Checking Hydraulic System
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve, then bleed air. (Refer to ªBleed-
ing Hydraulic Systemº, ST-5.)
2. Run engine.
Make sure temperature of fluid in tank rises to 60 to 80ÉC (140
to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is
started with shut-off valve closed, oil pressure in oil pump will
increase to relief pressure, resulting in an abnormal rise in oil
temperature.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right
positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Oil pump maximum standard pressure:
TD27Ti engine
8,800 - 9,200 kPa (88 - 92 bar,
89 - 93 kg/cm
2, 1,276 - 1,334 psi)
ZD30DTi engine
9,800 - 10,500 kPa (98.0 - 105.0 bar,
99.96 - 107.10 kg/cm
2, 1,421 - 1,523 psi)
4. If oil pressure is below the maximum pressure, slowly close
shut-off valve and check pressure.
IWhen pressure reaches maximum pressure, gear is damaged.
IWhen pressure remains below maximum pressure, pump is
damaged.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve for more than 15 seconds.
5. If oil pressure is higher than maximum pressure, check oil
pump flow control valve.
6. After checking hydraulic system, remove Tool and add fluid if
necessary, then completely bleed air out of system.NST033
