Steering Pump - Test and Adjust
SMCS - 4306-036
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this
machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on
the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the
hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or
hydraulic component.
Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the
hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the
attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders
must be supported properly.
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.
NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair
of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers

1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location.
2. Place the steering control lever in the NEUTRAL position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the engine.
6. Verify that the implement lockout switch is in the UNLOCKED position.
7. Move the control levers through the full range of travel several times. This process should
relieve any pressure that may be present in the implement hydraulic system.

10. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (F).
Test Procedure -Charge Pressure
1. Start the engine. Warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum temperature of 65° (150°).
2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Operate the engine at HIGH IDLE. Place all controls in the NEUTRAL position.
4. Record the pressure at tooling (A). The pressure at tooling (A) should be 2930 ± 240 kPa
(425 ± 35 psi). If the pressure is higher than the specified pressure, then the charge pressure
relief valve could be worn or out of adjustment.
5. If the pressure setting is within the specified limit, the test is complete.
6. If the pressure setting is not within the specified limit, perform the procedure in "Adjustment
Procedure - Charge Pressure Relief Valve" .

2. Attach one set of tooling (A) to pressure tap (HC).
3. Attach one set of tooling (A) to pressure tap (HD).
Test Procedure - Steering Loop Pressures
1. Start the engine. Warm the hydraulic oil to a minimum temperature of 65 °C (150 °F).
2. Operate the engine at 1600 rpm. Place all controls in the HOLD position.
3. Measure the pressures at pressure tap (HC) and (HD). In a NO STEER condition, the pressure
should be 690 ± 240 kPa (100 ± 35 psi) lower than charge pressure. Charge pressure is
2930 ± 240 kPa (425 ± 35 psi).
4. If the pressure at pressure tap (HC) and pressure tap (HD) is higher than 2930 ± 240 kPa
(425 ± 35 psi), then the charge pressure relief valve is improperly adjusted or failed. High
pressures could also be caused by low oil temperature.
5. Slowly move the steering control lever to the MAXIMUM STEER RIGHT position. The
steering system is in the STEER STALL CONDITION.
Note: Do not hold the machine in a STEER STALL CONDITION for more than 20
seconds at a time.
Note: The machine must not move. If the machine moves, check the brake system.
6. With the machine in a STEER STALL CONDITION, record the pressure in the right steering
loop at pressure tap (HD). The pressure at pressure tap (HD) should be 40505 ± 1555 kPa
(5875 ± 226 psi).
7. Slowly move the steering control lever to the MAXIMUM STEER LEFT position. The steering
system is in the STEER STALL CONDITION.
