Pump Performance (Steering) - Test


SMCS - 4306-032-QP; 5070-032-ZH

The following procedure should be used in order to help determine if there is a problem with the steering
pump. Pump performance should be checked if the machine has slow steering times.

Machine Preparation
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and
personnel. Lower the attachments to the ground.

2. Allow only one operator on the machine. Keep all personnel away from the machine or in the
view of the operator.

3. Engage the parking brake.

Performance Test
Steering Cycle Time

The steering time is affected by the amount of oil flow that is produced by the steering pump. Check the
steering times in order to determine if there is a problem with the steering pump.

1. Perform the machine preparation for testing.

2. Warm the hydraulic oil to normal operating temperature. Raise the bucket slightly off the ground.

3. Maintain the engine speed at high idle.

4. Record the steering time from stop to stop. The steering time for machines that are equipped with
conventional steering is in Table 1.

Table 1

Steering Cycle Times

Idle 924G 924Gz 924G High Lift 928G, IT28G

LOW 3.7 seconds 3.8 seconds 4.2 seconds 5.5 seconds

HIGH 1.6 seconds 1.6 seconds 1.7 seconds 3.0 seconds

Note: Table 1 lists the specifications for the turns. While the parking brake is disengaged, the
difference between the left turn and the right turn must not differ by more than .3 second. While
the parking brake is engaged, the difference between the left turn and the right turn should
increase by no more than 0.2 seconds.

5. Lower the boom and place the bucket flat on the ground.

6. Reduce engine speed to low idle.

7. Stop the engine.

Compare the test results with the cycle times that are listed. The steering pump should be working
properly if the cycle times match the cycle times that are listed.

If the cycle times are not correct one of the following conditions may be present:

l The pressure setting for the backup relief valve is not within specifications.

l The pump is not upstroking.

l The pump may have excessive wear.

The main relief pressure should be measured. If the main relief pressure is low, the cycle times should
be retested after the main relief pressure has been corrected.

ReferenceFor more information on testing and adjusting the main relief valve, refer to the Service
Manual module Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve - Test and Adjust" for the machine that is being
serviced.

Test the pressure of the steering pump in order to make sure that the pump is upstroking.

ReferenceFor more information on testing and adjusting the steering pump, refer to the Service Manual
module Testing and Adjusting, "Piston Pump (Steering and Pilot) High Pressure Stall - Test and Adjust"
for the machine that is being serviced.

If the cycle time is slow for only one of the steering circuits, the circuit with slow cycle time should be
tested for one of the following conditions:

l Low relief valve setting

l Leak in the circuit

l Control spool that is not shifting fully
