Procedure for Cutting Deck Gear Pump Flow Test
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.
NOTE: Overaperiodoftime,thegearsandwearplates
in the gear pump can wear. A worn pump will by--pass

under heavy cutting conditions. Continued operation
with a worn, inefficient pump can generate excessive
heat and cause damage to the seals and other compo-
nents in the hydraulic system.

the flow control valve until 2000 PSI is obtained. Verify
with a phototac that the engine speed is 2400 RPM.

IMPORTANT: Do not run engine at full speed during
testing. At full engine speed, cutting deck gear
pump output can exceed 15 GPM and cause tester
damage.

At only 700mm wide the Mini Dumper is even at home on tight access
sites. No need to grunt, groan, and force the
mower about the yard. The US will be getting a revised 2011 Jeep Wrangler but the diesel option will not be offered in the United States.
