Operational Checks
SMCS - 5050
The checks during operation can be used to find leakage in the system and components that are not
functioning correctly. The speed of rod movement or the torque on a motor can be used to check the
condition of the cylinders, motors and the pumps.
Specifications are listed in tables for the following operational checks. These specifications are
calculated average values. The values will vary due to the configuration of the machine.
A machine with the following equipment was used to achieve these specifications: 6500 mm (21 feet
3 inches) boom, 3300 mm (10 feet 8 inches) stick and 1.5 m3 (1.7 yd3) bucket.

Note: A New specification is the performance that can be expected for a new machine. A Rebuild
specification is the performance that can be expected after rebuilding the components of a system.
Performance beyond the Service Limit is an indication of these problems: improper maintenance or
adjustment, component wear and failure.
Preparation For Operational Checks

Perform Steps 1 through 4 prior to performing any of the following operational checks.
1. Start the engine.
2. Place the machine controls at the following settings: Power Mode, Boom Priority Mode,
Engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch OFF.
3. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).
4. Set the relief valve pressure settings to the proper specification.
Note: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Pressure Specifications".
