(1) A New specification is the performance that can be expected for a new machine. A “Rebuild” specification is the performance that can be expected after rebuilding the components of a system.
(2) Performance beyond “Service Limit” specifications is an indication of the following problems: improper adjustment, wear, damage of relief valves and damage of pumps.
