HYDROSTATIC MOTOR EFFICIENCY TEST
This test can be used to check the operating
efficiency of the motor.
IMPORTANT: When connecting a flowmeter into the
pump/motor circuit, make sure the meter is
connectedproperly and the control lever is stroked in
the direction being tested. If not, the hydrostatic
system and/or flowmeter may be damaged.
Efficiency Test Procedure
1. Raise the boom and rest on the boom locks.
2. Put the Service/Run switch in the “SERVICE”
position.
3. Disengage the parking brake.
4. Securely block the skid steer with all four wheels
off the ground.
CAUTION
Failure to securely support the skid steer could
result in movement of the loader during testing
causing serious injury or damage to the
equipment.
5. Raise the operator’s seat and latch in the raised
position.
6. Remove thestepshieldtoaccess thehydrostatic
motors.
7. Remove the high-pressurelinefromthepumpfor
the direction to be tested.
8. Connect the test hose from the fitting on the
pump to the outlet side of the flowmeter and the
line from the motor to the inlet s ide of the
flowmeter. Turn the pressure regulator valve on
the flowmeter to zero pressure.
