In order to facilitate troubleshooting for suspected hydraulic pump faults, the various working pumps can be checked separately.
This can help isolate the pump that is not operational. The times in the tables below are approximate and may be individually
dependent.
NOTE!
The hydraulic oil shall have an operating temperature 20–40 °C.

Checking using dumping times

1. Check according to the table below.

Dumping times

Checking pump no. Conditions when checking Dump position [T1] Lower position
i [T2]i
1+2+7 Full throttle Unaffected steering approx. 12 sec. approx. 12 sec.
1+2[T3]i Idling speed Unaffected steering approx. 43 sec. approx. 24 sec.
1+2+7 1000 rpm Unaffected steering approx. 24 sec. approx. 18 sec.

[T1] Time for the load body to raise from lowered position to dump position. The dump lever in dump position.

[T2] Time for the load body to lower from dump position to lowered position. The dump lever in lowered position.

[T3] Dump boost (P7) turned off at low rpm.

Checking using steering times

2. Check according to the table below

Steering times

Checking pump no. Conditions when checking Steering time

[T1]i
1+2 Full throttle Steer from full lock right to full lock left and then 3.2–3.9 s
from full lock left to right. [T2]i
 1+2 Idling speed Steer from full lock right to full lock left, and then full approx. 6 sec.
lock left to right. The steering times should be the
same in both directions.(b)
2 Idling speed [T3] Steer from full lock right to full lock left, and then full approx. 10 sec.
i lock left to right. The steering times should be the [T4]i
Heating position same in both directions.(b)
for hydraulic oil.

[T1] Steering time states the time in one direction: max. steering angle (full lock) right to max. steering angle leftor from
max. steering angle left to max. steering angle right.

[T2] The steering times must be the same for full lock right to left as for left to right. Otherwise the steering link must
be adjusted, see Steering times, checking and adjusting.

[T3] Keep the dump lever in the lowered position. After 5 seconds the heating function activates until the lever is
released.

[T4] If steering time is longer, check pump 2. If steering time is shorter, check pump 1.

By comparing the measured times with the times in the tables it is possible to exclude certain pumps and pin-point the pump
that is not working. Then additional checking should take place, see:

Ÿ Hydraulic pump, standby pressure, checking and adjusting

Ÿ Hydraulic pump, max working pressure, checking and adjusting
Ÿ Steering times, checking and adjusting
Ÿ Dump function, checking pressure

If dumping is slow it may be due to:

1. P7 not deploying with PWM

2. P7 has defective function
3. MA9506 is not working
4. P1 has defective function
5. P2 has defective function
