Transmission Lubrication Oil Pressure - Test

SMCS - 3030-081-PX; 3080-032-PX; 3080-081-PX

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this

machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on
the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the
hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or
hydraulic component.
Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the
hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the
attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders
must be supported properly.
Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair
of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Introduction

The following test will determine whether the pressure of the transmission lubrication oil is at the
specified limit. This oil is delivered from the power train oil cooler to the lubrication distribution
manifold.

Test Procedure
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location.
2. Lower all of the implements.

3. Locate pressure tap (1) ("L1") on the machine. Pressure tap (1) ("L1") is located above the five
pressure taps for the transmission at the rear of the machine.

4. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (1) ("L1").

5. Start the engine. Warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum temperature of 84 8C (183 14
F).
6. Operate the engine at HIGH IDLE. Make sure that the steering control lever is in the
NEUTRAL position.

7. Check the pressure at tooling (A) . The pressure at tooling (A) should be 210 70 kPa (30
10 psi).
8. Operate the engine at LOW IDLE (700 rpm). Make sure that the steering control lever is in the
NEUTRAL position.
9. Check the pressure at tooling (A) . The pressure at tooling (A) should be 14 + 14 - 10 kPa (2 +
2 - 1.5 psi).
Reference: See Specifications, Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Pressure Charts"
in this module for additional pressure values.
