5. Thoroughly clean junction of hydraulic hose and
rightside fittingonbottomof piston(traction) pump(Fig.
38). Disconnect hose from right side pump fitting.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the oil flow indicator
arrow on the flow meter is showing that the oil will
flow from the pump, through the tester and into the
disconnected hydraulic hose.
6. Install tester with pressure gauge and flow meter in
series between piston pump fitting and disconnected
hosetoallowflowfrompistonpumptotester.Usehy-
draulichosekit(seeSpecial Toolsinthischapter) tocon-
nect tester to machine. Make sure that fitting and hose
connectionsare properlytightened.Also, makesure the
flow control valve on tester is fully open.
CAUTION
Drive wheels will be off the ground and rotating
during this test.Make sure machine is supported
soit willnot moveand accidentallyfallto prevent
injuring anyone near the machine.
7. Start engine and run at idle speed. Check for any hy-
draulic leakage from tester and hose connections. Cor-
rect any leaks before proceeding.
8. Increase engine speed to high idle speed (3000
RPM). Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating
temperature by operating the machine under load for
approximately ten (10) minutes. Make sure the hydrau-
lic reservoir is full.
9. Slowly push traction pedal to fully forward position.
Keep pedal fully depressed in the forward position dur-
ing the flow test.
10.Have second person watch pressure gauge on test-
er carefully while slowly closing the tester flow control
valve until 1000 PSI (69 bar) is obtained. Verify with the
InfoCenter Display that the engine speed is still 3000
RPM.
11.Observe flow gauge. For a piston pumpin good con-
dition, flow indication should be approximately 26 GPM
(98 LPM).
12.Openflowcontrolvalveontester,releasetraction
pedal tothe neutralposition and shut offengine. Record
test results.
13.If measured flow is less than 23GPM (87LPM),con-
sider the following:
A. The p iston (traction) pump swash plate is not be-
ingrotatedfully (e.g.traction pedallinkage mayneed
adjustment, mow speed limiter is not in the transport
position).
B. The piston (traction) pump needs to be repaired
or replaced as necessary.
C. Make necessary repairs before performing addi-
tional hydraulic tests on the traction system.
14.When testing is complete, disconnect tester and
hose kit from pump fitting and machine hydraulic hose.
Reconnect hose to pump fitting.
