Testing And Adjusting
Introduction
Reference: For Specifications with illustrations, make reference to the Specifications For 988B
Loader Hydraulic System, Form No. SENR2632. If the Specifications given in Form SENR2632 are
not the same as given in the Systems Operation and the Testing and Adjusting, look at the printing
date on the back cover of each book. Use the Specifications given in the book with the latest date.
NOTE: A "C" in the left margin is an indication of a change from the former issue.
Hydraulic System
Hydraulic oil, under pressures that can be higher than 34 500 kPa (5000
psi) can remain in the hydraulic system on this machine after the engine
and pump have been stopped. Sudden movement of the machine or
release of oil under pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the
machine. To prevent possible injury, do the procedure that follows
before testing and adjusting the hydraulic system:
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and
personnel. Stop the engine.

988B Wheel Loader 50W06041-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408 Engine(SEBP13... Page 2 of 24
2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel either away from the machine or
in view of the operator.
3. Activate the parking brake. With the engine running, lower the bucket to the ground. When the
bucket is raised for tests or adjustments, be sure that the bucket has correct support and the bucket is
in the FULL DUMP position. The lift circuit has high oil pressure when the lift arms raise the front of
the machine. Do Not Stop The Engine with the front of the machine off of the ground.
4. Install the anti-pivot link.
5. Make sure all hydraulic pressure is released before any fitting, hose or component is loosened,
tightened, removed or adjusted.
6. Move the lift control lever to FLOAT position.
7. Shut off the engine.
8. Move the lift control lever to the HOLD position.
9. Carefully loosen the filler cap on the hydraulic tank to release the pressure.
10. Carefully loosen bleed screws (1) at the rear of the tilt cylinders. When the oil from the bleed
screws stops, tighten the two screws.
Rear Of Tilt Cylinders

(1) Bleed screws.
11. Tighten the filler cap on the hydraulic tank.
12. The pressure in the system has now been released and lines or components can be removed.
During a diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember that correct oil flow and pressure are necessary
for correct operation. The output of the pump (oil flow) increases with an increase in engine speed
(rpm) and decreases when engine speed (rpm) is decreased. Oil pressure is caused by resistance to the
flow of oil.
Visual checks and measurements are the first step when troubleshooting a possible problem. Then do
the Operation Checks and last the Instrument Tests.
Use the 5S5123 and 6V4161 Hydraulic Test Groups, a stop watch, a magnet, a thermometer and a
mm (inch) ruler for basic tests to measure:
1. The pressure of the oil to open the relief valves for the main and pilot systems and the relief
valves for the tilt circuits. Relief valve pressures that are too low will cause a decrease in the lift
and the dig characteristics of the machine. Pressures that are too high will cause a decrease in
the lift of hoses and components.
2. Drift rates in the lift and tilt circuits: Circuit drift is caused by a leakage past cylinder pistons,
O-ring seals in the control valves, check valves or make-up valves that do not seat correctly or
poor adjustment or fit in the control valves.
3. Cycle times in the lift and tilt circuits: Cycle times that are longer than those shown are the
result of leakage, pump wear and/or pump speed (rpm).
If the basic tests give an indication of circuit leakage, install a Flow Meter and do a system test. This
procedure will find the source of the leakage.
Relief valves in the tilt circuits give protection to the components from pressures in the circuits when
the tilt control valve is in the HOLD position.
Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the hydraulic system and its components is the first step when a diagnosis of a
problem is made. Stop the engine, lower the bucket to the ground. To remove the tank filler cap,
slowly turn the filler cap until it is loose. If oil comes out the bleed hole, let the tank pressure lower
before the filler cap is removed. Make the following inspections:
1. Measure the oil level.
2. Look for air in the oil that is in the tank. Do this immediately after the machine is stopped. Use a
clear bottle or container to get a sample of the oil. Look for air bubbles in the oil that is in the bottle.
3. Remove the filter elements and look for particles removed from the oil by the filter elements. A
magnet will separate ferrous particles from nonferrous particles (piston rings, O-ring seals, etc.).
4. Inspect all oil lines and connections for damage or leaks.
5. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken or damaged components.
Pump Efficiency Check

