HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTING
SET-UP:
With the Loadoll unloaded, install a 0 to 3000 psi pressure gauge between the pump pres-
sure hose and the valve “IN” port, using a “T” fitting and close pipe nipple.
TEST 1:
Start the vehicle engine and operate the PTO. Do not run vehicle engine more than 1200
RPM. Check pressure without operating any function.
From 25 to
psi:
NORMAL
Greater than
psi:
Restriction in valve, filter, or plumbing.
Less than
psi:
Weak pump or restriction in pressure line.
NOTE:
If STEP 1 indicates normal pressures, proceed to STEP 2. STEP 1 pressures must be nor-
mal for the following tests!
TEST 2:
Run the bed forward to the transport position. Hold the valve in the “BED ON” position to
cause hydraulic oil to go through the pressure relief valve. Read pressure, then return the control valve
to neutral. Do the same test on the tilt cylinder, checking it while the bed is in the transport position.
From 1800 to 2500 psi:
NORMAL
Greater than 2500 psi:
Pressure relief valve is set too high.
Pressure relief valve is malfunctioning.
Less than 1800 psi:
*Internal cylinder leak.
** Pressure relief valve set too low.
**Weak pump.
* This may be the problem if one cylinder is at the normal pressure and the other is at a lower
pressure.
** This may be the problem if both cylinders show the same pressure.
TEST 3:
Run the tilt cylinder until the bumper almost touches the ground. Return the cylinder to the
transport position. Check pressures while the bed is tilting.
From 1000 to 2500 psi:
NORMAL
Greater than 2500 psi:
Restriction in return hoses or cylinder.
Binding cylinder.
Binding tilt mechanism.
Less than 1000 psi:
Weak pump.
Pressure hose restriction
Internal cylinder leak.
TEST 4:
Slide the bed cylinder back and then forward. Check pressures while the bed is moving
out. The following pressures are with the bed installed.
From 300 to 900 psi:
NORMAL
Greater than 900 psi:
Restriction in return hoses or cylinder.
Binding cylinder.
Binding slide mechanism.
Less than 300 psi:
Weak pump.
Pressure hose restriction
Internal cylinder leak.
TEST 5:
Unhook the winch cable and lay it loosely on the bed. Operate the winch both directions.
Check pressures while the winch is operating.
From 800 to 1200 psi:
NORMAL
Greater than 1200 psi:
Restriction in return hoses or winch motor.
Binding winch motor.
Binding winch gears or drum.
Less than 800 psi:
Weak pump.
Pressure hose restriction
Internal motor leak.
