TEST NO. 7: Checking Lift Circuit Working Pressure or Relief Pressure
WORKING Pressure Check:
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem
perature by operating machine for approximately 10
minutes.
2. Lower cutting units, engage parking brake and stop
the engine.
3. Raise seat to get access to hydraulic test fittings.
Remove access cover from in front of auxiliary pump.
4. Install a 5000 PSI gauge onto lift circuit quick discon
nect fitting. Put gauge and hose through opening below
seat in front of auxiliary pump so gauge can be observed
while sitting on seat.
5. Raise each cutting unit while monitoring gauge.
RANGE OF TESTER READINGS 300 - 1800 PSI
when counterbalance setting is 300 PSI.
NOTE: Changes in counterbalance setting will affect
the lift circuit relief pressure.
RELIEF Pressure Check:
6. With engine running at full speed, engage control
lever into the "LIFT" position.
7. Momentarily hold the lever in the engaged position
after full cylinder extension and read gauge.
TESTER READING TO BE APPROXIMATELY
1800 PSI when counterbalance setting is 300 PSI.
NOTE: Changes in counterbalance setting will affect the
lift circuit relief pressure.
