Testing And Adjusting Hydraulic System
Introduction
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems on this

machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done
on the hydraulic systems. To prevent possible injury, refer to section,
Release Of Pressure In The Hydraulic System, before any fitting, hose
or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.
When possible, the bucket must always be lowered to the ground before
service is started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the raised
position while tests or adjustments are done, be sure that boom, stick
and bucket have correct support.
Swing lock must be engaged before service is started.
Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.
During diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember that correct oil temperature, flow, and pressure
are necessary for correct operation. Pump output (oil flow) is a function of engine speed (rpm). Oil
pressure is caused by resistance to the flow of oil.

NOTE: This manual is divided into the following three main sections:
1. Electronic System Testing And Adjusting

2. Checking Procedures
3. Hydraulic System Testing And Adjusting
NOTE: As a general rule, if there is a doubt as to the cause of a problem, the electronic system should
be checked first.
Reference: For information on Systems Operation of the above, make reference to: "Systems
Operation, Electronic And Electrical Systems", Form No. SENR5404 and/or "Systems Operation,
Hydraulic System", Form No. SENR5495.
This manual contains information on the troubleshooting procedures of the electronic control and
hydraulic systems in the 330, 330 L, and 330 LN Excavators. For troubleshooting the engine
components, refer to the module Systems Operation, Testing And Adjusting, Basic Engine
Components 3306 Engine, Form No. SENR2057.
Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the system is the first step when troubleshooting a problem. Make the
inspection with the engine off and the implements lowered to the ground.
1. Check the level of the oil in the hydraulic tank. Slowly loosen the hydraulic tank air vent plug and
release the pressure before the filler cap is removed.
2. Remove the filter element and check it for material that would give an indication of damage to a
component.
3. Inspect all lines and connections for damage or leaks.
4. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken, or damaged components.
Checks During Operation

The checks during operation can be used to find leakage in the system. They can also be used to find a
valve, pump, motor, or cylinder that is not working correctly. The speed of rod movement or the
torque on a motor can be used to check the condition of the cylinders, motors, and pumps.
Operational Tests
NOTE: For specifications given in "Operational Tests", a "NEW" specification is the performance
that can be expected for a new machine. A "REBUILD" specification is the performance target to use
after rebuilding the components of a system. A machine that performs beyond "SERVICE LIMIT"
specifications should be checked for improper maintenance or adjustment, component wear, or
failure.
Specifications given in charts for a machine equipped with 6500 mm (21 ft 4 in) boom, 3300 mm (10
ft 10 in) stick, and SAE 1.4 m3 (1-3/4 yd3) bucket.
NOTE: The power mode selector switch must be placed at Mode III position, unless otherwise
specified, during tests.
Operational Test Preparations
1. Engine speed:
Excavator with no load at high idle, 1850 ± 50 rpm
2. Hydraulic oil temperature: 55 ± 5°C (131 ± 9°F)
NOTE: Fully move the stick in and out several times until the normal hydraulic oil temperature
is reached.
3. Relief valve pressure settings are set according to specification.
Reference: Make reference to the section in this module "Relief Valves", "Specifications".

swing bearing.
NOTE: Use a reference point that is visible from the operator's seat as a indicator of when to stop the
360° rotation.

Specifications
NOTE: A new or rebuilt machine must perform according to NEW or REBUILD specifications. A
machine that performs beyond SERVICE LIMIT specifications must be checked for improper
adjustment, wear, or damage of relief valves or pumps.

(9) Automatic travel speed change valve. (10) Screw. (11) Locknut.
1. While reading the pressure gauges connected to the signal pressure line (5) and at tap (1), slowly
move the left travel control lever/pedal to the FORWARD position. When the pressure at tap (1) reads
32 400 ± 980 kPa (4700 ± 140 psi), the pressure gauge connected to signal line (5) should reduce to 0
kPa (0 psi).
NOTE: These pressures indicate that the automatic travel speed change valve has caused the travel
motor to shift to LOW (tortoise) speed.

3. If the pressure gauge connected to signal line (5) does not read 0 kPa (0 psi) at the time the system
pressure at tap (1) reads 32 400 ± 980 kPa (4700 ± 140 psi), then adjust automatic travel speed change
valve (9) as follows:

(0 psi) when the pressure gauge at tap (1) reads 32 400 ± 980 kPa (4700 ± 140 psi).
b. Tighten locknut (11) to a torque of 16 ± 1 N·m (12 ± 1 lb ft).
NOTE: Turning screw (10) clockwise increases the pressure. Turning screw (10) counterclockwise
decreases the pressure.
4. Repeat Step 1.
5. Slowly move the travel control lever/pedal towards the NEUTRAL position until the pressure
gauge at tap (1) decreases to 18 600 ± 980 kPa (2700 ± 140 psi). Now the pressure gauge connected to

(3) Monitor. (4) Monitor panel.
NOTE: Before starting pump flow tests, check the action alarm indicators on controller (2) and
monitor panel (4). If they indicate normal, then perform the operational tests.
NOTE: If operational tests (for example, cycle times) indicates that a slow implement problem is
common to the circuits of one pump, then the problem is most likely in the hydraulic system. Then
perform the "Pump Flow Tests".
NOTE: If the operational tests indicate a implement speed problem common to both pump circuits,
then the engine, fuel, or working altitude may be the problem.

is fully open (turned counterclockwise).
To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage from failed lines

or components while the flow meter is returned to the open flow
position after a flow test, slowly open the flow meter valve and monitor
pump flow at the same time to make sure flow increases. If pump flow
does not increase as the flow meter is opened, shut the engine off and
determine what is causing the pump not to upstroke.
1. With the engine running, start the service program "Calibration Mode" and maintain the power shift
pressure at a constant pressure of 1330 ± 50 kPa (190 ± 7.5 psi). The power shift pressure is read at
tap (29), using pressure gauge (30).
NOTE: During this test, do not turn the starter switch to the OFF position to prevent any change in
power shift pressure. See the section in this module "Calibration Mode Stop Procedure".
NOTE: To start service program "Calibration Mode" see the section in this module "Calibration
Mode Start-up".
2. Slowly turn valve (33) of portable hydraulic tester (25) clockwise and record pump flow at each of
the following pressure points. Use pressure gauge (28) at tap (27) or (32) for this pressure reading.

NOTE: Flow specifications given above are based on an engine speed of 1800 rpm. To get more
accurate test results, each of measurements should be corrected by calculating as follows.
