Group 3 Tests and Adjustments: 1. Hydraulic Oil Clean Up Procedure Using Portable Filter Caddy

1. This document provides procedures for testing and adjusting the hydraulic system on a piece of construction equipment. It details how to clean the hydraulic oil using a portable filter, test tools like tachometers and thermometers, and perform leakage and pressure tests on components like the steering cylinder and priority valve. 2. Key steps include cleaning the hydraulic reservoir and circulating the oil through a filter, installing monitoring tools to measure temperature and RPM, and conducting restriction, leakage and pressure tests on the steering system and priority valve within specified parameters. Any issues identified must be repaired or components replaced. 3. Proper testing and adjustment of the hydraulic system is important to identify restrictions or leaks that could overheat the oil or cause component failure

GROUP 3 TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

1. HYDRAULIC OIL CLEAN UP PROCEDURE USING PORTABLE FILTER CADDY


Ɠ Service equipment and tool
şPortable filter caddy
şTwo 4000mm ź 1" 100R1 Hoses
şQuick disconnect fittings
şDischarge wand
şConnectors
Ɠ Brake system and steering system use
oil from hydraulic reservoir. Flush all
lines in the brake and steering system.
Disassemble and clean major
components for brake and steering
system.
Brake and steering components may fail
if brake, steering system is not cleaned
after hydraulic reservoir contamination.

1) If hydraulic system is contaminated due to a


major component failure, remove and
disassemble steering cylinders to clean
debris from cylinders.
2) Install a new return filter element. Inspect
filter before installing new element.
Ɠ For a failure that creates a lot of debris,
remove access cover from reservoir.
Drain and clean reservoir of fill the
specified oil to reservoir through upper
cover.
3) To minimize oil loss, pull a vacuum in
reservoir using a vacuum pump. Connect
filter caddy suction line to drain port at
bottom of reservoir using connector. Check
to be sure debris has not closed drain port.
4) Put filter caddy discharge line into reservoir
filler hole so end is as far away from drain
port as possible to obtain a thorough
cleaning of oil.

5-22
5) Start the filter caddy. Check to be sure oil
is flowing through the filters.
Operate filter caddy approximately 10
minutes so oil in reservoir is circulated
through filter a minimum of four times.
Ɠ Reservoir capacity : 75ֻ(19.8U.S. gal)
Leave filter caddy operating for the next
steps.
6) Start the engine and run it at high idle.
Ɠ For the most effective results, cleaning
procedure must start with the smallest
capacity circuit then proceed to the next
largest capacity circuit.
7) Operate all functions, one at a time, through
a complete cycle in the following order:
Clam, steering, bucket, and boom. Also
include all auxiliary hydraulic functions.
Repeat procedure until the total system
capacity has circulated through filter caddy
seven times, approximately 30 minutes.
Each function must go through a minimum
of three complete cycles for a through
cleaning for oil.
Ɠ Filtering time for machines with auxiliary
hydraulic functions must be increased
because system capacity is larger.
8) Stop the engine. Remove the filter caddy.

9) Install a new return filter element.


10) Check oil level in reservoir ; Add oil if
necessary.

Gauge 0~7.0Mpa(0~70bar, 0~1000psi) 1EA

şThis test will check for restrictions in the


steering system which can cause overheating
of hydraulic oil.

temperature reader installation procedure in
this group.)
2) Heat hydraulic oil to specifications.(See
hydraulic oil warm up procedure at page
6-51.)

valve. T A
Do not operate steering or loader
functions or test gauge may be
damaged.
4) Run engine at specification and read
pressure gauges.
If pressure is more than specification at the
steering valve, inspect priority valve for a
stuck spool. Make sure orifice plugs are
installed in ends of priority valve spool.

1) Connect test fitting and gauge to CF port on


EF
priority valve. P

2) Install temperature reader.(See temperature


installation procedure in this group.)
3) Install frame locking bar. CF Port
4) Heat hydraulic oil to specifications.(See

5) Run engine at specifications and turn
steering wheel rapidly hold approximately
22N(5lb force) pressure on wheel with
frames locked.
Ɠ If steering wheel is turned slowly, it will
continue to with the frames locked.
This will give an incorrect pressure
reading.
If steering wheel continues to turn
rapidly with the frames locked, steering
system leakage is indicated.
Frame
6) Read pressure gauge. This is the priority locking bar
valve relief pressure.

elbow and connector from bottom of priority
valve. Turn adjusting screw in relief
cartridge using a hex head wrench to adjust
pressure.
If pressure cannot be adjusted to
specification, disassemble and inspect
priority valve.

LS port flow(Approx) 0.5ֻ/min(0.13gpm)
A
ş GAUGE AND TOOL
Temperature reader
Measuring container
EF
Stop watch LS
P
Priority valve LS port flow test will check for a
plugged or missing orifice in the bottom of
the priority valve spool. A plugged orifice
will block warm up flow to the steering valve
which can cause thermal shock.(See for an B
explanation of thermal shock.)

A missing orifice can cause the pump to be


loaded to high pressure at all times causing
overheating.

1) Install temperature reader.(See


temperature reader installation procedure in
this group.)
2) Heat hydraulic oil to specifications.(See
hydraulic oil warm up procedure at page
6-51.)
3) Disconnect line from LS port and install
plug(A).
4) Connect line(B) to priority valve.
5) Start engine and run at specification.
6) Measure flow from LS port for 1 minute.
If flow is low, low steering system neutral
pressure or a plugged orifice in bottom
priority valve spool is indicated.
If flow is high, remove priority valve spool
and inspect for a missing orifice.
Do hydraulic system restriction test in this
group.
