8.1.2 Testing the hydraulic fluid supply
The axial piston unit should always have asufficient supply ofhydraulic fluid.
For this reason, the supply ofhydraulic fluid must beensured atthestart
ofthecommissioning process.
When you test the hydraulic fluid supply, constantly monitor noise development and
check the hydraulic fluid level inthe reservoir. Ifthe axial piston unit becomes louder
(cavitation) orthedrain fluid isdischarged with bubbles, this isanindication that
the axial piston unit isnot being sufficiently supplied with hydraulic fluid.
For information ontroubleshooting, seechapter14 "Troubleshooting" onpage52.
To test the hydraulic fluid supply:
1. Allow the drive motor torun atthelowest rotational speed. The axial piston unit
should beoperated without load. Pay attention toleaks and noises.
2. Check the axial piston unit's drain line during the test. The drain fluid should
bewithout bubbles.
3. Increase the load and check whether the working pressure rises asexpected.
4. Perform aleak test toensure the hydraulic system issealed and can withstand
the max. pressure.
5. Check the suction pressure atportS oftheaxial piston pump atnominal speed
and max. swivel angle. Refer todatasheet92801 for the permissible value.
6. At max. working pressure, check the case pressure atport T
1
, T
2
or T
3
.
Refertodatasheet92801 for the permissible value.
8.1.3 Performing afunctional test
WARNING
Improperly connected axial piston unit!
Mixing up the ports will cause malfunctions (e.g.lift instead oflower) and could
endanger personnel and equipment!
▶ Before the functional test, check whether the piping specified inthe hydraulic
circuit diagram has been installed.
Once you have tested the hydraulic fluid supply, perform afunctional test
ofthemachine/system. The functional test should beperformed according tothe
instructions ofthemachine/system manufacturer.
The axial piston unit istested for functional capability and performance before
delivery according tothe technical data. During commissioning, make sure the axial
piston unit was installed properly inthe machine/system.
▶ After starting the drive motor, check inparticular the specified pressures,
e.g.working pressure and case pressure.
▶ Perform aleak test without and with load prior tonormal operation.
▶ If necessary, disconnect the pressure gauge and plug the ports with the specified
threaded plugs.
