Charge Pump Flow Test (Using Tester With Pressure Gauges and
Flow Meter) (Machine Serial Numbers below 316000000)
The charge pump flow test should be performed if a hydraulic problem is
identified that affects both the steering and lift circuits.
Note:
The charge pump provides make-up fluid for internal hydrostat
components before flow is available for the steering and lift circuits. Flow
measured in this test will be less than total charge pump output.
1. Ensure that the hydraulic fluid is at normal operating temperature by
operating the machine for approximately 10 minutes.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting deck (or implement) lowered
and PTO switch off. Ensure that the engine is shut off. Set the parking brake
and block the front wheels to prevent machine movement.
3. Read all Warning, Cautions, and precautions listed at the beginning of this
section.
CAUTION
Before opening hydraulic system, operate all hydraulic controls to
relieve system pressure and avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic
fluid.

4. Place a drain pan under the transmission. Clean the area around the
transmission charge pump outlet (pressure) fitting (
). Disconnect
the hydraulic hose from the outlet fitting.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the fluid flow indicator arrow on the flow meter is
showing that the fluid will flow from the pump, through the tester
and to the hydraulic hose.
5. Connect inlet hose of tester with pressure gauges and flow meter to the
transmission charge pump outlet (pressure) fitting. Connect the tester outlet
hose to the hydraulic hose disconnected from the transmission fitting in step
5.
