Transmission Lubrication Oil Pressure - Test

SMCS - 3080-032-PX

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.

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".

Rear of the machine

(1) Fitting (Test)

3. Remove the plug from the transmission case. Install 6V-3965 Fitting (Test) (1) into the port.
Attach the 8T-0846 Pressure Gauge (0 to 1,000 kPa (0 to 145 psi)) to fitting (1) . Remove the
drive shaft.

4. Start the engine. Turn the differential lock to the ON position. Operate the machine in the
NEUTRAL position at low idle. The pressure on the gauge should be a minimum of 28 kPa (4
psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 4.

5. Operate the machine in the NEUTRAL position at high idle. The pressure on the gauge should
be a minimum of 340 kPa (50 psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 4.

6. Operate the machine in FIRST GEAR FORWARD at low idle. The gauge pressure should be a
minimum of 7 kPa (1 psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 4.

7. Operate the machine in FIRST GEAR FORWARD at high idle. The gauge pressure should be a
minimum 207 kPa (30 psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 4.

8. Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 with the differential lock in the OFF position. Pressures from the
transmission lubrication that vary with the differential lock in the ON position indicate leakage
in the differential lock system.

9. Stop the machine. Turn the engine OFFand install the differential drive shaft. Remove the test
equipment.