For any pump test, the pump flow, measured in U.S. liter/min (gpm) at 690 kPa (100 psi) will be
larger than the pump flow at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) at the same rpm. The difference between the pump
flow of two operating pressures is the flow loss.
Flow loss when expressed as a percent of pump flow is used as a measure of pump performance.
If the percent of flow loss is more than 10%, pump performance is not good enough.
*
Numbers in examples are for illustration are not values for any specific pump or pump condition. See
Specifications For 988B Wheel Loader Hydraulic System, Form No. SENR2632, for pump flow of a
new pump at 100 psi and 1000 psi.
Test On The Machine

Install a Flow Meter. Run the engine at high idle. Measure the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi) and at
6900 kPa (1000 psi). Use these values in Formula I.
Test On The Bench

If the test bench can be run at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) and at full pump rpm, find the percent of flow loss
using Formula I.
If the test bench can not be run at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) at full pump rpm, run the pump shaft at 1000
rpm. Measure the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi) and at 6900 kPa (1000 psi). Use these values in the
top part of Formula II. For the bottom part of the formula, run the pump shaft at 2000 rpm. Measure
the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi).
Operation Checks
The operation checks can be used to find leakage in the system. They can also be used to find a bad
valve or pump. The speed of rod movement when the cylinders move can be used to check the
condition of the cylinders and the pump.
Lift, lower, dump and tilt back the bucket several times.
1. Watch the cylinders as they are extended and retracted. Movement must be smooth and regular.
2. Listen for noise from the pump.
3. Listen for the sound of relief valves. They must not open except when the cylinders are fully
extended or retracted, when the bucket is empty.
4. Watch the operation of the bucket positioner and lift kickouts.
The lift control lever has detents in the RAISE and FLOAT positions.
The tilt control lever has a detent in the TILT BACK position (only when the bucket is between full
dump and the bucket angle to dig).
Lift And Tilt Cylinder Drift Tests

The drift rates will change with different conditions of the hydraulic components as well as with the
operation, the type of bucket (empty or loaded), hydraulic oil temperature, etc.
The values shown are for an empty bucket. Before measuring drift on the cylinder rod, the cylinders
must be extended at least five times. Check the oil temperature.
To check the lift circuit, lift the bucket to maximum height and move the control lever to the HOLD
position. Measure the distance (and check the time) that the cylinders retract, with the chart.
NOTE: The drift distances in the charts are for new machines.
To check the tilt circuit, lift the bucket to maximum height, and move the lift control lever to the
HOLD position. Activate the tilt circuit until the bucket is at the angle to dig (almost level) and move
the tilt control lever to the HOLD position. Measure the distance (and check the time) that the
cylinder retracts, with the chart.
If the cylinder drift is too much:
1. Check the make-up valves in the control valve sections.
2. Check the condition of the valve stems in the control valve sections.
3. Check the piston seals in the cylinders.
Lift And Tilt Circuit Travel Times

Start and run the engine at high idle rpm. Lift and lower the lift arms again and again to get an
increase in the temperature of the hydraulic oil. The temperature of the hydraulic oil must be more
than 37°C (100°F).
Use a stop watch or timer to measure the time for the lift arms to lift and lower, and to measure the
time for the bucket to tilt in either direction.
With the empty bucket on the ground and the engine at high idle rpm, move the lift control lever into
the detent for RAISE position. The time for the lift arms to get to the top of the travel (lift kickout) is
9 to 9.5 seconds. The time for the lift arms to go from LIFT KICKOUT position, with the control
lever held in the LOWER position, to the ground is 7.5 to 8 seconds.
Raise the bucket until the lift arms are parallel to the ground. Move the bucket to the DUMP position.
With the engine at high idle rpm, move and hold the lever in the TILT BACK position. The time for
the bucket to get to tilt back is 4.5 to 5.5 seconds. The time for the bucket to go from tilt back, with
the control lever held in the DUMP position, to dump is 4 to 4.5 seconds.
If the travel times are not correct:
1. Check the pump efficiency.
2. Check the setting of the relief valves.
3. Check the make-up valves in the control valve sections.
4. Check the valve stems in the control valve sections.
5. Check the piston seals in the cylinders.
Remove Air From The Hydraulic System
Air must be removed from the loader hydraulic system to prevent a

