OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF A WORK- ING MACHINE With the passage of time, the machine's oper- ational performance deteriorates, so that the machine needs to be serviced periosically to re- store itt its original performance level. Before servicing the machine, conduct perfor- mance tests to check the extent of deteriora- tion, and to decide what kind of service needs to be done (by referring to the “Allowable Lim- its” in this manual). Working condtions 3, OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF A REPAIRED MACHINE After the machine is repaired or serviced, it must be tested to confirm that its operational performance was restored by the repair andjor service work done. TERMINOLOGY 1. ‘STANDARD® Specifications applied to the brand-new ma- chine, components and parts. 2. “ALLOWABLE LIMIT" The lowest acceptable performance level. When the performance level of the machine falls be- low this level, the machine must be removed from work and repaired. Necessary parts and components must be replaced, T06-01-01OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST / Introduction PREPARATION FOR PERFORMANCE TESTS Observe the following rules in order to carry out performance tests accurately and safely. 1. THE MACHINE Repair any defects and damage found, such as oil or water leaks, loose bolts, cracks and so on, before starting to test. 2. TEST AREA (1) Select a hard, flat surface. (2) Secure enough space to allow the machine to run straight more than 20 m (65 ft 7 inch), and to make a full swing with the front at- tachment extended, (9) trequired, rope off the test area and provide signboards to keep unauthorized personnel srosonovas away. 3. PRECAUTIONS (1) Before starting to test, agree upon the sig- nals to be employed for communication among coworkers. Once the test is started, be sure to communicate with each other us- ing these signals, and to follow them without fall. (2) Operate the machine carefully and always give first priority to safety. (3) While testing, always take care to avoid acci- dents due to landslides or contact with high: voltage power lines. Always confirm that there is sufficient space for full swings. (4) Avoid polluting the machine and the ground with leaking oil. Use oil pans to catch note escaping oil. Pay special attention to this ‘when removing hydraulic pipings. 4. MAKE PRECISE MEASUREMENTS (1) Accurately calibrate test instruments in ad- vance to obtain correct data (2) Carry out tests under the exact test condi- tions prescribed for each test item. (8) Repeat the same test and confirm that the test data obtained can be procured repeatedly. Use mean values of measurements if necessary. T06-01-02OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST / Engine Test 2.1 ENGINE SPEED Measure the engine speed at each power mode (recommended testing equipment: Dr. EX) NOTE: The engine speed at each power mode must meet standard engine speed; if not, all other operational performance data will be unreliable, Itis essential to perform this test frst Preparation: (1) Warm up the machine, until the engine coolant temperature reaches 50°C (122°F) or more, and the hydraulic oil is SO°+5°C (12°F +9°F), (2) Push the P-mode switch and confirm that the fuel injection pump governor lever (2) comes into con- tact with the fast-idle stopper (1). NOTE: Never adjust stopper (1). (3) Connect Dr. EX to the diagnosing connector of the PVC, located behind the operator's seat, to obtain realtime engine speed data. (4) If Dr. EX is not available, connect engine tachome- ter (1) to fuel injection pipe (2). T06-02-01OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST / Engine Test Measurement: (1) Start the engine. The engine will run at start idle speed. Measure engine speed with Dr. EX (or a tachometer). (2) Press work mode selector switch (2) to the gener- al purpose mode, and tum off auto-idle switch (3), (3) Measure and record the engine speed at each power mode (1) (P, E, L,I). (4) Next, push auto-idle switch (8) ON, and select the P.mode. (8) Lightly operate the bucket control lever a few times, then return the control lever to neutral; the engine will automatically enter the auto-idle speed after 4 seconds. (6) Measure and record the auto-idle speed, Evaluation: Refer to Group -06 in this section, Remedy: Refer to T07-03 TROUBLESHOOTING B.
