Hydraulic Pump Flow Measurement Procedures
Work Preparations
[1] Check that the main unit is in its work posture
(arm-vertical).
[2] Bleed out the pressure. (See the details on
Bleeding pressure in the Pressure Measure-
ment and Adjustment Procedures.)
*Check the swing stop.

[3] Use a wrench (17 mm) to remove the feed port

cover.

[4] Use the bolts removed in [3] to install the

hydraulic oil tank lid (for vacuum pump).

[5] Install the vacuum pump on the hydraulic oil

tank lid.

[6] After setting the vacuum pump as in the dia-
gram on the right, switch on the power.
(If the cable is too short, use an extension
cable.)

[7] Use a hexagon wrench (8 mm) to remove the

split flange and hydraulic hose.
(This section explains flow measurement at the
P2 pump.)

9 Elbow adapter 12 Flow meter 15 Hydraulic hose

10 Adapter 13 Orifice 16 Split flange
11 Hydraulic hose (IN) 14 Hydraulic hose (OUT) 17 Adapter (flange type)

[8] Use the split flange to install the adapter (flange type) on the tip of the hydraulic hose removed in
[7].
[9] Install the adapter at the position from which the hydraulic hose was removed.
[10] When the parts are set as in the diagram above, remove the plug.
[11] Use the wrench to connect the adapter installed on the pump in [9].
[12] If necessary, install an "elbow adapter" on the (prepared) hydraulic hose connected to the flow
meter IN side.
[13] Install the hydraulic hose on the flow meter IN side, then fasten with the wrench.
[14] Install the (prepared) hydraulic hose on the flow meter OUT side, then fasten with the wrench.
* When connecting, always check the connection positions.
* Always have the orifice fully open.
[15] Install pressure gauges on P1 and P2.
(See "Main Pressure Measurement".)
[16] Remove the vacuum pump and re-install the hydraulic oil tank the same way it was.
[17] Open the engine hood.
(See "Main Pressure Adjustment".)
[18] Remove the cover.
[19] Remove the pilot hose for the pressure boost signal, then plug the hose side.
(See "Main relief pressure adjustment".)

This completes the preparation for flow measurement.

 Hydraulic Pump Flow Measurement Procedures
Flow Measurement
[1] Measure the flow.
When measuring the flow, position the workers
as in the diagram on the left.
(Worker 1: Work supervisor, pressure adjust-
ment)
(Worker 2: Operator)
(Worker 3: Flow, pressure measurement,
recording)

[2] At the signal from the work supervisor, the oper-

ator starts the engine.
[3] Check the hydraulic oil temperature on the mon-
itor. (50 ℃ )
Check that the engine rotation and pump milli-
amp is normal.
[4] The operator signals the arm-out relief opera-
tion to worker 1.

[5] Worker 2 lowers the arm-out port relief. (Min: 24

MPa P1+P2)
[6] Start of flow measurement
[7] The arm-out relief operation is carried out.
[8] Data measured in units of 2.0 MPa (P1+P2)
* The measurement is carried out from 24.0 -
76.0 MPa and ends when the maximum
pressure is reached.
[9] Remove the flow meter.
* Because from 40 MPa the pressure exceeds
the permitted value for the flow meter pres-
sure gauge maximum pressure
[10] Reset the arm-in port relief valve to normal
pressure.
(For details on this adjustment, see "Pressure
Adjustment".) 1 Worker 1
2 Worker 2
3 Worker 3
4 Ignition key
5 Wrench 17 mm
6 Hexagon wrench 6 mm

[11] Remove the pressure gauges etc. and put everything back to normal. This completes the work.