movement in the hydraulic cylinders whenever the engine is stopped. Be
sure that other personnel are not near the machine when this procedure
is done.
When a hydraulic tank is filled after it has been drained or a pilot line is loosened or removed, air can
enter (get into) the pilot system. Air in the pilot system does not always go into the main system and
out through the relief valve on top of the tank. So, if the engine stops, or is stopped by the operator,
there can be enough air pressure in the pilot system to move the control valve and cause the bucket to
fall.
If a loader has this problem, air must be removed from the hydraulic system as follows:
1. Start the engine and operate at high idle.
2. Put lever in full LOWER position, to lower bucket and raise the front wheels off the ground. This
will cause the relief valve to open. Put lever in FLOAT position. When the wheels are on the ground,
repeat this step six times.
3. Put the lever in RAISE position until bucket is about 300 mm (12 in) off the ground. Stop the
engine.
4. If the bucket does not move toward the ground more than 13 mm (.5 in), go to Step 5. If the bucket
moves more than 13 mm (.5 in), do Steps 2 and 3 again
5. Start the engine and operate it at high idle. Lift the bucket all the way up until the kickout stops the
movement. Decrease engine rpm to low idle and put lever in FLOAT position. Stop the bucket when
it is about 300 mm (12 in) off the ground. When the machine stops bouncing (up and down
movement), stop the engine.
6. If the bucket does not move down more than 13 mm (.5 in), do the last check (Step 7). If the bucket
falls, do Step 2 again, and then Steps 5 and 6.
7. Start and operate the engine at high idle. Put lever in full LOWER position, to lower and raise the
front wheels off the ground. This will cause the relief valve to open. Move lever to HOLD position
and stop engine. After 10 seconds, start the engine and operate it at low idle. If the wheels move
toward the ground, air is still in the system and Steps 1 through 7 must be repeated.
NOTE: If it is difficult to remove the air, check to see if air can get into the vent lines.
Pressure Test Of Pilot System
Make reference to WARNING on first page of Loader Hydraulic

System Testing And Adjusting section.
1. Move the control levers to all positions to release any pressure in the pilot system.
2. Carefully loosen the tank filler cap to release any pressure in the tank. Tighten the cap.
3. Remove the arm rest and plate from the operators compartment. Install the correct fittings, hose and
pressure gauge in the pressure tap located on the bottom left side of the pilot valve.
Operator's Compartment (Plate and armrest removed and test equipment installed)
4. Start the engine. Run the engine at low idle rpm. Move the lift and tilt control levers to all
positions. The pressure reading must be 2250 + 170 - 0 kPa (325 + 25 - 0 psi). Run the engine at high
idle.
5. Move the lift and tilt control levers, on the pilot valves, to all positions. The pressure must remain
the same in all positions.
Location Of Pressure Tap For Pilot System Pressure
6. Add shims to increase or remove shims to decrease the pressure setting of the relief valve.
7. Remove the test gauge and install the plug. Install the inspection cover.
NOTE: Do not remove the pressure gauge if the setting of the pressure reducing valve is to be
checked.
Pressure Test Of The Pressure Reducing Valve
Pressure Reducing Valve

(1) Adjustment screw. (2) Jam nut.
1. Do Steps 1 thru 6 of Pressure Test Of Pilot System.
2. Start the engine. Raise the lift arms to their maximum height.
988B Wheel Loader 50W06041-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3408 Engine(SEBP... Page 10 of 24
3. Stop the engine. Look at the pressure gauge. Pressure should be 2800 ± 200 kPa (405 ± 30 psi).
Lower the lift arms to the ground.
4. If necessary, turn adjustment screw (1) clockwise to increase the pressure setting. Tighten jam nut
(2).
5. After the adjustment of the pressure reducing valve is correct, operate the machine and carefully
check the operation of all hydraulic circuits.
Relief Valves
Make reference to WARNING on first page of Hydraulic System

Testing And Adjusting section. Use high pressure testing equipment
only. Pressure can be more than 34 500 kPa (5000 psi).
Main Relief Valve
1. Lower the bucket so it is on the ground and can not be tilted. Remove the cover, over the control
valve, from the front of the loader frame.
Control Valve
(1) Main relief valve. (2) Plug.
2. Remove plug (2) and install a 2P1314 Connector in the hole where plug (2) was removed. Install a
7S8716 Pressure Gauge [50 000 kPa (7500 psi)] and a 6V3061 Hose Assembly on the connector.
3. Start the engine and raise the lift arms to the top of their travel. Tilt the bucket back completely.
Main Relief Valve

