRV - FIXED" appears on the message display.
h. Press down key (E) .
i. 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).
j. 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 2400 50 kPa (350 7.5 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 Electronic Control System" for

additional information on Service Mode.

5. In order to perform flow measurements for either one of the pumps, the other pump must not be
under load.
6. Turn valve (23) on the portable hydraulic tester clockwise. Record pump flow at each of the
following pressures in Table 3. Use pressure tap (19) to monitor right pump delivery pressure or
use pressure tap (20) to monitor left pump delivery pressure.

Note: Specifications for output flow rates are based on an engine speed of 2150 rpm. To attain more
accurate test results, measured flow should be corrected with the following calculation.
Table 3
Measured flow x 2150 rpm
Corrected flow

=
measured rpm

Note: Specifications for output flow rates are based on a power shift pressure at the pump of 2400 50
kPa (350 7 psi). The output flow rate changes approximately 2.4 L/min (0.63 US gpm) for each 100
kPa (14 psi) of power shift pressure in the lower range of the constant horsepower control. The output
flow rate changes approximately 1.0 L/min (0.26 US gpm) for each 100 kPa (14 psi) of power shift
pressure in the higher range of the constant horsepower control.
Note: If the output flow rate of the pump is not within the specification, disconnect the negative flow
control line from the pump that is being tested and perform the test again.
Note: Flow measurements must be done only during pressure rise.
