Procedure for Gear Pump (P3) Flow Test
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.
9. If the measured pump flow is lower than 12.5 GPM
LPM) or a pressure of 1000 PSI (69 bar) could not
be obtained, check for restriction in gear pump intake
line. If intake line is not restricted, remove gear pump
and repair or replace pump (P3) as necessary.

3.
Disconnect outlet hose from gear pump section (P3)
(Fig. 43).
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the oil flow indicator
arrow on the flow gauge is showing that the oil will
flow from the pump, through the tester and into the
hydraulic hose.

proceeding with test.
After installing tester, start engine and run at idle

IMPORTANT: The pump is a positive displacement
type. If pump flow is completely restricted or
stopped, damage to the pump, tester or other com-
ponents could occur.
6.
Operate the engine at full speed (2750 RPM). DO
NOT engage the cutting decks.
7.
While watching tester pressure gauges, slowly close
flow control valve on the tester until 1000 PSI (69 bar)
is obtained on gauge. Verify that engine speed contin-
ues to be correct (2750 RPM). Record test results.
GAUGE READING TO BE:
A pump in good condition should have a flow of
approximately 14 GPM (53 LPM) at 1000 PSI (69
bar).
8.
Open tester flow control valve and stop engine.