(3) Shims. (4) Plug.
4. Increase the engine speed to high idle rpm. Look at the test gauge and move the tilt control lever to
the TILT BACK position. Check the high reading on the gauge. Do not keep the tilt control lever in
the TILT BACK position, at the relief setting, for more than 5 seconds. The correct pressure setting
for the main relief valve is approximately 20 700 kPa (3000 psi).
NOTE: On machines equipped with an attachment hydraulic system, the correct pressure setting for
the main relief valve is 22 420 + 345 - 0 kPa (3250 + 50 - 0 psi).
Use only the TILT BACK circuit to check the pressure setting of the
main relief valve during service work on the valve. When the relief
valve is first assembled, it is possible to have complete compression of
the spring to a solid condition so the valve can not release pressure. If
this condition is present, the tilt relief valve in the TILT BACK circuit
will give protection against very high pressures which can cause damage
or possible injury. With the engine at high idle rpm, the relief pressure
for the TILT BACK circuit is higher than main relief pressure.
5. If a pressure change is needed, lower the bucket to the ground and stop the engine. Remove plug
(4) from the main relief valve. Add shims (3) to increase pressure or remove shims to decrease the
pressure setting of the valve. The torque for plug (4) is 110 ± 7 N·m (80 ± 5 lb ft).
6. Remove the test gauge. Install plug (2) at the main relief valve and install the cover on the front of
the loader frame.
NOTE: If the relief valve for the rod end or head end circuit for the tilt cylinders is to be tested, do
not install the cover.
Tilt Circuit Relief Valve (Rod Ends)

Testing And Adjusting section.
1. Loosen bleed screw (1) to release any oil pressure in the rod end circuit. Remove plug (2) after all
of the oil pressure has been released. Install the 2P1314 Connector where the plug was removed.
Install the 7S8716 Pressure Gauge [50 000 kPa (7300 psi)] and the 6V3081 Hose Assembly in the
connector.
2. Start the engine and lift the lift arms until the arms are parallel with the ground, then dump the
bucket as far as it can go.
3. Increase engine speed to high idle rpm. Look at the test gauge and move the lift control lever to the
RAISE position. The high reading on the test gauge is the pressure setting of the relief valve. The high
reading on the test gauge must be 14 500 ± 345 kPa (2100 ± 50 psi).
4. If it is necessary to change the pressure setting of the relief valve, lower the bucket to the ground
and stop the engine.
5. If there is an indication of pressure on the test gauge, loosen bleed screw (1) to release the pressure
from the circuit.
Rod End Tilt Circuit Oil Lines

(1) Bleed screw in rod end circuit. (2) Plug in rod and circuit.
6. Remove cap (3) from the relief valve. A pilot valve, a spring and shims can fall when the cap is
removed. Add shims to increase or remove shims to decrease the pressure setting of the relief valve.
Be sure the pilot valve, the spring and the shims are in cap (3) when they are installed. The torque for
the cap is 100 ± 7 N·m (75 ± 5 lb ft).
Control Valve
(3) Cap (on relief valve for rod ends of tilt circuit).
7. Remove the test gauge, install plug (2) and install the cover on the front of the loader frame.
NOTE: If a test is to be made for the relief valve for the head end of the tilt cylinder, do not install the
cover over the control valve.
Tilt Circuit Relief Valve (Head Ends)

Head End Tilt Circuit Oil Lines

(1) Plug in head end circuit. (2) Bleed screw in head end circuit. (3) Hose assemblies to head ends of tilt cylinders.
The relief valve for the head end circuit of the tilt cylinders has a higher pressure setting than the main
relief valve. Because of this high pressure setting an 3S6224 Electric Hydraulic Pump is used to test
the relief valve.
1. Stop the engine. Loosen, but do not remove, bleed screw (2) to release the pressure of the oil in the
lines to the head ends of the tilt cylinders.
2. After the oil stops draining out of loosened bleed screw (2), remove plug (1). Install a 6V3965
Valved Nipple where plug (1) was removed. Use a 6V4143 Coupler to connect the 6V3081 Hose to
the valved nipple.
3. Install a 2D7325 Tee (9), 7S8716 Pressure Gauge (4) with the necessary fittings to the hose
assembly and the hose from the 3S6224 Electric Hydraulic Pump.
Typical Gauge And Fittings

