Stop the machine on a level ground and

lower the work equipment to the ground.
Then, release the residual pressure from
the hydrauli c cir cuit. For detai ls, see
“Releasing residual pressure from hydrau-
lic circuit”.
Measuring
Before measuring the oil pressure in the PC
control circuit, check that the oil pressure in the
work equipment, swing, and travel circuits and
the control circuit source pressure are normal.
Measure the oil pressure in the pump PC con-
trol circuit under the following condition.
Hydraulic oil temperature: Within operating
range
2) Install nipples L2 and nipples [1] of
hydraulic tester L1 and connect them to oil
pressure gauges [2].
Connect the measuring part of plug
(3) by using joint (790-301-1271) and
elbow (790-301-1530) of hydraulic
tester L1 and nipple [1] so that it will
not interfere with the drain piping.
Use the oil pressure gauge of 60 MPa
{600 kg/cm2}.

1. Measuring of PC valve output pressure

(servo piston inlet pressure)
Measure the PC valve output pressure
(servo piston inlet pressure) and pump
discharge pressure simultaneously to
compare them.
1) Open the side cover of the pump room
and remove oil pressure pickup plugs (1),
(2), (3), and (4). 3) Start the engine and operate the arm cyl-
(1): Front pump discharge pressure inder to the IN stroke end.
