2017/08/02 Internal Brake Leakage - Check (KENR9933-16)

SMCS - 4250 i07090326 

Procedure 1

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine

movement.

Sudden movement of the machine or release of air pressure or

oil pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To help prevent possible injury before testing and adjusting any

air system or hydraulic system, perform the procedure in the
Testing and Adjusting, "General Information" section.

5P-1752 Plate 2

Table 1

1. Use 5P-1752 Plate to block the brake cooling lines for one of the rear brakes. Insert the 5P-1752 Plate at a convenient location.

2. Put a regulator with a pressure gauge at the inlet for the brake cooling oil. The pressure gauge should have a range of 0 to 400 kPa
(0 to 58 psi).

3. Adjust the regulator to a maximum pressure of 138 kPa (20 psi).

Note: Do not exceed this pressure.

4. Pressurize the brake assembly to 138 kPa (20 psi). Record this pressure. Turn off the air supply.

5. After five minutes, check the pressure on the pressure gauge. The pressure on the pressure gauge should be equal to the pressure that was
recorded in Step 4.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other rear wheel brake.

The following list contains potential causes of leakage.

Duo-cone seal leakage

Leaking O-ring seal

Porosity in hub

Procedure 2

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine

movement.

Sudden movement of the machine or release of air pressure or

oil pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To help prevent possible injury before testing and adjusting any

air system or hydraulic system, perform the procedure in the
Testing and Adjusting, "General Information" section.

Fabrication details of the filler cap

1. Install 5K-5068 Fitting to 5P-0306 Transducer (2). Install 6V-4142 Fitting to 5K-5068 Fitting.

2. Fabricate filler cap (4).

3. Screw filler cap (4) onto the hydraulic tank for the hoist and the brakes.

4. Remove the air breather from the hydraulic tank for the hoist and the brakes. Install a 9S-4183 Plug in the breather opening.
 5. Use 5P-1752 Plate to block the brake cooling lines for one of the rear brakes. Use a 5P-1752 Plate to block the outlet line for the brake
cooling at the other rear brake. Insert the 5P-1752 Plate at convenient locations.

Location of the breather for the rear axle housing

6. Remove the breather for the rear axle housing.

7. Connect a 6V-3966 Fitting As at the breather location.

8. Connect 198-4240 Digital Pressure Indicator to the 6V-3966 Fitting As.

Note: Be sure that the oil level in the hydraulic tank for the hoist and the brakes is not too high. If the oil level is too high, the oil will spray out
of the transducer.

9. Install an air hose from an outside air supply to the 6V-4142 Fitting (3) on the filler cap.

10. Turn on the air supply.

11. If there is a vacuum on the pressure gauge, there is leakage in the brakes. The brakes must be repaired.
Note: If the pressure on the gauge is 0 kPa (0 psi) then there is no internal leakage in the brakes on that wheel.

12. Repeat this procedure on the other rear wheel to determine if there is internal leakage.

13. Remove all test equipment.

The following list contains potential causes of leakage.

Duo-cone seal leakage

Leaking O-ring seal

Porosity in the hub