(4) 7S8716 Pressure Gauge. (5) 1P2375 Coupler. (6) 3P1823 Adapter. (7) 6V3989 Nipple. (8) 6V4144 Coupler. (9)
2D7325 Tee. (10) 6V3966 Nipple.
4. Disconnect hose assemblies (3) to the head ends of the tilt cylinders and install 9H4490 Plugs
(rubber) in the lines to keep the inside of the lines clean.
5. Install 5H4019 Covers, with 4F7391 O-Rings, on the junction blocks where the lines were
disconnected.
Typical Relief Valve Test
6. Look at the test gauge and operate the electric hydraulic pump. The gauge reading must be 21 730
± 345 kPa (3150 ± 50 psi).
NOTE: On machines equipped with an attachment hydraulic system, the gauge reading must be 27
500 ± 520 kPa (4000 ± 75 psi).
Control Valve
(11) Cap (on relief valve for head ends of tilt cylinders).
7. If the relief valve needs an adjustment, its location is in the control valve section for tilt and is in
the back side of the valve section. Remove cap (11) from the relief valve. The pilot valve, spring and
shims can fall when the cap is removed. Either add to the shims in the cap to increase or remove
shims to decrease the pressure setting of the relief valve. Be sure the parts (cap, shims, spring and
pilot valve) are clean when they are installed in the valve body. Torque for the cap is 100 ± 7 N·m (75
± 5 lb ft)
NOTE: The relief valve pressure setting for the head end of the tilt cylinder is 21 730 ± 345 kPa
(3150 ± 50 psi) with an oil flow of 38 ± 4 liter/min (10 ± 1 U.S. gpm). The pressure setting on
machines with an attachment hydraulic system is 27 500 ± 520 kPa (4000 ± 75 psi) with an oil flow of
38 ± 4 liter/min (10 ± 1 U.S. gpm).
8. Remove the test equipment, install plug (1), remove the covers from the junctions blocks and
connect hose assemblies (3). Install the cover over the control valve on the front of the loader frame.
Clamp Circuit Relief Valve For Rod Ends (Attachment)

1. Install the 7S8716 Pressure Gauge in the opening where plug (1) was removed. See Main Relief
Valve, for pressure gauge installation.
2. Start the engine and lift the lift arms until the arms are parallel with the ground, then move the
clamp until it is almost open.
Typical Control Valve

(1) Plug. (2) Cap (on relief valves for rod ends of clamp circuit).
3. Increase engine speed to high idle rpm. Look at the test gauge and hold the clamp control lever in
the OPEN (release) position. The high reading on the test gauge is the pressure setting for the relief
valve for the rod ends of the clamp cylinders (do not keep the clamp control lever in the OPEN
position, at relief valve pressure, more than 5 seconds). The high reading on the test gauge must be 14
500 ± 345 kPa (2100 ± 50 psi).
4. If it is necessary to change the pressure setting of the relief valve for the rod ends of the clamp
cylinders, lower the forks to the ground, close the clamp and stop the engine.
5. Loosen but do not disconnect hose connections to the rod end at each clamp cylinder to release the
pressure of the oil in the circuit. Tighten the hose connections after the oil pressure has been released.
6. Remove cap (2) from the relief valve. A pilot valve, a spring and shims can fall when the cap is
removed. Add shims to increase or remove shims to decrease the pressure setting of the relief valve.
Be sure the pilot valve, the spring and the shims are in cap (2) when they are installed. The torque for
the cap is 100 ± 7 N·m (75 ± 5 lb ft).
NOTE: The pressure settings for the valves on a bench test is 14 500 ± 345 kPa (2100 ± 50 psi) with
an oil flow of 38 ± 4 liter/min (10 ± 1 U.S. gpm).
7. Remove the test gauge, install plug (1) and install the cover on the front of the loader frame.
NOTE: Do not remove the test gauge or install the cover if it is necessary to test the pressure setting
of the relief valve for the head ends circuit of the clamp cylinders.
Clamp Circuit Relief Valve For Head Ends (Attachment)

