Testing And Adjusting

Introduction
NOTE: This manual is divided into the following two main sections:

1. Checking Procedures
2. Testing And Adjusting

Hydraulic Systems Testing And Adjusting sections are provided for the person who is more familiar with the combined operation
of the electronics and hydraulics.

NOTE: As a general rule, if there is a doubt to the cause of a problem, the electronic system should be checked first.

Reference: For information on Systems Operation of the above, see the following: Systems Operation, Electric And Electronic
Systems, SENR6185 and/or Systems Operation, Hydraulic System, SENR6186.

This manual contains information on the troubleshooting procedures of the hydraulic systems in the 315 excavators. For
troubleshooting the engine components, refer to the module Systems Operation, Testing And Adjusting, Basic Engine Components
3054 Engine, SENR or Systems Operation, Testing And Adjusting, Basic Engine Components 3046 Engine, SENR6457

Checking Procedures
In each checking procedure, it is assumed that the engine operation is normal unless otherwise specified.

Electronic Control System

The monitor and electronic controller are the main components of the electronic control system. The monitor and electronic
controller have a self diagnostic function. Self diagnostic checks of the monitor, electronic controller, and the communication line
between them are the first steps when troubleshooting the problem(s) in the electronic system.

Action alarm indicators on the monitor panel, alert an operator to a problem in the electronic system. The controller service
program "Data Mode" can also be used to identify the problems (see the section of this module "Data Mode"). If the service
program is activated during machine operation, problem(s) that are monitored by the monitoring system are indicated on the
character display. If the service program is activated when the machine operation is stopped, all existing problems and past
problems (problems that have not been corrected) are indicated on the character display. To activate the controller service program
"Data Mode", refer to the "Data Mode" section in this module.

Reference: For information on operation of the "Data Mode", make reference to: "Systems Operation, Testing And Adjusting,
Engine And Pump Electronic Control System", Form SENR6155.

Operational Tests
If the electronic power unit control system display indicates it is operating correctly, then do operational tests. Operate the
machine, following the procedures described in the section "Hydraulic System Testing And Adjusting". Compare the results of the
operational tests with specifications to determine the extent of the trouble. In operational tests, it is important to determine whether
or not enough hydraulic force or implement speed is a problem that extends over the entire machine or with only a specific
operation.

If there are any faults in the circuits between the main or pilot pumps and the control valves, the overall performance of the
machine will decrease. This type of problem in the hydraulic system is not detected by the self diagnostic functions of the
electronic control system described above (no action alarm indication on character display.). To detect such a problem, it is
necessary to check the flow characteristics of the pumps, the main relief pressure, pilot pressure, etc.

Testing And Adjusting
Introduction

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems on this

machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done
on the hydraulic systems. To prevent possible injury, refer to section,
Release Of Pressure In The Hydraulic System, before any fitting, hose
or component is loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.

When possible, the bucket must always be lowered to the ground before
service is started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the raised
position while tests or adjustments are done, be sure that boom, stick
and bucket have correct support.

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.

During diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember that correct oil temperature, flow, and pressure are necessary for correct
operation. Pump output (oil flow) is a function of engine speed (rpm). Oil pressure is caused by resistance to the flow of oil.

Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the system is the first step when troubleshooting a problem. Make the inspection with the engine off and the
implements lowered to the ground.

1. Check the level of the oil in the hydraulic tank. Slowly loosen the hydraulic tank pressure cap and release the pressure before
the fill/vent plug is removed.

2. Remove the filter element and check it for material that would give an indication of damage to a component.

3. Inspect all lines and connections for damage or leaks.

4. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken, or damaged components.

Checks During Operation

The checks during operation can be used to find leakage in the system. They can also be used to find a valve, pump, motor, or
cylinder that is not working correctly. The speed of rod movement or the torque on a motor can be used to check the condition of
the cylinders, motors, and pumps.

Operational Tests
NOTE: For specifications given in "Operational Tests", a "NEW" specification is the performance that can be expected for a new
machine. A "REBUILD" specification is the performance target to use after rebuilding the components of a system. A machine
that performs beyond "Service Limit" specifications should be checked for improper maintenance or adjustment, component wear,
or failure.

Specifications given in charts for a machine equipped with 5100 mm (16 ft 9 in) boom, 2600 mm (8 ft 6 in) stick, and SAE 0.65
m3 (7/8 yd3) bucket.

NOTE: The power mode selector switch must be placed at MODE III position and the work mode selector switch be in BOOM
PRIORITY MODE position, unless otherwise specified, during tests.

Operational Test Preparations

1. Engine speed:

Excavator with no load at high idle, 2180 80 rpm

2. Hydraulic oil temperature: 55 5C (131 9F)

NOTE: Fully move the stick in and out several times until the normal hydraulic oil temperature is reached.

3. Relief valve pressure settings are set according to specification.

3. Measure the travel deviation from the reference line.

NOTE: Refer to the chart in the section, "Travel Test On Level Ground" for travel deviation from the reference line specifications.

NOTE: If the travel deviation from the reference line is beyond the specification then the travel motors and main pumps may need
adjustment.

Component Test:

To determine if the travel motors need adjustment do the following procedure:

1. Start the engine and place the power mode selector switch in MODE III position. Place the engine speed dial at position "10"
and the travel speed switch in HIGH (rabbit) position. Move the machine by operating both travel levers at the same time.

2. The first 5 m (16.5 ft) are for a preliminary run.

pressure range where the second stage spring in each regulator activates.

Front Pump Adjustment

1. Loosen locknut (4).

2. Turn setscrew (3) until adjusted to the correct specification.

23 500 kPa (3400 psi) and 29 400 kPa (4250 psi) where the second stage spring activates.

6. Tighten locknut (2) to a torque of 16 2 Nm (12 1 lb ft).

Rear Pump Adjustment

To adjust the rear pump flow under constant horsepower control do the same as that described above using setscrews (8) and (9).

Maximum Flow Adjustment

Maximum flow adjustment procedure for front and rear pumps is the same. Use setscrew (6) for the front pump and setscrew (7)
for the rear pump.

1. Loosen locknut (5).

2. Turn setscrew (6) until adjusted to the correct specification. Turning the setscrew 1/4 turn clockwise decreases flow rate
approximately 3.0 liter/min (.8 U.S.gpm).
