GROUP 4 TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
1. HYDRAULIC OIL CLEAN UP PROCEDURE USING PORTABLE FILTER CADDY
※ Service equipment and tool.
·Portable filter caddy
·Two 3658 mm (12 ft) × 1" I.D. 100R1
hoses with 3/4 M NPT ends
·Quick disconnect fittings
·Discharge wand
·Various size fittings and hoses
※ Steering system uses oil from hydraulic
oil tank. Flush all lines in the steering
system.
Disassemble and clean major compon-
ents for steering system.
Steering components may fail if steering
system is not cleaned after hydraulic oil
tank contamination.
1) If hydraulic system is contaminated due to a
major component failure, remove and dis-
assemble steering cylinders to clean debris
from cylinders.
2) Install a new return filter element. Clean fil-
ter housing before installing new element.
※ For a failure that creates a lot of debris,
remove access cover from hydraulic oil
tank. Drain and clean hydraulic oil tank of
fill the specified oil to hydraulic oil tank
through upper cover.
3) To minimize oil loss, pull a vacuum in
hydraulic oil tank using a vacuum pump.
Connect filter caddy suction line to drain
port at bottom of hydraulic oil tank using
connector. Check to be sure debris has not
closed drain port.
4) Put filter caddy discharge line into hydraulic
oil tank filter hole so end is as far away from
drain port as possible to obtain a through
cleaning of oil.

5) Start the filter caddy. Check to be sure oil
is flowing through the filters.
Operate filter caddy approximately 10 min-
utes so oil in hydraulic oil tank is circulated
through filter a minimum of four times.
※ Hydraulic oil tank capacity 95ℓ(25.0 U.S.
gal).
Leave filter caddy operating for the next
steps.
6) Start the engine and run it at high idle.
※ 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.
※ 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 hydraulic oil tank ; Add oil
if necessary.

3. STEERING SYSTEM RESTRICTION TEST
· SPECIFICATION
Oil temperature 45±5˚C (113±9˚F)
Engine speed High idle
Maximum pressure 3.0MPa (30 bar, 430psi)
at steering unit
· GAUGE AND TOOL
Gauge 0~7 MPa (0~70 bar, 0~1000 psi) 2EA
· This test will check for restrictions in the
steering system which can cause overheat-
ing of hydraulic oil.
1) Install temperature reader.
(see temperature reader installation proce-
dure in this group).
P
2) Heat hydraulic oil to specifications.
(see hydraulic oil warm up procedure at
A
page 5-27).
3) Connect fitting (A) and install gauge.
Do not operate steering or loader funct-
ions or test gauge may be damaged.
4) Run engine at specification and read pres-
sure gauges.
If pressure is more than specification at the
steering unit, inspect steering unit.

4. STEERING UNIT LEAKAGE TEST
· SPECIFICATION
Oil temperature 45±5˚C (113±9˚F)
Engine speed High idle
Maximum leakage 15ℓ/min (4 gpm)
· GAUGE AND TOOL Cap fitting
Temperature reader

Stop watch R
1) Install frame locking bar to prevent machine
from turning.
2) Install temperature reader.
(see temperature reader installation proce-
dure in this group).
3) Heat hydraulic oil to specifications.
(see hydraulic oil warm up procedure at
page 5-27).
4) Disconnect return hose from fitting.
Install cap fitting.
5) Run engine at specifications. Rotate steer-
ing wheel against locking bar using approxi-
mately 1.2 kgf·m of force.
Measure oil flow from return hose for 1 min-
ute.
6) Leakage is greater than specifications, Safety lock bar
repair or replace steering unit.

5. STEERING UNIT PRESSURE TEST
· SPECIFICATION
Oil temperature 45±5˚C (113±9˚F)
Engine speed High idle
Oil pressure 16 MPa
(160 bar, 1160 psi)
· GAUGE AND TOOL
Gauge 0~35 MPa (0~350 bar, 0~5000 psi)
Temperature reader
1) Connect gauge to test port.
2) Install temperature reader (see installation
procedure in this group). Test port
3) Install frame locking bar.
Steering cylinder
4) Heat hydraulic oil to specifications (see
hydraulic oil warm up procedure at page Relief valve
5-27).
5) Run engine at specifications and turn steer-
A
ing wheel rapidly hold approximately 22N B
(5lb force) pressure on wheel with frames
locked.
※ If steering wheel is turned slowly, it will
continue to with the frames locked.
This will give an incorrect pressure read-
ing.
If steering wheel continues to turn rapidly
with the frames locked, steering system
leakage is indicated.
6) Read pressure gauge. This is the steering
valve relief pressure.
7) If pressure in not to specification, remove
the plug (A) from steering unit. Turn adjust- Safety lock bar
ing screw (B) in relief cartridge using a hex
head wrench to adjust pressure.
If pressure cannot be adjusted to specifica-
tion, disassemble and inspect steering unit. 830KSE39