1. Install the 7S8716 Pressure Gauge in the opening where plug (1) was removed. See Main Relief
Valve, for pressure gauge installation.
2. Start the engine and move the clamp until it is closed.
3. Increase engine speed to high idle rpm. Look at the test gauge and hold the clamp control lever in
the CLOSE (clamp) position (do not keep the clamp control lever in CLOSE position, at relief valve
pressure, more than 5 seconds). The high reading on the test gauge must be 14 500 kPa (2100 psi).
4. If it is necessary to change the pressure setting of the relief valve for the head ends of the clamp,
lower the forks to the ground and stop the engine.
5. Loosen but do not disconnect hose connections to the head end of each clamp cylinder to release
the pressure of the oil in the circuit. Tighten the hose connections after the oil pressure is released.
6. The relief valve is in the back side of the control valve in the other end of the clamp valve section.
Remove the cap on the relief valve. A pilot valve, a spring and shims can fall when the cap is
removed.
7. Add shims to increase or remove shims to decrease the pressure setting of the relief valve. Be sure
the shims, the spring and the pilot valve are in the cap when it is installed. Torque for the cap is 100 ±
7 N·m (75 ± 5 lb ft).
NOTE: The pressure setting for the valve on a bench test is 14 500 ± 345 kPa (2100 ± 50 psi) with an
oil flow of 38 ± 4 liter/min (10 ± 1 U.S. gpm).
8. Remove the test equipment and install plug (1).
Hydraulic Oil Temperature (Too Hot)

When the temperature of the hydraulic oil gets over 98.8°C (210°F), polyurethane seals in the system
start to fail. High oil temperature causes seal failure to become more rapid. There are many reasons
why the temperature of the oil will get this hot.
1. Hydraulic pump is badly worn.

2. Heavy hydraulic loads that cause the relief valve to open.
3. The setting on the relief valve is too low.
4. Too many restrictions in the system.
5. Hydraulic oil level in the tank is too low.
6. High pressure oil leak in one or more circuits.
7. Very dirty oil.
8. Air flow through the oil cooler core is too low.
9. Oil flow through the oil cooler is too low.
10. Air in the hydraulic oil.
NOTE: If the problem is because of air in the oil, it must be corrected before the system will operate
at normal temperatures. There are two things that cause air in the oil (aeration).
a. Return oil to the tank goes in above the level of the oil in the tank.
b. Air leaks in the oil suction line between the pump and the tank.
Adjustment Of Lift And Tilt Hydraulic Control Levers
Use caution to avoid possible personal injury when adjusting the bucket
positioner and lift kickout. Apply the Parking/Secondary brake and
block the tires to prevent sudden movement of the machine. Keep
personnel off the machine. Clear the area when working under or
around the bucket linkage. With the bucket raised, proper support
must be provided for the bucket and/or the linkage.
Control Lever Adjustment

