2010/07/07 Transmission Pressures - Test (RENR4104-13)

SMCS - 3030, 3073, 3074 i04003698

When testing and adjusting the transmission and power train,

move the machine to an area clear of obstructions, with safe
exhaust ventilation for the exhausts. 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
transmission and power train.

Personal injury can result from spring force released when

removing cap screws.

Internal spring force will be released when cylinder assembly

cap screws are removed causing injury.

Always restrain cover as cap screws are loosened.

Follow the established procedure in the Service Manual to

service these parts.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and
repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with
suitable containers before opening any compartment or
disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and

mandates.

Before you begin the test, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting".

1. Operate the machine until the transmission oil is at operating temperature of 51 °C (124 °F).

2. Stop the machine on a hard level surface. Move the transmission control lever to the NEUTRAL position. Turn off the engine. Place blocks in
front of the wheels and place blocks behind the wheels.

4. Attach the 8T-0856 Pressure Gauges (0 to 6,000 kPa (0 to 870 psi)) to test ports (8) and (5). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission control (lever) in the NEUTRAL position. Record the pressure readings in Table 3. Remove the gauges.

5. Attach the 8T-0856 Pressure Gauges (0 to 6,000 kPa (0 to 870 psi)) to test port (1), (6), and (7). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission control (lever) in FIRST GEAR FORWARD. Record the pressure readings in Table 3. Remove the gauges.

6. Attach the 8T-0856 Pressure Gauges (0 to 6,000 kPa (0 to 870 psi)) to test ports (2), (4), and (7). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission control (lever) in SECOND GEAR FORWARD. Record the pressure readings in Table 3. Remove the gauges.

7. Attach the 8T-0856 Pressure Gauges (0 to 6,000 kPa (0 to 870 psi)) to test ports (3), (6), and (7). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission control (lever) in FIRST GEAR REVERSE. Record the pressure readings in table 3. Remove the gauges. If the pressures need
to be adjusted, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Initial Pressures - Test and Adjust".

8. Install the guards and the differential drive shaft.
