( 1 ) This sensor must be purchased separately. The sensor is not included in the 198-4240 Digital Pressure Indicator Gp
( 2 ) This sensor can only be used on large diameter pressure taps like 6V-3965 Fitting .Test Preparation
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting".Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "System Pressure Release".
Illustration 3 g03530061
Move steering frame lock to the LOCKED position.
Engage the parking brake. Move the transmission direction selector to the NEUTRAL position.
Position the machine so that the machine is pointing straight ahead.
Bumping or turning the steering wheel could cause excessive oil pressure in the hydraulic oil line that connects to the pressure gauge. The excessive oil pressure could cause damage to the pressure gauge.Do not bump or turn the steering wheel during the following steps.
Test Procedure
Illustration 4 g03448003
Steering Pump Pressure Tap. Cab Assembly removed for clarity. (2) Pressure tap for the steering pump pressure
Attach a 0 to 6000 kPa (0 to 870 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (2). Pressure tap (2) is located on the panel for the remote pressure taps that is on the right side of the machine.
Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle. Continuously stall the RACK BACK function while simultaneously raising the lift arms at full speed. When the lift arms are almost raised, cycle the tilt cylinder almost to the FULL DUMP position. Then move the tilt cylinders to the full RACK BACK position. Continuously stall the RACK BACK function and simultaneously lower the lift arms back to the ground level position. Without stalling the RACK BACK function, cycle the lift function to raise the lift arms fully. Then lower the lift arms in order to allow the pump to operate at low-pressure briefly and circulate oil through the system. Repeat this process in order to increase the temperature of the oil to normal operating temperature.
After the oil has reached normal operating temperature, position the bucket and any attachments slightly off the ground. Run the engine at high idle.
Record the pressure reading on the pressure gauge. The reading should be 3500 345 kPa (508 50 psi).
Adjust the flow compensator valve if the pressure is not correct.Note: Do not adjust the steering pump based on the results of this test. If the pressure reading is not correct, test the margin pressure. See the
