TM 5-3805-260-24
Test 40:
Flow rate of pump and unloading
valve.
Test 17:
Flow rate of pump, control valve and
unloading valve.
The components tested in Tests 40 and 17 are
the same except for the control valve. The difference in
the flow rates must be caused by leakage in the control
valve.
Make a comparison of all the test data with the
data on Chart D for the machine under test. The
information on Chart D is for best circuit performance.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM: Leakage rates for Tests 34, 35, 36, 37,
and 38 are more than the rates shown in
Chart D.
PROBABLE REASON:
Leakage in the pressure relief valve.
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION:
Inspect pressure relief valve.
PROBLEM: Tests 34 and 35 give an indication of
leakage in the ejector circuit.
PROBABLE REASON:
A. Leakage in the ejector cylinders.
B. Leakage in the floor cylinder.
C. Leakage in the floor check valve (ejector
check valve).
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION:
Do Tests 43 and 44 for the ejector circuit.
PROBLEM: Tests 36 and 37 give an indication of
leakage in the bowl circuit.
PROBABLE REASON:
A. Leakage in only one of the cylinders and
check valve.
B. Leakage in both cylinders and check valve.
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION:
Do Tests 45 and 46 for the bowl circuit.
PROBLEM: Motor leakage rate in Tests 38, 39 and 40
is
more
than
shown
in
Chart
D.
PROBABLE REASON:
Leakage in the motor.
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION:
Disassemble and inspect the elevator motor.
Make a repair or install new parts as necessary.
PROBLEM: Leakage rate in Test 40 is more than
shown in Chart D.
PROBABLE REASON:
Damage in the control valve.
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION:
Disassemble and inspect the control valve.
Make a repair or install new parts as necessary.
PROBLEM: Leakage rate for Tests 34, 35, 36 and 37
are more than shown in Chart D.
PROBABLE REASON:
Leakage in the pressure relief valve.
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION:
Inspect pressure relief valve.
BLOCKED COMPONENT TESTS (CHART E)
If the Blocked Circuit Tests give an indication of
leakage that is too high in cylinders, valves, or motor, do
the Blocked Component Tests. For best accuracy,
operate all controls through several cycles to get the
temperature of oil in the cylinders the same as the
temperature of the oil in the hydraulic tank. Make the
temperature of the oil in the complete system 150° F.
WARNING: Lower all implements to the
ground. Stop the engine. Move the control
levers through OPERATE and HOLD posi-
tions to release any pressure oil in the
hydraulic lines. All pressure in the lines must be
released to prevent injury to personnel and damage to
equipment when the lines are loosened. To loosen the
lines with pressure oil in them can cause the implement
to move and/or pressure oil to be released. Open the
filler cap for the hydraulic tank to release any tank
pressure. Close the cap.
Tee locations are not the same for all tests. At
the beginning of each test, tee locations and blocking
locations are explained. See the schematics and
illustrations for the specific machine being tested.
