Cylinder Cycle Time - Check

SMCS - 7562-535-VF

Table 1

Required Tools
A Stopwatch or Timer 1

Note: Before you perform this check, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for
Troubleshooting".

Use Table 2 in order to determine the correct cylinder cycle times. Choose the column that has the
cycle times for your Motor Grader. Record the actual cycle times in the column that is on the right
side of the table. The cycle times that are shown in Table 2 are in seconds. The number of steering
wheel rotations from the left stop to the right stop determines the steering check.

For most cylinders, a test cycle is the full range of movement. For the following cylinders, a test
cycle is movement through a 305 mm (12.0 inch) distance: blade lift cylinders, ripper cylinder and
scarifier cylinder. For the circle, a test cycle is 1/4 of 1 full rotation.

All of the checks of the implement cycle times must be performed at high idle. The hydraulic oil
must be at normal operating temperature. Ensure that the cylinder bears no additional loads. The
following causes will create additional loads: interference from other machine components, contact
with foreign objects and contact with the ground.

If any test results are unacceptable refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic and Steering System
Troubleshooting".

(1) Cycle times are for a "running distance" of 305 mm (12 inch).
(2) Cycle time is through full travel.
(3) When you check the cycle times for these cylinders, operate the machine at high idle and place the transmission
control (lever) in the FIRST SPEED position. The differential must be unlocked.

(1) Cylinder rod

(2) Marks

(3) Tape measure

(A) Running distance

1. Raise the implement that needs to be checked to the maximum height.

2. Place a mark on the rod. Place the mark just below the cylinder head. Use ink in order to
create all marks. Do not create marks by scratching or by scoring.

3. Use the stopwatch in order to determine the time that is required to lower the cylinder by 305
mm (12.0 inch). Use the tape measure in order to determine 305 mm (12.0 inch) of movement.
Use the mark as a reference.

4. Position the implement just above the ground.

5. . Place two marks on the rod. Place the marks 305 mm (12.0 inch) away from each other.

6. Use the stopwatch in order to determine the time that is required to raise the cylinder by 305
mm (12.0 inch). Use the marks for reference.
