Brake Pressure - Test

SMCS - 4250-081

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.

The following test will determine if the pressure of the power train oil that is delivered to the service
brakes from the brake valve is within the specified limits. Also, this test will determine whether the
oil pressure to the brakes decreases to the specified limit when the brakes are activated.

Also, the test for brake lubrication is included in this story.

Test Procedure (Remote Pressure Tap)

The following test procedure will determine if the pressure of the power train oil that is delivered
from the brake valve is within the specified limits.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location.

2. Lower all of the implements.

(1) Pressure Tap ("B")

3. Locate pressure tap (1) ("B"). This pressure tap is above the five pressure taps for the
transmission modulating valves at the rear of the machine.

4. Assemble tooling (A or B). Make sure that you use 8T-0855 Pressure Gauge (A1) .

5. Attach tooling (A or B) to pressure tap (1) ("B").

6. Start the engine. Warm the power train oil to a temperature of 84° ± 8°C (183° ± 14°F).

7. Make sure that the steering control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. Operate the engine at
HIGH IDLE.

8. Check the pressure at tooling (A1 or B). The pressure at tooling (A1 or B) should be 2550 ±
140 kPa (370 ± 20 psi).

9. Make sure that the steering control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. Operate the engine at
LOW IDLE (700 rpm).

10. Check the pressure at tooling (A1 or B). The pressure at tooling (A1 or B) should be 2350 ±
140 kPa (340 ± 20 psi).

11. The pressure at tooling (A1 or B) should be less than 70 kPa (10 psi) when the parking brake
or the service brake is engaged.

ReferenceSee Specifications, Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Pressure Charts" in

this module for additional pressure values.

Test Procedure (Right Brake)

The following test procedure will determine if the pressure of the power train oil that is delivered to
the right brake is within the specified limits.

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location.

2. Lower all of the implements.
