Product Overview

This manual provides detailed instructions for performing a flow test on the stack valve of a hydraulic system. Follow each step carefully to ensure accurate testing and optimal performance.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Guidelines: Step-by-step instructions for conducting a flow test on hydraulic systems.
• Essential Procedures: Detailed operations necessary before, during, and after the test.
• Safety Measures: Includes crucial safety precautions and equipment handling instructions.

Benefits

• Improved Accuracy: Ensures precise measurement of hydraulic flow and system performance.
• Enhanced System Longevity: Proper testing and maintenance extend the equipment’s lifespan.
• Optimized Efficiency: Accurate flow readings contribute to better hydraulic system efficiency.

Usage Recommendations

• Prior to conducting any tests, apply vacuum to the reservoir (A.10.A).
• Begin by disconnecting the hose from the equipment control valve’s inlet port.
• Install a tee fitting on the outlet hose of the hydraulic pump and connect it to the equipment control valve.
• Attach a hose from the tee to the Flowmeter’s inlet for accurate readings.
• Ensure the ROPS cab/canopy is lowered and secured. Refer to USER PLATFORM – Lower (E.34.A).
• Position the Flowmeter’s outlet hose securely into the reservoir’s fill port to maintain oil levels during testing.
• Set the Flowmeter’s pressure Load Valve and ensure the switches are in the correct positions.
• Run the engine at full throttle and monitor the oil temperature to meet the required 52u00b0C (125u00b0F).
• If necessary, adjust the pressure valve until the specified pressure of 103 bar (1500 psi) is achieved while maintaining engine operation.
• After completing the test, return the system to its standard operating configuration.
