Main Pump (Flow) - Test - Constant Horsepower Flow

Control
SMCS - 5070-081-FW
This test measures individual pump flow at the pump. Each pump is tested individually for output
flow at specified pressures. The pump that is not being tested is not under load and the pump
remains at low pressure standby.

(2) Message display
Note: Before starting main pump flow tests, check message display (2) on monitor (1) . If no
faults are present, perform the operational checks. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Operational
Checks".
Note: If the operational checks indicate that slow speed of an implement is common to the circuits
of one pump, the problem is most likely in the hydraulic system. Then perform the pump flow
tests. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Main Pump (Flow) - Test (Constant Horsepower Flow
Control)".
Note: If the operational checks indicate that slow speed of an implement is common to both pump
circuits, the problem may be in the engine, the fuel, or the working altitude.
Note: Perform the following procedures before testing the main pump flow.
• Set the pilot pressure to the specifications in Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Pilot) -
Test and Adjust" for the machine.
• Set the main relief valve to specifications. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve
(Main) - Test and Adjust" for the machine.
• Calibrate the power shift pressure. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Calibration" for the
Machine Electronic Control System.

Test
To prevent personal injury or equipment damage from failure of the

hydraulic test equipment or associated circuit components because of
blocked pump flow, make sure that the test equipment valves are fully
open before starting the engine.
To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage from failed lines

or components while the hydraulic test equipment is returned to the
open flow position, slowly open the hydraulic test equipment valve while
monitoring the pump flow.
If pump flow does not increase as the valve is opened, shut the engine
off and determine what is preventing the pump from upstroking.
1. Start the engine.
2. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

Note: Specifications for output flow rates are based on a power shift pressure at the pump of 2540
± 50 kPa (368 ± 10 psi). The output flow rate changes approximately 13.6 L/min (3.6 US gpm) for
each 100 kPa (14 psi) of power shift pressure in the upper range of the constant horsepower
control.
Note: Flow measurements must be done only during pressure rise.

4. Turn valve (26) on portable hydraulic tester (10) clockwise until the pump delivery pressure is 6850
kPa (1000 psi).
5. Record the negative flow rate in Table 1.

Note: Specifications for flow rates are based on an engine speed of 1800 rpm. To get more accurate test
results, measured flow should be corrected with the following calculation.

Note: Use the same procedure for both pumps. Use locknut (30) and adjustment screw (29) to
adjust the idler pump. Use locknut (32) and adjustment screw (31) to adjust the drive pump.
2. Turn adjustment screw (29) until the negative flow rate is adjusted to the correct
specification.
Note: A clockwise adjustment of adjustment screw (29) and adjustment screw (31)
decreases the flow rate. A counterclockwise adjustment increases the flow rate.
3. Tighten locknut (30) to a torque of 16 ± 4 N·m (12 ± 23 lb ft).
4. Adjust the drive pump. Use locknut (32) and adjustment screw (31) instead of locknut (30)
and adjustment screw (29) to adjust the drive pump.
