Procedure for Cutting Deck Gear Pump Flow Test
8. Flow indication should be approximately 11.5 GPM.
NOTE: Overaperiodoftime,thegearsandwearplates
in the pump can wear. A worn pump will by pass oil and
makethepumplessefficient.Eventually,enoughoilloss
will occur to cause the cutting unit motors to stall under
heavy cutting conditions. Continued operation with a
worn, inefficientpump can generate excessive heatand
causedamage tothe seals and othercomponents inthe
hydraulic system.
9. Shut off engine.
10.Disconnect
flow tester from hydraulic hose and fit-
ting. Reconnect hose to the fitting.
11.
If flow was less than 11.5 GPM or a pressure of 2000
PSIcannotbeobtained,checkforrestrictioninthepump
intake line (including oil filter and oil cooler). If line is not
restricted, remove gear pump and repair or replace as
necessary.
1.
Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem-
perature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes. Make sure the hydraulic tank is full.

Prevent personal injury and/or damage to equip-
ment. Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and Pre-
cautions for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning
of this section.
3.
Locate gear pump section to be tested (P1 or P2).

Disconnect appropriate hydraulic hose from 90o hy-
draulic fitting in gear pump (Fig. 31).

Make sure the flow control valve on the tester is fully
open.

Start engine and move throttle to full speed (2800 +
RPM). Do not engage the cutting units.
IMPORTANT: Do not fully restrict oil flow through
tester. In this test, the flow tester is positioned be-
fore the relief valve. Pump damage can occur if the
oil flow is fully restricted.
7.
Watch pressure gauge carefully while slowly closing
the flow control valve until 2000 PSI is obtained. Verify
with a phototac that the engine speed is 2800 + 50
RPM.
