Pump compartment
(1) Pressure tap (delivery pressure for drive pump)
(2) Pressure tap (delivery pressure for idler pump)
(3) Pressure tap (power shift pressure)
Connect a 6000 kPa (870 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (3) to monitor power shift pressure.Test Procedure
Start the engine.
Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° 5°C (131° 9°F).
Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch OFF. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test (Engine Speed)" for engine rpm settings.
Check the commanded power shift pressure on the monitor. Check the actual power shift pressure at pressure tap (3). Refer to Table 1 for the specification.
Move the joystick for the boom until the boom is at the full BOOM RAISE position (full extension of boom cylinders). Hold the joystick for the boom in this position.
Check the commanded power shift pressure on the monitor. Check the actual power shift pressure at pressure tap (3). Refer to Table 1 for the specification.
Return the joystick to the NEUTRAL position.
If the power shift pressure is not within specification, proceed to Testing and Adjusting, "Main Pump (Flow) - Test (Hydraulic Power)".
