General Testing and Adjusting Information

SMCS - 5050
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems 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 the section, Testing and
Adjusting, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release" before any fitting,
hose or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.
When possible, the work tool 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 the
boom, stick and work tool have correct support.
The swing lock (if equipped) 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.
The correct oil temperature, flow, and pressure are necessary for correct operation. Pump output (oil
flow) is a function of engine speed (rpm) and valve adjustment. Oil pressure is caused by resistance
to the flow of oil.
Visual checks and measurements are the first steps during troubleshooting. Refer to Testing And
Adjusting, "Visual Inspection". Next, perform the operational checks. Refer to Testing And
Adjusting, "Operational Checks". Finally, perform the required tests and adjustments on the
machine.

Accumulator (Pilot) - Test and Charge

SMCS - 5077-045-PS ; 5077-081-PS ; 5077-081-PX
Dry nitrogen is the only gas approved for use in the accumulators. The
charging of oxygen gas in an accumulator will cause an explosion. An
explosion can be eliminated by using nitrogen gas cylinders with
standard CGA (Compressed Gas Association, Inc.) No. 580 connectors.
When nitrogen gas is ordered, make sure to order the cylinders with
CGA No. 580 connectors.
Do not rely on color codes or other methods of identification to tell the

difference between nitrogen and oxygen cylinders. In any application,
never use an adapter to connect your nitrogen charging group to a valve
outlet used on both nitrogen, oxygen, or other gas cylinders. BE SURE
YOU USE DRY NITROGEN (99.8% purity).

Testing and Charging the Pilot System Accumulators

Stop the engine. Release the pressure from the pilot hydraulic system. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release".
Gas pressure is variable with temperature. Check the temperature of the air around the accumulator.
In order to check the amount of charge in an accumulator, the accumulator must be at the same
temperature as the surrounding air.
Note: The temperature of the accumulator may change as the accumulator is being charged due to
the expansion or compression of the nitrogen charge. It may be necessary to charge the accumulator
in several steps in order to ensure a correct charge.

Note: Pressure values in Table 5 are approximate values. Use a pressure gauge for adjustment.
Note: Normal operations of the engine and pumps are necessary for the pressure adjustments. If the
results of the pressure adjustment are not correct, then the engine and the pump characteristic curve
needs to be checked. Slow output flow from the pump is an indication of air in the hydraulic system.
Make sure that no air is present in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Main
Hydraulic Pump Air - Purge".