(1) End (on valve stem of pilot control valve). (2) Locknut. (3) Washer. (4) Rod. (5) Balljoint (on control lever). (6)
Control lever (either lift or tilt). (7) Washer. (8) Locknut. (9) Detents. (10) Detent roller. (11) End (on solenoid). (12)
Solenoid. (A) Raise and Tilt Back. (B) Float.
1. Be sure the lift kickout and bucket positioner are correctly located. See sections, Lift Kickout
Adjustment Procedure and Bucket Positioner Adjustment Procedure.
2. Adjust the length of each rod (4) in end (1) and balljoint (5) on each control lever (6) as follows:
NOTE: Make the adjustment so detent roller (10) will keep the lift control lever (6) and the control
valve stem in the RAISE and in the FLOAT positions with full travel of the valve spool in either
direction.
NOTE: The detent roller for the tilt control lever must hold the lever and the control valve stem in
only the TILT BACK position, with full travel of the valve spool in either direction.
a. Move lift control lever (6) to let detent roller (10) keep it in the RAISE position. The detent roller
must keep the tilt control lever in the TILT BACK position.
b. Turn locknut (2) on rod (4) for the lift control until the nut is just against washer (3), then turn the
locknut three more turns against the washer. Do the same for locknut (2) for the tilt control.
c. Move lift control lever (6) so detent roller (10) keeps the lever in the FLOAT position. Turn locknut
(8) on rod (4) until the nut is just against washer (7), then turn the locknut three more turns against the
washer.
3. Raise the bucket as high as it will go and tilt it back to the limit of its travel. This is to make sure
that kickout solenoids (12) will be energized (have electrical power to pull the solenoid plunger in)
when the key switch is on. Use blocks or jack stands to support the lift arms and bucket in this
position.
4. Be sure the key switch is ON to engage the kickout solenoids. Each solenoid plunger should be
pulled into its solenoid body. Measure the distance between the top of the solenoid plunger and the
solenoid mounting surface, distance X.
5. Turn the key switch off to remove the electrical power from the solenoids.
6. Move the lift control lever to the RAISE detent position. Move the tilt control lever (6) toe TILT
BACK detent position. The roller should be in the detent.
7. Distance Y is the distance from the top of the extended solenoid plunger to the solenoid mounting
surface. Measure distance with all slack removed from the linkage. It must equal distance X + 13 mm
(.50 in). If not, loosen the locknut on the solenoid plunger rod and turn the solenoid plunger on the
threaded rod until distance Y is correct.
8. Turn the key switch on to energize the kickout solenoids. The solenoid plungers must be pulled in
and the lift and tilt control levers must release from the detent position.
9. Repeat Steps 7,8 and 10 several times to check the operation of the kickout solenoids.
10. Repeat Steps 7,8 and 9 to check dimension Y.
11. Tighten the locknut on the solenoid plunger rod.
Lift Kickout Adjustment Procedure
Lower Right Side Of Loader Frame

(1) Bracket. (2) Magnet assembly. (3) Bolts (two). (4) Bolts (three).
1. With the engine running, raise the bucket (lift arms) to as high as it will go. Then move the lift
control lever to the HOLD position.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the electric (key) switch OFF, loosen three bolts (4) in bracket (1). Move magnet assembly (2)
[and bracket (1)] down away from switch assembly (5).
NOTE: If necessary, loosen two bolts (3) and move magnet assembly (2) so that the center of the
magnet assembly is in alignment with the center of switch assembly (5).
4. Move the electric (key) switch to the ON position and move the lift control lever until the detent
roller will keep the lever in the RAISE position.
5. Move magnet assembly (2) toward the switch assembly until the lift control lever moves to the
HOLD position. Tighten bolts (4).
6. Start and run the engine. The lift kickout must move the lift control lever from the RAISE position
to the HOLD position just before the lift arm assembly gets to the top of its travel.
7. If the kickout is too soon, move magnet assembly (2) down away from switch assembly (5). If the
kickout is not soon enough (lift arms hit the top of their travel), move the magnet assembly up toward
the switch assembly.
Upper Right Side Of Loader Frame

(5) Switch assembly.
8. Adjust switch assembly (5) as needed to get a clearance between magnet assembly (2) and switch
assembly (5) of 6 to 10 mm (.24 to .39 in).
Bucket Positioner Adjustment Procedure
Right Tilt Cylinder

(1) Switch assembly. (2) Cover. (3) Tube assembly. (4) Magnet assembly. (5) Bolts (three).
1. With the engine running, move the tilt control lever to put the bucket in the correct angle to dig and
then move and tilt lever to the HOLD position. Lower the bucket to the ground and stop the engine.
2. Make sure that magnet assembly (4) has its longer length perpendicular (in a vertical position) to
tube assembly (3). The magnet assembly must also be extended toward the rear of the machine, as
shown.
3. Measure the distance between magnet assembly (4) and switch assembly (1). The correct
dimension is 6 to 10 mm (.24 to .39 in).
4. To change this distance, loosen three bolts (5) just enough and move tube assembly (3) and the
switch away from magnet assembly (4). Switch assembly (1) and cover (2) must be vertically
centered with magnet assembly (4).
5. Move tube assembly (3) until the front edge of switch assembly (1) is even (flush) with the front
edge of magnet assembly (4).
6. Tighten three bolts (5).
7. Start and run the engine. The bucket positioner must move the tilt control lever to the HOLD
position when the bucket moves from dump to the correct angle to dig.
8. If the bucket angle is not enough to dig, move the tube assembly toward the bracket. If the angle to
dig is too much, move the tube assembly farther out of the bracket.
